Frequently asked questions
What is FatTonic?
FatTonic is a science-based platform for optimizing your body's fat-burning system by lowering insulin. It combines a free Metabolic Score, a Food Index that rates foods on how much they help or hurt fat-burning, and a science library.
How do I lower insulin to burn fat?
Spend more of the day with low insulin: cut liquid sugar, lead meals with protein and fiber, walk after eating, sleep well, build muscle, and choose low-glycemic-load foods. FatTonic scores every food so you can do this without guessing.
Is the FatTonic Score medical advice?
No. The FatTonic Score is an educational rating built from glycemic load, sugar, fiber, protein and processing level. It is not a clinical measure or medical advice.
