If obesity is a genetic disease (researchers found an "obesity gene" in 1994), then the external factors that trigger those genes are crucial to keeping weight at healthy levels. This means that those with the obesity gene can keep them from being activated by eating right and exercising well. Drawing on research from the Human Genome Project, the nutritionist authors help readers identify their own particular genetic programing, or phenotype (addictitve, blood pressure, cardiovascular, diabetic, emotional, or hormonal) and provides eating plans tailored to each one. Although the book is heavy on scientific explanations, its recipes and healthy food lists are good, and it includes an outstanding portion-control system. Copyright 2005 Reed Business Information.
