Do you choose how you look from what you eat?

 

Genetic factors as well as what we eat, make us look the way we do. The kind of diet we prefer, how much we eat and exercise influences our body shape.   

Researchers have divided human eating patterns into two distinct groups: low fat and high fat. The amount of fat a person consumes is the strongest predictor of weight gain but it does not predict that the person will be obese. In other words, it is not a simple equation that decides that the more fat we eat equals the more fat laid down in our bodies. 

In a study of young men who ate either low or high fat diets, there were differences in appetite, basal metabolic rate, heart rate and how quickly the body digested fat and starch. So weight depends to a certain degree on what we choose to eat but there is more complexity involved.   

Healthy weight loss still involves eating a balanced diet so seek professional assistance if you need to develop a new eating plan.
