The Benefits of Genetic Dieting for Obesity

 

One question that bothers everyone is - some people can eat anything but never gain weight but others put on weight too quickly - why is that?

The answer lies in your genetics.

How your genes impact your ability to lose weight

Obesity is when the body accumulates excess body fat. Sedentary lifestyle, improper dietary habits and environment play a big role in increasing the risk of obesity. Having a high genetic risk for obesity can increase your risk of excess weight gain. Genetics contribute to more than 40% causes of obesity. 

 

Obese people have obesity have multiple gene mutations that increase their likelihood to gain excessive weight. Genes associated with fat mass and obesity can make limiting caloric intake difficult. The presence of these genes can also:

• Reduce satiety 

• Increase hunger 

• Increase intake of calories

• Reduce control over food consumption

• Tendency to be sedentary

• Tendency to store fat in body

What is a genetic diet and how does it help in losing weight

If you have the genes that predispose you to gaining weight, you can manage your weight issues with a personalized diet. This personalized diet is derived from your own genetics that is why it is also referred to as a genetic diet. A genetic test can report everything about you and the nutrition you need. Your genetics influence how your body responds to the macro and micronutrients. Their absorption, metabolism and distribution depends on your genetic build. These are reported in your test and tell you how you can enhance your metabolism by following a consistent diet plan that includes effective foods, exercise, and other behavioral approaches that can help you prevent or manage obesity.
