Get Slim, Live Longer, Be Healthier ■^21the weight off, if you stick to the program for most other meals. Once
you become a good fat burner, you can also eat a little more saturated
fat. The kind of fat you eat becomes less important because you are
able to burn it off more easily.
Many people, however, cannot deviate from the program.Once they fall off the diet, they become leptin resistant once
again and begin to experience food cravings and rapid weight
gain. They quickly lose their ability to be fat burners and begin
hoarding fat. If you have a history of food cravings and overeating, it is
imperative that you simply stay on the diet. If you go off the diet and be-
gin to experience weight gain, go right back on it.
Once you’ve slimmed down and regained your leptin sensitivity, ifyou do indulge in an occasional high-starch, high-carbohydrate meal, you
can burn it off by doing exercise after eating. Fifteen minutes of vigorous
exercise can burn up the sugar. Once you are no longer leptin resistant,
your body’s hormonal signaling will be able to bounce back to normal
more quickly. If, however, you go back to your old eating habits, you will
quickly become leptin resistant, and this quick exercise fix won’t work.
