Sceptics also say that fat-burning strips
place unnecessary emphasis on ketones because the fundamental message
remains what it has always been: take in fewer calories than you use up
each day, and you will lose weight. According to this view, fat-burning
strips are simply another weight-loss gimmick.
Ketone production occurs in the absence of carbohydrates. A diet high
in protein and low in starch, such as the Atkins diet, would force the
body to use up fat as an energy source. But without carbohydrates, fat
cannot be completely metabolised.
The Atkins diet is popular, as is the Atkins
style of eating - a diet low in starch and high in protein. However, most
dietitians and weight loss experts still consider that a diet void of
carbohydrates is not necessarily healthy. Lean protein with fruits and
vegetables to substitute starchy carbohydrates is ideal.

Weight Loss & Weight Management
An increase in physical activity is an important part of your weight loss
program. Physical activity improves your muscle/fat ratio - thus raising
metabolism for easier weight loss - and boosts your motivation to maintain
the weight you lose.
