Breakthrough genetic research indicates that genes are not
just onoff switches for characteristics we can’t control like
gender or eye color. Some genes, including those that shape our
bodies, actually adapt to outside influences. In Turn Off the
Fat Genes, Dr. Neal Barnard draws on this cutting-edge research
to create a revolutionary new program to help your body sculpt away
excess pounds by activating thin genes and suppressing fat ones.
The heart of Dr. Barnard’s book is a three-week gene-control
program specifically designed to help you identify your gene types
by asking questions like:
What’s your genetic taste type?
Do you strongly dislike Brussels sprouts? Are some desserts too
sweet to eat?
Is black coffee undrinkable?
If you answered yes to all three questions you’re a genetic bitter
“taster” or
“supertaster” as opposed to a “nontaster”. On page 24 you’ll find
out how to work with your genetic taste type.
Is your appetite becoming harder to control?
Have diets made your appetite unpredictable? If so, your
hunger-suppressing leptin gene might need a tune-up. See page
59.
Do you gain weight more easily than your friends?
Do you have difficulty losing weight no matter what you do? If so,
the genes that set your metabolism might need a boost. See page
71.
Do you hate exercise?
If so, your genes may have overloaded you with sluggish Type II
muscle cells. Learn how to change them on page 100.
Once we understand how the genes that control shape can be
influenced, we can enjoy virtually the same effortless weight
control as naturally thin people and reveal the healthy, vital body
that nature intended us to have.
