Gene responsible for high calorie food craving

Posted by Erika Szabo ND on December 14, 2008 at 7:02 AM

Interesting fact how each of us prefer different kind of foods. Some of us eat large amount of low calorie food, others small amount of high calorie food in order to maintain body weight.

Weight gain occur usually when the second group starts consuming larger and larger amount of the high calorie food and doing less and less physical activity to burn it.

 

The preference of high calorie food can be explained genetically, researchers discovered the gene responsible for craving of high calorie foods. People who have this gene are not satisfied or dislike the low calorie foods. It won?t cause any problem until the amount is under control and they physically active enough to burn the extra calories.

 

Our lifestyle differs from our ancestors; today we don?t really do hard labor in our everyday life such as hauling water from the stream, washing and hanging clothes by hand, cutting trees and splitting logs to heat the house, feeding animals or work in the fields and so on. Most everyday physical work is done by machines. We don?t need the high calorie food to keep us going, it stores in fat on our body.

 

There is no chance yet to turn off the gene but we can learn how to replace the craved high calorie foods and still be satisfied.
