Why do I gain weight eating the same as my thin friend?
Eileen and Mary
Same diet. After 12 weeks,
Mary lost 15 lbs.
Eileen gained 5 lbs.
Very different results.
Appetite control
On the surface, Eileen's appetite is not dramatically different from Mary's, so eating similarly would have been a good idea.
Fullness signal
Her plan helps her eating line up better with her signal speed, reducing trips back for seconds.
Saturated fat handling
Her plan recommends specific food substitutions and smarter portions.
Blood sugar between meals
Her plan steadies her blood sugar between meals by recommending changes in meal composition, pacing and physical activity.
The food clock
Her plan fits her meals to her body clock: when her first and last bites fall, and which meal is the biggest.
Although Mary and Eileen seemingly have similar appetites, Eileen should not eat the same foods, at the same speed, or at the same times as Mary.
Her body is built differently, so copying Mary's habits is not the best strategy for her overall well-being.

Your report is built from your own DNA. You can give it to us two ways: with a blood test, or with a DNA file from somewhere else.
Blood test. Add our DNA Blood Test to your order. It is one simple blood draw. $149.
A file from somewhere else. Already took a test with 23andMe, AncestryDNA, MyHeritage, FamilyTreeDNA or another company? Send us that DNA file after you check out, and we will show you where to find it. Upload service: $0.

Sign in to the company that did your test and look for a setting called "Download raw data" or "Download your DNA data". Step by step guides for 23andMe, AncestryDNA, MyHeritage, FamilyTreeDNA and LivingDNA: see all the steps. You do not need the file today. You can send it after you check out.
How we handle your data. We never sell your DNA. Our policy is not to share your genetic data with outside parties; if we ever receive a legally valid request we are required to answer, we follow the law and keep disclosure to a minimum. We use encryption, access controls, audit logging and vendor agreements that restrict how data can be used, and only authorized people can reach the systems that build your reports. Research use is optional and only if you opt in. You can ask us to delete your file, your reports and your account information at any time, and we do it within 30 days.
