A Must Read

Outsmarting the Female Fat cell by Debra Waterhouse is an amazing book for women who would like to lose weight permanently without "Dieting". She has six strategies to the OFF (outsmarting Female Fat) plan.

•      
• 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

Debra Waterhouse gives many real life examples of excuses and how to over come them. She takes the reader through a three month plan where you slowly integrate each one of these strategies into your life. This is not a diet plan this is a a lifestyle.

The key points I got out of the book are:

1. Stop starving yourself. When a female goes on a diet her body is actually storing more fat. Her fat cells enlarge, her metabolism slows down and she gains weight. Waterhouse goes into great detail on the science of this process and it is well worth reading. If you are hungry EAT
2. Stop eating after 6pm. 75% of calories are burned between 6am and 6pm. 25% are burned between 6pm to 6am
3. Do Not Over Eat.  Anything is fattening if you over eat it. Your body will store extra calories whether it is fruit or cake.
4. Exercise

It Takes Time! There is no such thing as a quick fix. Dieting does not work. Starving does not work.The last few months I have taken the information in this book and have gave it a shot. It works. I'm not starving. I have energy and I feel great. There are going to be times when I break the rules but there is always a new day to start again.
