Metabolic
Learn your body's production of and sensitivity to the 3 main hormones, adiponectin, leptin and ghrelin, which control the rate of your metabolism, satiety, hunger and food cravings. How your central nervous system impacts lipogenesis, the formation of fat from food, as well as examining the genetic influence on thermogenesis. Finally, find out if your metabolism functions best with intermittent fasting or 3 meals a day. This information will help you prevent and treat weight gain, obesity, diabetes and unstable blood sugar levels
Fats
can affect the production and response to the 3 metabolic hormones leptin, adiponectin and ghrelin. It explains how fats can not only influence weight gain but can alter satiety and food-seeking behaviour. It shows who has a decreased ability to break down stored fat on the body, who increases LDL production and who produces more inflammatory substrates when consuming saturated fats. This section will then provide the exact gram content of recommended saturated fats per day to help prevent high cholesterol and obesity. A table of saturated fat content in foods to help guide better dietary choices will also be provided.
Carbohydrates
Discover how well your body responds to carbohydrates. This section will provide you with the suggested level of carbohydrate consumption, meal frequency and timing to minimize the negative effects of carbohydrates.
