Should you reduce the total number of calories in your diet or lower the total glycemic load? There is scientific evidence to support both approaches, so which one should you follow? Well, it turns out that both are important! Everyone knows that calories are important, but not everyone knows that when you eat those calories you can do three things with them: burn them for energy; store them as fat; or use them to build lean body mass. What you do with those calories is determined by hormones in your body, the most important being insulin. Your insulin level is determined not only by the number of calories you eat, but also by the type of calories you eat. This is why what you eat (glycemic load) is as important as how much you eat (calories)! The Low-Glycal Diet™ app by BioFit uses both glycemic load and calories to calculate the number of “glycals” in a meal, which is a better predictor of how fattening that meal will be. The “glycal” is calculated from a formula developed by Dr. Jeffrey S. Dunham, M.D., Ph.D., M.P.H., medical director of BioFit Medical Group and graduate of Harvard Medical School, and is based on the latest medical research. The total number of glycals in a meal equals the total number of calories in a meal that will be stored as fat. The Low-Glycal Diet™ app by BioFit contains over 1000 easy-to-find foods which are color coded as green (low-glycal), yellow (medium-glycal), or red (high-glycal) if eaten alone. You assemble a meal by choosing the individual foods in that meal. The app then calculates the total number of glycals in that meal and gives you a green, yellow or red result. The number of glycals will change depending on how you pair foods together. For example, eating two fried eggs (a green food) with two slices of cheddar cheese (a green food) will give you a green meal, but eating two fried eggs with two slices of dry whole wheat toast (a green food) will give you a red meal. The ranges of green, yellow and red also change depending on when you have the meal, since eating carbohydrates after 6PM can be more fattening than eating them in earlier in the day. You never have to be hungry on The Low-Glycal Diet™ by BioFit. You can have all the green meals you want in a day, as long as they are separated by two hours. You’re allowed one yellow meal a day and one red meal a week. The fat loss is almost effortless, so start losing fat today!

I live near the Doctors Clinic, so I called for advice, and even offered to pay for a consult but didn’t even get a call back. This leads me to believe that he’s “selling snake oil”. The app says calories don’t matter. Really?! I wanted to believe it and his book sounded logical but it didn’t work. -- Mardibee, 2024-01-13 ### *---- "Wish I never paid for this app" The only thing this app does is aggravate me. Now matter what kind of food combos I put in, it’s red and leaves no reason why. There are no planned meals for suggestions and the info tab does not work. NOT GOOD -- Cashg1rl, 2023-04-08 ### ****- "Needs ability to manually add food items" The app is great, but it’s not really a solution without the ability to manually add items. If I know the calories and GL for a food, I can calculate glycals on my own- but then I can’t enter the meal into the tracker. If I could enter glycals myself- or even better, enter calories and GL and have the app calculate it for me- this app would be an all in one solution for following the diet. As it is, I’m having to keep a notebook, and the “pro” features that I paid for are t much use to me. -- Cboatenreiter, 2022-12-31 ### *---- "Dead App - I purchased it a few years back - received no support." Dead App - I purchased it a few years back - received no support. -- Justin Custard, 2022-09-13 ### *---- "Stopped Working" App has stopped working. When trying to search for or select food, there is an error message. App can not be used if food selection is not available! -- Mari-luVA, 2022-05-24 ### ***** "Excellent diet, and unique excellent app!" Great for pre-diabetics and anyone who needs to control their weight. Always works. -- theconverter, 2021-11-20 ### *---- "Stalled first day" Paid $4. App stuck, don’t waste your time or money. -- $6/(3sgkoesbbxgkk, 2021-09-24 ### ***-- "Potential to be good" The app is helping me learn about food combinations. But, freezes when trying to send a question. Freezes when trying to update weight. Limited food database (no zucchini?). Would be great if I could download four diary to send to doctor. -- cal star gazer, 2021-06-15 ### *---- "Won’t record weight" I just paid $4.97 for upgrade, was really excited about trying this app. The weight tracker won’t work. You can’t send anything to app maker for suggestions and help. The last time this app was upgraded was three years ago. I wish I would have done more research before purchasing this app. What a disappointment. -- Ff queen, 2021-01-03 ### *---- "Terrible" The app is glitchy and doesn’t accurately count calories. I just wasted $4! 😡 -- 10AS210, 2020-03-04 [View all The Low-Glycal Diet reviews and detailed analytics on AppTail](https://app.apptail.io/signup?utm_campaign=ai-crawl&utm_content=reviews) ## The Low-Glycal Diet In-App Purchases | Item | Price | |------|-------| | Low-Glycal PRO | $3.99 | ## The Low-Glycal Diet Discovered Keywords -
