LOSING WEIGHT

Losing weight successfully is a challenge for many people. A healthy diet and sufficient exercise play an important role in achieving or maintaining a healthy body weight. Less well known is that predisposition also plays an important role. Our genes determine the tendency to store energy, the extent to which we experience a feeling of hunger, whether we gain weight quickly after weight loss due to the yo-yo effect and whether we are able to digest carbohydrates efficiently or burn fats.
