The Fat Burning Index ™ is what we've done with all-science 'ketogenic ratio' of foods and meals. We used a scientific formula recognized by clinicians and fitness professionals - but we adapted it to
needs of a normal, regular person, without serious diseases (always - always! - consult with your physician before you start any diet!) and not aiming for a bodybuilding competition.We also recognize this person's natural tendencies -- to get bored on a strict diet, to cheat time and time again, to come close to giving up. Our Fat Burning Index ™ approach allows you to have any food.
"ANY food? So can I eat all I want?"
We promise that as long as you eat
foods we suggest, you will never count calories. You might want to ask: "So what's new? This is exactly what all low carb diets promise, don't they?"
Right. But we go much further. We promise that you will not count carbohydrates, fats, or protein. If you find a single diet, online or offline, that frees its dieters from that much counting, let us know and we'll cheerfully refund your money and send you a $20 Amazon.com gift certificate. Does this sound too good to be true?
You might be doubtful and chances are that mainstream diets are
reason. Of course you couldn't avoid opinions like
below Q&A posted by Health Care Reality Check:
Q: Can a person eat unlimited calories, and still lose weight, as long as they severely restrict carbohydrates?
A: No, she can not. The basis of ketogenic diets, such as
Atkins Diet, is a severe restriction of carbohydrate calories, which simply causes a net reduction in total calories. Since carbohydrate calories are limited, intake of fat usually increases. This high fat diet causes ketosis (increased blood ketones from fat breakdown), which suppresses hunger, and thus contributes to caloric restriction. -- Ellen Coleman, RD, MA, MPH
Is this a correct answer?
Let's first discuss whether it's a correct question. Or, rather, is this
real question so frequently asked by dieters. In my experience, this in fact sounds a little bit different but this makes ALL
difference. This is what real dieters ask:
Q: Can low carb dieters eat all they want, and still lose weight as long as they only eat allowed foods?
A: Yes, they can. The basis of ketogenic diets, such as
Atkins Diet, is a restriction of carbohydrate-containing foods in favor of fat and protein containing foods, which causes
state of ketosis resulting in significant decrease in appetite. Since appetite decreases, most of low carb dieters consume significantly less calories WITHOUT INTENTIONAL CALORIE RESTRICTION.
Let's see why and how it happens
Ketosis is a biochemical condition that occurs when
body produces ketones at a higher rate than glucose's release into
blood.
