LOW CARB DIET

  Obesity, considered when the body mass index (BMI) is above 30 kg/m², may be associated with the consumption of large quantities of high-calorie foods and little daily energy expenditure. Various types of diets are used to solve this problem, such as the low carb diet, which stands out for its low carbohydrate intake. This diet reduces the amount of carbohydrates ingested, which averages 50% to 55% in a conventional diet, to 45% or less of the daily diet, and has been shown to be effective for weight loss and reducing other body índices in short term.

    The gene called FTO, located on chromosome 16, participates in the regulation of appetite and acts in the balance between food intake and energy expenditure. Therefore, it is associated with the risk of obesity. Studies have shown that even consuming a diet low carb, people who have the A allele in the rs9939609 polymorphism in this gene are predisposed to a high BMI. Who has one copy of the rs9939609-A allele and is predisposed to high BMI when consuming a low-carbohydrate diet.
