Weight Gain Not Based On What You Eat

Do you want to lose weight? The Step By Step Diet Tips You Must Read!

When we want to loss our weight, we usually cut our food intake or eat some fiber food instead of red meat. This is why we on a diet. We think what we eat can cause weight gain or weight loss. But a different voice from Kaveh Ashrafi, an assistant professor in the department of physiology and the Diabetes Center at the University of California, San Francisco. He think weight gain may not be based just on what you eat but environmental or genetic sources.

Ashrafi and his team find human and worm’s genes similar. Worm 20,000 genes. Hunan 25,000 genes. So they decide to give worm a research.

The researchers were surprised to find that serotonin-directed feeding and fat-burning pathways are, in fact, two separate channels, each operating in a complementary but “molecularly disassociated” fashion.

Also, the worms’ feeding behavior appeared to be dependent on their nervous system’s shifting gauge — both genetically and environmentally triggered — as to how much food was available for consumption. When food was scarce, fat reserves piled up as the worms’ metabolic rate adjusted to conserve energy and save fat for a rainy day.

Finally, Ashrafi and his team concluded that weight gain not based on your calorie intake but genetic and environmental factors. When the environmental factor change, you food intake will change. The food intake cause weight gain or weight loss. Also your genetic is very important for weight loss. This is why somebody always fat, although his try his best to lose their weight; others always thin, although he eat many red meat daily. Before you decide to lose weight, know your genetic is important.
