WHAT IS DNA DIET ??? IS IT USEFUL????

We all want to maintain our weight and look great. For most of us ,Dieting is often an endless cycle of losing weight and gaining it all back. We all know that Thousands of diets exist, but how do you know which one is best for you? The process normally adopted by most of the dietitians is Hit and trial. But the exact answer may lie in your DNA.

So why this idea of DNA diet came into existence??The idea of the DNA diet is rooted in the scientifically proven reality that dieting simply doesn't work for many people. According to studies, 95% of people will gain back the weight they lose within a few years, and 41% of those who attempt dieting will eventually gain back more weight than they lost.

A now famous study conducted at Stanford University looked at the long-term effects of weight loss using a few different diets assigned at random. Results showed that some participants lost weight on one type of diet, such as low-fat, while others did not. The study then tested participants' DNA for 3 specific gene variations and found that those using the best diet for their DNA lost as much as 2 1/2 times more weight than those not using their best DNA diet. so this study clearly points towards the importance of DNA makeup in our Weight Management procedure.

"This genetic testing is a brand new field, nutrigenomics, the link between genes and nutrition," says David Katz, MD, nutrition expert and founder of the Yale Prevention Center. "It makes sense because our genes control hormone levels, enzyme levels - all the basic levels of metabolism. And how we metabolize food determines what happens to the nutrients and calories we take in."

DNA testing is available and relatively affordable, available with many dieteticians and physicians. For more details you can ask your Health care provider...
