David Katz and Keri Glassman joins Dr Oz today to Find out whether a low-fat, low-carb or balanced diet can help you lose weight. Discussed today was how diets work and not work for some people and work for others, and how your genetic dispostion could be hindering you from losing weight.
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 ½ times more weight than those not using their best DNA diet.
This genetic testing is called Nutrigenomics, Nutrigenomics is the link between genes and nutrition,” says David Katz. He went to say 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.”
Dr Ken Kornman says this DNA testing is available and costs 149.00. You don't have to take a DNA test to determine your best diet. Keri Glassman says there are “Physical measures; the things you see in the mirror, clinical measures; simple tests you get at a yearly check-up, and also symptomatic measures, ways you’re feeling physically or emotionally.” This Revolutionary science reveals the best diet to fit your personal DNA makeup. Find out whether a low-fat, low-carb or balanced diet can help you lose weight.

“If it was good enough for your parents, it’s good enough for you,” says Dr. Katz. “That’s the real power of nutrigenetics.

The testing gives us a very interesting tool to potentially know what diet works best for you. But we already know the tools that can protect us from so many diseases – heart disease, cancer, diabetes. It’s eating more fruits and vegetable and less processed foods, and regular exercise.”
