Get Back Into Your Skinny GENES

Did you know that you have skinny genes? These genes also regulate your biological age. The most detrimental cause of aging is excessive calorie intake. But the calorie restriction theory is only half the story. There is another factor to consider and that is the system that controls your hunger. Your hunger-satiety system in the brain modulates how you use energy. It consists of multiple neuropeptides that initiate or terminate eating habits. These are your hunger-satiety hormones. The balance determines whether you are a fat-burning machine or a fat-storage machine. You don't need any special products to stimulate weight loss. It's simple: eat good protein, get off all glycemic foods such as wheat, rice, flour, baked goods, and fructose beverages. Eat green leafy vegetables, nuts, eggs, and beans. Anti-aging and health starts in the GUT. If you have any bloating after a meal it can lead to excess estrogen, excess cortisol, low testosterone, hypoglycemia, hyperglycemia and increased belly fat. Get back to eating small meals and keep them healthy.
