Recreational genetics
If you want to lose weight, the outcome depends on your energy intake (diet) and the physical activity you do during the day. But besides factors such as age, weight, sex, state of health and previous diets, your genes also have a major influence — roughly 50 %.
Choose the diet and exercise that best match your genetic predispositions.
Knowing which innate predispositions you have — and how to make use of them, or offset them, through the right diet and suitable exercise — can therefore help considerably with losing weight.
Genoskop® Linie is a test focused on nine carefully selected genetic predispositions that affect your ability to maintain, reduce or indeed increase your weight.
Based on the results of the Genoskop® Linie test you can choose the diet and exercise that best match your genetic predispositions, and which should therefore feel most natural to you. These predispositions differ from person to person — one person may need to cut total fat intake to lose weight, while for another it is enough to swap butter for vegetable oils and a good margarine.
It may also turn out that one person's overall need for carbohydrates is higher, so the source of them has to be chosen carefully, while another cuts down on vegetables because of a heightened sensitivity to bitter tastes. Genetically, some people are best suited to endurance sports such as long-distance running or swimming, others to speed and strength sports such as volleyball or tennis, and others still to a combination of endurance and strength, such as mountain biking, rowing or climbing.
