If you’re tired of trying diet after diet, but can’t seem to find the one that sticks, the solution might be in your genes!
Protein is an important part of a healthy diet, but for some people protein can also be the key to losing more body fat on their weight loss journey.
The FTO gene can determine if a higher protein diet is the best choice for people wanting to lose weight. In research trials, those with the AA variant of this gene lost significantly more body fat after 2 years while following a higher protein diet, compared to people with the TT or TA variants.
So, for people with the ‘responder’ genotype, consuming a higher percentage of energy from protein actually accelerated their fat loss potential, while for the non-responders, more protein in their diet did not make a difference.
