Book Description

June 9, 2009
The Gene Smart Diet is going to challenge all that you know about the relationship between genetics, weight gain, and disease risk. In the process, it's going to change your health and your life, for the better.
True, your genes help determine how much you weigh, whether you're prone to certain diseases, even whether you live to a ripe old age. But your genes are not an indelible blueprint-far from it! You help decide which genes express themselves and in what way, largely by what you're putting on your plate.
The Gene Smart Diet emphasizes the foods that your genes recognize and love. In the right mix and portions, these foods and their component nutrients communicate with your genes over complex genetic pathways, setting the course for lasting weight loss and optimum health.
Each day of the 5-week plan features a complete menu, with every meal and snack developed to Gene Smart guidelines. Rest assured, it isn't your typical diet food. On Gene Smart, you'll feel full and satisfied. You won't believe that you can eat like this and still lose weight.
But losing weight is just the beginning of what The Gene Smart Diet can do for you. By improving key biomarkers, it produces real reductions in your likelihood of developing certain chronic diseases-including those commonly attributed to aging. in fact, eating the Gene Smart way can help slow the aging process itself.
Grounded in cutting-edge science, proven to produce results, The Gene Smart Diet is the solution you've been waiting for-and the last diet you'll ever need.

5.0 out of 5 stars The last "diet/health" guidance book you'll ever need to buy, August 12, 2009
This review is from: The Gene Smart Diet: The Revolutionary Eating Plan That Will Rewrite Your Genetic Destiny--And Melt Away the Pounds (Hardcover)
Gene Smart is so much more than a diet book. It's scientifically based nutritional guidance on the key nutrients your body needs to avoid disease and stay healthy so you can enjoy life! Dr. Chilton helps you understand why we crave certain foods, why we overeat, why the USA is getting more and more over weight - and what the solution is to stop the obesity train wreck. By working with our genetic code, we can get healthy and help our kids get healthy before it's too late.

I've never read such specific information on each of the Omega 3s and Omega 6s. I knew that consuming each of the Omega 3 oils was important, (which the book confirms) but I thought all types of Omega 6 needed to be decreased in the diet. The book explains that it's the Omega 6 oil, Linolaic Acid (LA), that we all get too much of. However, the Omega 6 oil, Gamma Linolenic Acid (GLA), is essential to promote health in many ways. Decreasing inflammation is so important and I'm glad that the author shares with us the science to back up why this is true (and he provides practical steps on how you can decrease inflammation through diet and exercise). We've all heard the BUZZ about how polyphenols are anti-aging - now we can see the research and know that it's worth it to start consuming more polyphenols through whole foods and supplementation. His website [...] is also a great resource for health tips, practical dieting advice, recipes and much more. I highly recommend this book!

This review is from: The Gene Smart Diet: The Revolutionary Eating Plan That Will Rewrite Your Genetic Destiny--And Melt Away the Pounds (Hardcover)
Dr. Chilton focuses on why the U.S. is facing an obesity epidemic. Everyone should read this book but particularly Americans b/c we have become addicted to food. With all the wrong food choices at our disposal we will never be healthy. We need to significantly reduce fast food restaurants b/c all they are doing is making people fat. I urge everyone to read the book & you will see why. [...]

5.0 out of 5 stars Gene Smart Diet, December 11, 2009
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: The Gene Smart Diet: The Revolutionary Eating Plan That Will Rewrite Your Genetic Destiny--And Melt Away the Pounds (Hardcover)
For those of us wanting a research-backed health guide, this is it. Dr. Chilton brings in the science behind the nutrition to give a complete guide to fighting inflamation which is behind so many diseases and health issues. Our nation needs to wake up and hear what is being said in the field of nutrigenomics!
