I wouldn’t worry about customized nutritional dietary plans tailored to your own genome for atleast 15 years. still too many genes with unknown functions to uncover.
I wonder…what would insurance companies do with such information? could you get insured if anazlyzing your genes revealed that you would develop heart disease later on in life or had a mutation that would lead to cancer? kinda scary!

Paunchiness: Low Carb diet may help reach your weight goals, but Nutrigenomics is more than just weight management. There is more to health and nutrition than just weight.

Lee: Exactly my thoughts, too. One might not be able to stick to it 100% but knowing the goals or ideals will already help, I’m sure.

This sorta reminds me of the blood type diet. I’d be willing to give it a shot. I’d never be able to remain completely faithful to it if my profile said I could never eat beef again, but I’d certainly remain conscious of my optimum food choices.

I’ve found in my dieting that low carb works best for me. I can shed pounds pretty quickly when using this kind of diet. I didn’t go through any sort of genetic profiling but it works for me.
