What is the most effective way to achieve weight loss? Should you focus on reducing your overall calorie intake or lowering your glycemic load? Both approaches have scientific evidence to support them, but which one should you follow? Well, it turns out that both aspects are important.

While most people understand the importance of calories, not everyone realizes that what you do with those calories can have a significant impact on your weight. Calories can either be burned for energy, stored as fat, or used to build lean body mass. The key factor in determining what happens to those calories is the hormonal response in your body, with insulin being the most crucial hormone in this process. Your insulin level is influenced not only by the number of calories you consume but also by the type of calories.

This is why both what and how much you eat are important factors in weight management. The Low-Glycal Diet™ app by BioFit takes into account both the glycemic load and total calorie count to calculate the "glycals" in a meal. This measurement provides a better indicator of how fattening a meal may be.

The concept of "glycals" is derived from a formula developed by Dr. Jeffrey S. Dunham, M.D., Ph.D., M.P.H., who serves as the medical director of BioFit Medical Group and is a graduate of Harvard Medical School. The formula is based on the latest medical research.

The app offers a comprehensive database of over 1000 easily accessible foods categorized as green (low-glycal), yellow (medium-glycal), or red (high-glycal) when consumed individually. Users can assemble meals by selecting individual foods, and the app calculates the total number of glycals in that meal, providing a green, yellow, or red result accordingly.

The number of glycals can vary depending on food combinations. For example, having two fried eggs (a green food) with two slices of cheddar cheese (also a green food) would result in a green meal, but adding two slices of dry whole wheat toast (another green food) would make it a red meal.

The color ranges for green, yellow, and red meals are not fixed and can change based on the time of day. Consuming carbohydrates after 6 PM may have different effects on weight compared to consuming them earlier in the day.

On The Low-Glycal Diet™ by BioFit, users do not have to experience hunger. They can have as many green meals as they want throughout the day, as long as each meal is separated by at least two hours. In addition to the green meals, one yellow meal is allowed each day and one red meal per week.

The Low-Glycal PRO is an enhanced version of the app that provides additional features:

  • Glycal Tracking - Calculates personalized maximum daily glycal ranges based on age, gender, height, weight, and hours of sleep. Graphs daily glycals for visual progress monitoring.
  • Calorie Tracking - Counts and graphs total daily caloric intake.
  • Glycemic Load Tracking - Tabulates and graphs daily glycal load totals. An ideal tool for diabetics.
  • Favorite Meals - Saves frequently consumed complete meals and snacks in a convenient location, saving time.
  • Meal Diary - Creates a record of daily meals for future reference.
  • My Weight - Records and graphs weight loss progress over time.

The Low-Glycal PRO requires a one-time payment of $3.99. The fee will be charged to your iTunes Account upon confirmation of purchase.
