A diet by genotype was developed by the famous American dietician Peter Adamo. Compared with the rest, it is still quite new - at least books in Russian appeared at us about five years ago. Adamo claims that our genes already have a propensity for one or another food and that eating "their" food, a person can easily lose weight.
The nutritionist identified six genetic types, which he called ironically, but quite accurately. For each type, respectively, developed six diets (cm. below). According to the theory of Dr. Adamo, your genotype can be determined even by external characteristics. But nevertheless nutritionists do not recommend to rely on intuition and independently to guess the genotype. Address to experts - they by means of the analysis of DNA precisely define your genetic features.
By the way, recently scientists from Stanford University have tested the theory of Dr. Adamo in practice. In the process of research, one group of patients fed in accordance with their genotype, the other simply limited the calorie content of food. It turned out that the weight of volunteers from the first group went 2.5 times faster (and the result lasted longer) than those who sat on a low-calorie diet.
Nutritionists note that it is not difficult to eat by genotype, and it is not necessary to strictly restrict oneself in favorite delicacies.. But still, this is not a diet for a month, but a way of life destined for man by nature. It's not hard to get used to it, but the result will not take long to wait.
What genotype are you?.

Less: Porridge, barley, oats, rye and other cereals.
COMMENTS OF DIETOLOGISTS Even the physical load should be different - Different genetic types need to choose not only different food, but also the physical load. They are again determined by genes that affect the sensitivity to one or another type of activity. For example, you can train on a bicycle for hours, without losing a gram, but if you switch to a more intense but less time-consuming load - for example, to start twisting the hulaohup with weighting - it's unexpected to discover that you are losing centimeters from the waist and weight , - says to. , nutritionist Julia Bastrigina.
This is the warmth of fraudsters - Indeed, there is a reason for a genotype diet, - says nutritionologist Elena Solomatina. - Even each people has "their own" products, for the digestion of which is "imprisoned" their body, and others are harmful to them. So any person has his own genetic characteristics that determine the food that is more useful for them.
The problem is that precisely guessing your genotype by appearance is almost unrealistic, and applying for such new research to specialists is not a cheap pleasure. This can be used by scammers: they promise you with three boxes, pretend to have a DNA test, and give recommendations that are unlikely to work. Therefore, if there is little money, but you want to lose weight, it is better to apply already proven time and cheaper "in performance" diets.
