Fast Ways to Lose Weight – Based on DNA
Posted by admin under Diet & Weight Loss
Everyone is interested in learning about fast ways to lose weight. In an article listed yesterday on ThePittsburghChannel.com, experts report that DNA may play a big part in weight loss and dieting strategy. What will work for you? A low carb diet plan, weight loss pills, a fat burning diet? What is the best way to lose weight based on your genetic makeup? The story:
BOSTON – Many dieters said they’ve tried everything and just can’t find a diet that works. Now, a Boston-area company may be able to help. They’ve come up with a DNA test to help you figure out which diet will work for your body.
“I’ve always been on diets my whole life,” said dieter Amy Katsis. Katsis said she’s finally figured out how to lose the weight and keep it off. “My goal weight was around 150, and I ended up at 138,” she said. She first took a new genetic test developed by Interleukin Genetics of Waltham, Mass. She sent in a swab of her cheek and received a diet and exercise advice based on her own DNA. “I know that I need to be on the reduced carb diet, and I know that I need to work out, as well,” Katsis said.
She admittedly doesn’t understand the science behind the test, but Ken Kornman does. He’s the president of the company behind the test. “This is well-documented genetic information that says individuals absorb more fat because of their genes, burn carbohydrates differently and respond to exercise different,” he said.
The test pulls out which version of DNA you have, and a diet and exercise plan is designed to fit your genetic makeup. Katsis said knowing that she need to stay away from carbs and do more exercise helped her stay on track and keep the weight off for more than one year. “This is what works for me,” she said.

I never wanted to think too much about what I eat, and I don’t care for exercise, but when I gained weight after child #1 and had lower energy levels, despite exclusive nursing, I bought this book for #2. Boy, am I glad I did! With easily liveable tweaks to my normal eating habits, I have been losing weight at a healthy rate of about a pound a week, and I feel better. I have two ways to know my supply isn’t compromised: my son is staying at the top of the growth charts, and my daily pumping (in preparation for returning to work) yields a lot.
First, details about the different vitamins and minerals (what they do, where to find them, how much you need) are presented. Then, foods are grouped according to similar nutritional content, and we’re told how to eat the right proportions of the groups for our body weights. I learned that just eating healthy foods isn’t enough – I have to eat the right amounts of the different foods. For example, fruit is healthy, but if I eat lots of fruits and not enough grains, my body won’t get what it needs and I’ll still feel hungry and tired. There’s a lot more great stuff, too. I only wish this book were updated to reflect current understandings of fats, and included the detail that you can shortchange your daily caloric intake by up to 500 calories/day below your current weight level without triggering your body’s hunger reflexes, so you shouldn’t try to eat too little.
