Have you ever tried a diet that didn\u2019t work?

Us too.

In fact, the average person tries 126 fad diets<\/a> in their lifetime. While many of these diets show results at first, they don’t work in the long-term<\/a>. If our own experience isn’t enough, study<\/a> after study<\/a> shows that even when a diet is initially effective, the benefits almost entirely disappear within a year.

Does this mean we’re that<\/em> bad at following diets? Are we all<\/em> that out of control?

Not at all.

Just because a diet didn\u2019t work for you doesn\u2019t mean you’ve failed. It just wasn’t right for your body. No diet is one-size-fits-all. An eating plan that works for your friend won\u2019t necessarily work for you. Plus, fad diets are also rarely sustainable.

Rather than wasting your time trying diets that are destined to fail, you can learn the specific foods your body needs (and what it doesn’t!) by understanding your<\/em> DNA<\/a>. Here’s how…<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

What Makes DNA Diets Different From Other Diets?<\/strong><\/h3>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

The key to effective dieting is focusing on the individual. In a DNA-based diet, you eliminate the eating plans that don\u2019t work best with your genetic structure.

Maybe intermittent fasting is the perfect option for how your body metabolizes food. Maybe not. Perhaps the way your body processes protein makes a Keto diet a great option for managing weight. Or, it could wreak havoc on your system.

It\u2019s all in the genes.

Genetic information also tells us what vitamins and nutrients your body is absorbing well and what it lacks. Then, you can choose specific supplements that address your body’s needs based on the latest scientific information linked to your DNA.

Making healthy lifestyle choices can feel overwhelming. We have instant access to a vast amount of information about different diets, nutrition approaches, and exercise options right at our fingertips. Sifting through endless blog articles, health magazines, and Facebook posts to learn which foods and supplements work best for you can be exhausting and inconclusive.

DNA takes out the guesswork.

By looking at your genes, we simplify your options. We identify the diet, exercise, and supplements that will work best for you.

Keep in mind, DNA diets don\u2019t undermine good dietary practices. Everyone still needs to eat their greens. But in a diet based on DNA, we<\/a> tell you which<\/em> greens to eat. Everyone still needs vitmains and nutrients \u2014 we tell you<\/a> which<\/em> vitamins ans nutrients are best for your body.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Why Don\u2019t One-Size-Fits-All Diets Work?<\/strong><\/h3>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Everyone\u2019s genetics are different. One size never fits all \u2014 especially not diets.

After all, we\u2019ve lived it. We have family members and friends who don\u2019t feel good after they eat certain foods. Some people eat beef and feel sluggish. Others struggle when they have milk products.

The same is true with dieting. Intermittent fasting wouldn\u2019t work for everyone \u2014 and we can see that in your DNA. It might help one person radically and not help you at all. The same is true with Keto, Paleo, Vegan, Atkins, or any other extreme diet. If you want a great weight management option to jumpstart your results, you need to support your metabolism and DNA specifically. And the only way to know what you need is to understand your DNA.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

How DNA Diets Work<\/strong><\/h3>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

When we analyze your DNA results, we look at specific genes that tell us about managing weight.<\/p>\r\n
