What is KInD™ (Keto Intermittent™ Diet)?
The KInD™ (Keto Intermittent™ Diet) is the Phase I Diet of KInD™ Program. We also call it "fast weight loss phase". It is a type of diet that enables you to lose weight at the expense of fat. However, more and more types of ketogenic diets are now emerging: low-fat, very low-fat, high-fat…
The only one with scientific studies to support its efficacy and safety in weight loss is the low-fat ketogenic diet combined with physical activity and nutritional supervision, such as the one used in the KInD™ methods.
The KInD™ induces morning ketosis when people are in low glycogen state after overnight fasting and maintain a low-fat moderate-protein diet for the rest of the day. This diet will make sure that our clients lose fat, not muscle.
What is ketosis?
The Keto Intermittent™ (KInD™) Diet provides the recommended amount of protein while keeping carbs and fats low. When eating fewer carbohydrates, the body starts using its stored fat for primary energy source instead of burning muscle.
This process is called ketosis and is a type of metabolism that our body carries out naturally when carbohydrate intake is low.
HOW dose KInD™ work?
Unused carbohydrates (e.g., fructose in fruits and syrups) are directly converted into fat. This fat is initially stored in the liver, increasing the risk of non-alcoholic fatty liver. Excess fat in the liver not only enlarges the waist circumference but also reduces the insulin sensitivity of liver cells, thereby increasing the risk of type 2 diabetes.
Insulin can lower blood sugar levels. However, when sensitivity decreases, it's like fat cells wearing gloves that can't feel insulin signals. This situation forces beta cells in the pancreas to secrete more insulin in an effort to make our cells respond to the insulin signal.
Insulin, often referred to as a 'fat-storing hormone,' facilitates the absorption and storage of fat in the body. Elevated average insulin levels can lead to weight gain, even with reduced calorie intake.
Because of the low carbohydrate intake, the body has to use its accumulated fat reserves as fuel. This process, called ketosis, results in the formation of the so-called ketone bodies, which are used as the main source of energy and also produce a psycho-stimulant effect, generating a sense of the well-being and vitality.
Unlike other ketogenic diets, KInD™ reduces the total intake of fats and sugars to maintain normal body functions and enough protein source to keep muscle mass.
Our KInD™ Program has shown that you can lose up to 8 kg of body weight and reduce your waistline by up to 5 cm within one month (based on data from KInD™ Program clients). This type of weight loss is of high quality, making it easier to maintain a healthy weight in the long term.

You can examine your Body Mass Index (BMI) and Waist-to-Hip ratio on this platform.
The BMI enables us to approximate your overall fat mass and determine whether you experience overweight or obesity.
The Waist-to-Hip ratio indicates whether you have central obesity.
The BMI cut-offs for different ethnicities are based on "Lim, J. U. et al. (2017). Comparison of World Health Organization and Asia-Pacific body mass index classifications in COPD patients. International journal of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, 12, 2465–2475. "
