One thing is, Dr. Atkins diet disregards the ketogenic properties of foods. Dieters are being encourage to watch only carbohydrate grams.
Meanwhile, to be a ketogenic food, it should meet a certain criterion called ketogenic ratio (we named it Fat Burning Index � because this is what it's all about) which depends on not only carb grams but also on the exact proportion between carb, fat, and protein constituents on a feed or meal.
The Fat Burning Index of a food is the only thing in the world that can predict whether or not the body will allow to burn its own fat after consuming this food. Here comes the true Negative Calorie Balance: you eat a food that results in less calories stored in your fat depots! To burn body's fat, a food should have Fat Burning Index � above 1.5
