Turning Off The Fat Genes
Summary
Don't let family heritage intimidate you. While genetics play a role in our size, you can influence how they express through a healthy, low-fat diet and regular exercise. By doing so, your genes can work for you, not against you.Rethink Genetic Excuses
"It's all genetic." This common excuse has been proven wrong by genetic research. Although genes affect your size and shape, changing your diet and lifestyle can significantly override these hereditary influences. Genes don’t dictate?"they suggest. You have the power to activate your "thin genes."Flexibility of Genes
Eye and hair color are fixed, but size and shape genes are adaptable. Your body adjusts appetite and calorie burning based on food availability and activity level, unlike eye or hair color which remains static.Key Gene Groups
- Taste Genes: These determine your food cravings. About 25% of people strongly taste bitterness, avoiding certain vegetables. If you're in this group, find ways to make healthy vegetables more palatable. Another 25% are "taste blind," which can lead to overeating. Focus on fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and beans to maintain a balanced diet.
- Leptin and Appetite: A gene on chromosome 7 produces leptin, the hormone that curbs appetite. Severe calorie restrictions can disrupt leptin, making you hungrier. Maintain a balanced diet with at least 10 calories per pound of your ideal weight to keep leptin functioning properly.
- Fat Storage (LPL): A gene on chromosome 8 regulates LPL, an enzyme that stores fat in cells. You can counteract this by choosing low-fat foods like vegetables, fruits, legumes, and whole grains.
- Insulin and Metabolism: Insulin, coded on chromosome 11, enhances metabolism after meals. Choosing low-fat, vegan diets and exercising regularly helps insulin release calories as heat instead of storing them as fat.
- Exercise Aptitude: Some people are genetically inclined to enjoy exercise with more efficient oxgyen delivery and energy use. Even if you lack these advantages, regular exercise can transform your muscle cells to resemble those of natural athletes.
Conclusion
Don’t be daunted by genetics. With a healthy, low-fat diet and regular exercise, you can make your genes work for you instead of against you.You can find the original non-AI version of this article here: Turning Off The Fat Genes.
