For many people, the following unfortunate scenario is painfully familiar: after trying all sorts of "magic" diets , the body does not react as expected and returns all the lost weight, or even climbs on top (the so-called yo-yo effect).
Adherence to a sensible and balanced diet is also not always a guarantee of rapid physical fitness - there are women and men who lose weight very slowly and difficult, despite their perseverance and efforts. Where then is the key to the dream body? Why does a diet work flawlessly for one and turn out to be a completely ineffective solution for another?
The answer in most cases lies not elsewhere, but in our genes . Specifically in a set of genes that affect key metabolic processes in the human body. Thanks to them, we all react differently to the factors we encounter in our daily lives, including diet and exercise, medication, synthetic supplements and more.
Each of us has an individual genetic framework that determines the amount and distribution of micro and macronutrients (vitamins, minerals, fats, carbohydrates, proteins), which would be optimal for his body. Based on the parameters that it determines, it is possible to build a personalized diet that best meets the individual nutritional needs of a particular person.
What are the benefits of a personalized genome-friendly diet?
The personalized regime will help you make the most of your genetic potential, as well as compensate for any omissions and risks associated with the course of metabolic processes in your body. Here are some of the benefits it offers:
1. It shall be drawn up once, as it shall be based on information obtained on the basis of genetic testing, the results of which shall be valid for life.
2. It will meet the individual needs of your body for nutrients, following its requirements regarding the type, amount and ratio of components included in your menu.
3. It will help you determine the influence of key factors related to your lifestyle, including need for sleep, exercise, propensity to become addicted to food and spinning.
4. It will optimize the process of effective weight control, allowing you to escape from the familiar "trial and error" scheme, following universal "recipes" that do not meet the individual needs of your body.
5. It will help you prevent and treat a number of health problems, including obesity, type 2 diabetes, metabolic syndrome and more.
How does it work?
Building a personalized diet begins with the study of key genes responsible for the intake and processing of nutrients. The test is performed using a genetic test, which you can find in Bulgaria.
Its name is NGDiet and is available in partnership with the Danish company DNA Life . It will help you understand the influence of genetic factors in your body that determine 40% to 80% of the difference in body weight. Through it you will receive information about:
- Which eating pattern is most effective for you: low carb, low fat, Mediterranean;
- Your tendency to addiction and overeating, sensitivity to taste;
- Your predisposition to weight gain and insulin resistance;
- The minimum physical activity you need to start melting fat;
- Lactose and gluten intolerance;
- Other key factors.
The results of the NGDiet test will come to you in the form of an extensive report , which includes detailed information about the manifestations of each of the studied genes. To read it, you will receive help from a qualified specialist who will "read" the data from him during a personal consultation. The report will provide the necessary and valid for your entire life basis on which to build a personalized and highly effective diet with the help of a nutritionist of your choice .
