New breath analyzer knows if you're burning fat

I noticed an article on a new breath analyser which can help determine if you’re burning fat. I couldn’t help feel the researchers were missing an important aspect in their testing of the device which leads to one of two conclusions. Either the device is not sensitive enough and thus not as useful as it could be, or that researchers did not test an important fourth group of test subjects.

The groups that were tested were: no change to diet and exercise, light exercise for 30-60 minutes a day, light exercise for 30-60 minutes a day and restrict calorific intake (dieting). The missing group is those who dieted and didn’t exercise.

A while ago I worked out the maths behind weight loss and as a result lost 22kg without any additional exercise. If the breath analyser cannot pick up the burning of fat through dieting alone it would indicate it isn’t sufficiently sensitive. The fourth group should have been an obvious group to include in the test.

The good outcome however is people can see that if they do nothing then obviously they won’t lose weight. With light exercise alone they may not lose weight either. From what I’ve seen when overweight people look at joining a gym, they are usually sold on losing weight and that won’t necessarily happen.

Once you understand the maths behind weight loss it becomes clear what is needed to lose weight and where to put your efforts.
