Fat is Not your Fate has helped hundreds of our patients and clients synchronize their foods and eating habits with their genes. Consistently, good health and weight loss flowed from their efforts. One patient, a cardiologist who had just been diagnosed with type 2 diabetes, came to us because she was not getting results from the high-carbohydrate, heart-healthy diet recommended at the time. Whenever she ate a plateful of pasta, her blood sugar rocketed. A glucose receptor problem related to her genes and extra weight barricaded her cells against blood sugar. Glucose accumulated in her bloodstream. We knew she needed a diet personalized to her genetic risk for diabetes, not the general recommendation. A lower total carb diet, combined with high-fiber carbohydrates and protein, worked better. When we customized her diet, she lost weight and kept it off.

Dr. Mitchell and co-author Dr. Christie

In another example, an overweight and hypertensive police officer couldn't meet his department's rigorous fitness requirements. With his excess weight and high blood pressure, this client was a heart attack waiting to happen as he rolled through the city on his motorcycle. He needed a personalized diet to tame his sodium-sensitive genes into directing the hormones that control blood pressure more effectively. We loaded his cycle saddlebags with dried fruit and restricted his trips to sodium-loaded fast food joints. He lost weight and decreased his blood pressure.

The secret to both these patients' successes wasn't the diet trend of the week. It was in their genes.
