Fat Burning Index is a tool that allows scientists to define potential influences of foods on lipolysis - the process of "burning" body fat for fuel. The higher the Index, the more fat your body will burn. To lose more body fat, you should eat foods with high Fat Burning Index.
Fat Burning Index concept was developed by Dr. Zilberter. It is based on a scientific formula that takes into account the food's carbohydrate, fat and protein content.
Banta Diet uses Fat Burning Index to create delicious recipes and meal plans that will help you lose fat without watching portions or counting calories, carbs, or fat.
To learn about Fat Burning Index in more detail, or to share this information with your physician, email Dr. Zilberter.
Fat Burning Rate increases as Fat Burning Index increases.
Fat Burning Rate: number of fat milligrams burnt by 1 kg of body fat in 1 minute
Fat Burning Index: shows how many times amount of fat in a food or meal exceeds the amount of protein and carbohydrate combined
Diets were same in calories and protein but different in fat and carbs. High-fat low carb diet had high Fat
Burning Index and Low-fat high-carb diet had low Fat Burning Index.
