Weight Loss Resistance
When it comes to weight loss and weight loss resistance, we take a whole-body approach.
We not only analyse your diet and movement, but we also consider your hormones, stress levels, digestive health, sleep quality, and genetics.
As an example, let’s explore one of these drivers a little deeper: Genetics.
Some of us are genetically more prone to weight gain, while others have a genetic advantage when it comes to weight loss. If you consider that each of us has a different genetic make-up, you can understand why a particular “diet” may result in weight loss for one person, while causing another to actually gain weight.
When we test your genes we are looking at their impact on your ability to lose weight.
Your genes influence:
How much dietary fat your body can tolerate
How much dietary fat your body absorbs from food
How effectively you can burn body fat
The best type of exercise to burn body fat
How prone you are to rebound weight gain
Your carbohydrate tolerance
Your detoxification ability.
As well as this, your genetics affect your appetite and satiety. Some of us are genetically more prone to overeating, more inclined to want high fat/high carbohydrate food, or not feel full or satisfied, even after a big meal.
