YOU undertaking a strict diet? But that does not work to lose weight? Factor genes may be the answer.

Research shows, the success of losing weight is influenced by your DNA. Some women are genetically programmed to digest better in high-fat diet. While some other people successfully lose weight if they reduce fat and increase carbohydrate intake.

These results proved the researchers from Oxford University and the Medical Research Council, that it is almost impossible to lose weight by the presence of an unusual gene.

In the study, scientists injected an additional copy of the FTO (obesity gene) into the DNA of mice. Offerings they are really physically fit, but differ from their counterparts with increased appetite and excessive weight gain seen.

"This work makes us confident that the FTO is an important gene that contributes to obesity. Too much activity of this gene can lead to weight gain when the owner of overeating," said Professor Frances Ashcroft, head of research, which quoted from Genius Beauty, Wednesday (29/12/2010).

Applies not only in mice, but 14 percent of British people carry two defective copies of the FTO, which increases the risk of obesity by 70 percent, and diabetes by 50 percent.
