THE OFF PLAN STRATEGIES
The OFF Plan consists of 6 effective strategies that switch your fat cells off because they are directly opposed to what switches your fat cells on. For example, if nocturnal eating activates the lipogenic enzymes, then daytime eating deactivates the lipogenic enzymes and prevents fat storage. If inactivity limits the lipolytic enzymes, then exercise stimulates the lipolytic enzymes to release fat.
Inactivity Dieting
Overeating
Skipping meals
Nocturnal eating
High fat intake
Aerobicize your fat cells
Stop dieting and start eating
Feed your body, not your fat cells
Shrink and multiply your meals
Become a daytime eater
Fat-proof your diet
As I will discuss throughout this program, regular aerobic exercise is by far the top strategy. If you do nothing else, exercise!
But to permanently and successfully outsmart your female fat cells, regular aerobic exercise and the OFF Plan eating strategies is the winning combination for making your fat cells smaller. Exercise will ensure fat release, and eating habit changes will prevent fat storage. To most of my clients' surprise, the OFF strategies do not emphasize what to eat and what not to eat. What you eat does not trigger your fat cells as much as why, when, and how much you eat. Your food choices are important for general health, but it's your overall eating habits that have the greatest influence on switching your fat cells off. Only one strategy out of six focuses on food choices—and fat-proofing your diet is the last strategy!
Each of the strategies is addressed separately in this book, but here is an example of how they work together in switching your fat cells off. Before making the OFF Plan a part of her life, Chrisi didn't exercise, dieted every January and September, skipped lunch, overate dinner at 8:00 P.M., and ate high-fat foods.
After following the OFF Plan for about nine months, she went on a sailing trip with some friends. Her friends could not believe that she ate the way she did, looked great, and maintained her weight during the trip while they all gained weight. They commented that it seemed as if she was eating all day long and eating whatever she wanted to. In reality, the OFF Plan gave her the freedom to eat like a naturally thin person—she didn't
deny herself, ate when she was hungry, ate small frequent meals so that she was seldom overeating, and didn't eat late at night (well, except for one 9:00 P.M. dinner). She also kept up with her exercise program. She enjoyed the trip and outsmarted her fat cells at the same time.
So there's the scientific basis of the OFF Plan and the explanation of how it works to switch your fat cells off. The end result is that you will change the enzyme system of your fat cells. You will have more releasing enzymes than storage enzymes—and that's the only way to permanently shrink your fat cells. I hope that you are encouraged by the OFF Plan and eager to begin practicing the strategies. But before you dive in, I want to prepare you for a successful program by enhancing your readiness, commitment, and motivation. They are your initial ingredients for success.
