'Obesity gene' does not hinder weight loss
A number of so-called obesity genes have recently been uncovered.Some researchers have associated these genes with an increased difficulty in losing weight; however, a new review of existing data, published in The BMJ, calls this conclusion into question.Although a wealth of obesity-related genes have been described, how much difference do they make?

People who are genetically predisposed to be obese can lose weight just as quickly as those who do not carry the so-called "fat gene", new research has revealed.Published in the British Medical Journal, the findings will offer either a ray of hope to carriers of the gene, or alternatively leave them bang out of excuses, as the study found that such individuals respond equally well to diet, exercise and drug-based weight loss interventions as the rest of the population.Between 40 and 44 per cent of people carry the FTO risk variant, and around 16 per cent have two copies, making it roughly 70 per cent more likely that they will become obese.
