[QUOTE="yetta2mymom, post: 1328660, member: 279057"] Hi So I have a "thrifty" gene and people with my gene tend to become fat (overwhelming anecdotal evidence). My gene however is not what the original "thrifty" gene thorists proposed. I use sugar/starch/alcohol more efficiently. With our societies diet I see that it obviously leads to a tendency to become fat. I would guess that I will gain between 5 and 10 pounds a year if I eat the same diet as someone who has the normal sugar metabloism. I do not have a really good guess as to why my gene is not more prevelent although it may be the major way of processing sugar for some isolated populations. I just mentioned that some people have to keep there blood sugar very low or they have an RH reaction and the vacume repair person made that comment. I will read your article. I did not say my gene is a "the" thrifty gene I only implied some people posted that. As I have written my gene does not make you fat it only allows you to process sugar/starch/alchol more efficiently. Judging from my anicdotal evidence (not supported by Google. Is it not reported or what?) the Indian women I see (4 or 5 guess) in my neighborhood all say they get diabetes in pregnancy, they all are chubby. An Indian nurse I conversed with in the dentists office did say "it must be genetic". What is that all about? There has been a history of many famines in India. By the way, what advice? I figured out my present diet about 12 years ago (guess). I will not take a chance on going off it. As I wrote it took 50 years to go on my diet. I am angry at the medical establishment as they insisted that my unbalance diet was unhealthy (why?). With me any grain is dangerous (can't eat 1 potatoe chip) and a similar arguement goes for too much fruit. If I did not want to lose weight I can eat all the nuts I want (why is that?) and all the cheese etc. I want. [/QUOTE]
