About Banta Daily Plans
Some people just cant start losing weight without this phase. One of
our successful
dieters wrote:
"I
am so thrilled! I can't believe this is happening! I realize now, that
I have never had this kind of success on another diet and I am very
motivated to continue." -- Dawn (lost 11 pounds in 1 week)
The
Banta diet plan is based on the fact that different food components
influence your metabolism very differently. This approach is in
clinical use since 1920s but only recently it became dieter-friendly.
Here's what it's all about.
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 recipes
and meal plans that will help you lose fat without watching
portions or counting calories, carbs, or fat.
Now we suggest that you go to the post Days
1 to 7 or right to the Day 1 plan. Remember: the first week on Banta
Diet allows your body to jump-start the process of switching from using
carbohydrates for fuel to burning the fat for
energy. The idea behind is pretty much the same as the famous Fat Fast.
Remember that these 7 days are
completely different from the rest of Banta Diet
Starting the Day 8, you'll stop
counting
calories, carbs, or control portions. However, what plan will
suit
you best, will depends on your WEEK 1 results. Because of
that, we'll ask you to tell us how were you doing during your days 1 to
7, then we'll subscribe you to start your individualized days 8
to 14 program and so on, until your day 30 is over.
Footnotes
Picture description
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.
