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
recipes and meal plans that will help you lose fat without watching
portions or counting calories, carbs, or fat.
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.
