Rotation diets shift around the types of food you eat day to day so that your body cannot adapt to your diet as easily. Some of these diets will shift the number of carbs you eat day to day, while others will shift the content of meals day to day (for example you might have a high-carb, low-fat breakfast for two days, then the next day it would be low-carb and moderate fat.)

The point of these is to prevent your body from adapting to your diet plan. Plateaus and “sticking points” where you stop losing weight are common problems in many weight loss programs that often require some kind of change-up to work through them, but Rotation diets have a change mechanism built in. Often even before you reach a “sticking point”, your body will start to burn fat less and less quickly as it adapts to what you eating, and rotation diets can prevent this slowdown as well. The constant change-up will make it harder for your body to realize that it is losing fat, and it will be less likely to respond by doing such things as slowing down your metabolism. Especially if your body thinks it is starving, it will do what it can to slow things down.

Rotation is a good weight loss principle no matter what diet you are on, and several diets make it the cornerstone of their program. The problem is that you still need to make sure that the rest of the diet plan is sound and will work well in conjunction with rotation. The advantage to specific Rotation diet plans is that that they will have a plan to follow if you are not good at figuring out how to do the rotation yourself.

Some of the more heavily advertised rotation-style diets are:

Carb Rotation Diet (this program tends to shift the number of carbs day to day)

Fat Loss 4 Idiots (this program mixes up your meals day to day, and has software to help plan the menu.)

Glycemic Index (GI) has become the basis for many diets, and even those that don’t mention it explicity will talk in terms of “good carbs” and “bad carbs”. Glycemic index is a measure of how quickly the carbohydrates in food get converted to blood sugar. The lower the number, the slower the food gets converted. Slower conversion leads to more steady blood sugar levels, which promotes better weight loss and better overall health. Spikes in blood sugar levels trigger increased insulin output which causes the body to store fat, while steadier blood sugar will result in more overall energy and less hunger.

For better health and better weight loss, foods with lower glycemic indexes are preferrable and many diet plans emphasize these. Examples of low glycemic foods include legumes/beans, oats, oatmeal, barley, bran, and most fruits and vegetables (but not potatoes). These are the “good carbs”. Bad carbs are those that converted to sugar very quickly like potatoes, white bread, and white rice. Generally speaking, the good carbs include fiber. Fiber helps to slow down the conversion to blood sugar.

Not only fiber, but protein and fat also help slow down the conversion to blood sugar. So while some foods have a low glycemic index, it is also possible to make any meal better in terms of blood sugar by including fiber, protein, and even a little fat. This is why many diet plans emphasize high protein and high fiber, and this is why you can sometimes include some of the bad carbs in your diet as long as you control the portion size and balance the meal out with plenty of protein and fiber.
