The Reaction of an Obese Patient to a Diet can now be Predicted

A recent research conducted at the University of Navarra states that the reaction of an obese patient can now be predicted.

The researchers of the mentioned study have found out that the presence of increased body fats is associated with the increased levels of inflammatory substances in the blood and therefore causing problems in weight loss and maintaining the ideal body weight.

Actually, researchers have found out that some overweight individuals have altered genes, which is why they are having difficulties in losing weight, despite their efforts. However, these genes are also the reason why these obese patients can easily gain weight immediately.  This effect goes the same for the inflammatory substances in the blood. Thus, an obese person would generally have difficulties in weight loss because of their mutated genes and the inflammatory substances in their body.

In addition, these mutated genes and substances in the blood will also predispose a person not only to obesity, but also to other complications such as diabetes, increased blood cholesterol levels; thus, increasing the the risk for cardiovascular diseases.

Thus, these genetic predispositions and presence of inflammatory substances are the determining factors whether the diet will be effective on an obese patient or not.
