Curious if a high-fat, low carb diet is the best for YOU for weight loss? The answer may be in your genes!
Perhaps you’ve seen others having success with high fat diets for weight loss and want to know if it’s right for you. Or, perhaps you’ve already tried a high fat diet and want to know why it didn’t work.
When it comes to eating fat for fat loss, both the amount of fat we eat, and the types of fat we eat can influence our weight and body composition.
A number of different genes are involved in the metabolism of the fats we eat, and we each have a unique set of genetic variations that can change how we respond to different dietary patterns. This may help to explain why the diet that seemed to work so well for your friend, coworker, or neighbor did not seem to be effective when you tried it!
For some people, eating more total energy from fat, or a higher percentage of calories from saturated fats can contribute to weight gain, or an increased waist circumference. For others, the amount of fat, or the percent calories from saturated fat play less of a role.
