New Research on the Genetic Factors That Influence the Degree of Success of Carbohydrate-Restricted Diets

Yesterday a new research paper called Physiogenomic analysis of weight loss induced by dietary carbohydrate restriction was published.

The conclusion of the research was that, "A strong association between weight loss induced by dietary CHO restriction and variability in genes regulating fat digestion, hepatic glucose metabolism, intravascular lipoprotein remodeling, and appetite were detected."

In layman words, some people may be more successful than others in weight loss through carbohydrate restriction due to their genetic makeup, according to the paper.

All animals are equal, but some animals are more equal than others.
