Genetic polymorphisms (SNPs) significantly influence individual variability in fat loss efficiency in response to both dietary interventions and exercise regimens.
If you are struggling with fat loss despite consistent diet and exercise, consider that your genetic profile may influence your efficiency. While you cannot change your DNA, understanding your response patterns (e.g., better response to high-protein vs. low-fat diets) can help tailor your approach for better adherence and results.
This systematic review aimed at identifying the genetic markers associated with fat loss resulting from diet or exercise... Overall, we identified 30 genetic markers of fat-loss efficiency in response to different kinds of diets and 24 in response to exercise.
Why this rating
Based on a systematic review of 47 studies with varying quality, identifying specific SNPs.
