DNA Diet

Any Info, Does it work or Not. Will R3500 be money well spent.

What the fuck is a DNA diet?

Its probably something along the lines of the "blood group diet" they give you certain banned and good foods to eat according to your unique blood type
Some people swear by it, others, think its uproven rubbish, I am... too lazy to research this DNA diet, I like DJ's too much...

I tried to get in touch with the guy who started it a couple of months back but no reply. They pretty much screen for candidate gene markers that play a role in metabolism, get your genotype and make a diet that best fits your genotype. I think there is big money in this but the tests are expensive but should be highly specific

How it works

You sign up for the DNA diet online, pay a fee and receive a DNA diet test kit. The kit has instructions and a sterile swab inside a tube.

Taking the swab is easy (I tested it). You just scrape around inside your cheek, then seal the swab stick back in the tube.

You sign a consent form, fill in a questionnaire and post the tube to the laboratory. Your DNA diet report will be ready in about 14 days .

The report has five parts and the key message is simple: Remember, your genes cannot change, but your diet and lifestyle can.

A summary, like this sample, gives you the results: "Your genetic make-up says you are more likely to follow a Carbsmart diet and a moderate intensity exercise programme compromising 15 met hours (which measure the intensity) of exercise per week. Your exercise potential is as a power athlete."
