OFM Transforms your body back to its natural metabolic state: The one where it metabolizes your onboard fat for most of its aerobic energy needs . . . and a LOT more!

Here is an article that explains OFM more - What is OFM (Optimized Fat Metabolism)

For optimal fat oxidation to occur it is critical to build Metabolic Capacity at the cellular and mitochondrial level.

• This means optimizing the health and integrity of cell wall lipid (fatty acids) bilayer for optimal transit of nutrients and oxygen in and heat, CO2 and waste products out.  
• Increasing the size, density and health of the mitochondria to maximize beta-oxidation.

OFM bases its premise on the science of:

1. Evolutionary Biology
2. Established Metabolic & Physiological science
3. Application of these in the real world of training, competition and daily life; i.e. reality.
4. Developing data to corroborate the real world performances our athletes experience.

OFM makes full use of concentrated forms of carbohydrates for performance when called for, however, because of the fundamental shift to fat as fuel, the amount of carbohydrates is significantly less and delivers a more powerful and sustainable performance push.

In fact, the ‘Strategic’ use of carbohydrates are a key component of OFM because they are highly adaptive for:

1. Increasing fat oxidation capacity at higher intensities of physical effort.
2. Maintaining the ability to access glucose for explosive and sustained performance pushes necessary for competition and high level training on top of a fat burning base.
3. By increasing Metabolic Capacity, a significant amount of ‘strategic carbohydrates’ can be used in competition without restriction for performance gains without the long term impacts.
   

Intermittent fasting simply happens. When OFM adapted fasting becomes a seamless and integral part of your daily life.

OFM teaches fasting differently than metric driven programs with their fasting and feeding windows. By addressing the underlying metabolic and physiological pathways instead of numbers OFM fasting protocols teach you how to achieve the goals of fasting with ease.

OFM works with your body’s natural physiology which will give you these benefits:

No. OFM actually allows unlimited consumption of non-starchy vegetables while ‘strategically’ using concentrated forms of carbohydrates to provide the performance push needed to perform during higher intensity training and competition.

As you build Metabolic Capacity your physiologic dependence on carbohydrates will be significantly lower. This makes managing their consumption considerably easier, while, at the same time, you will gain a level of carbohydrate tolerance so you can consume them as needed or when a situation dictates without becoming metabolically reliant upon them.

The kinds of carbohydrates that work for you in the form easiest to consume during and immediately around physical activity:

• Gels
• Bars
• Liquid Forms of carbohydrate based calories
• Shot blocks
• Candy, yes, candy!
• Gummy bears,worms, etc.
  Fruit rolls
• Real foods ranging from PB&J to mashed potatoes to fruit
• Amino Acids / BCAA’s (yes, AA’s & BCAA’s when ingested during exercise are primarily metabolized to glucose)
