Ever since researchers found the FTO gene variant associated with obesity, overweight people were dismissed with a futile wave – “You have the fat gene.” Many struggling, overweight dieters simply gave up, resigning themselves to an unfit lifestyle. Others kept up their workout routines, determined to do something, while another set of people battled their obesity with obsessive exercise and a healthy diet, on a mission to prove researchers wrong. Hopefully, more and more people will continue the approach of the latter groups, because further examination reveals that hope is not lost.
Just as with the vast majority of traits, genes do not solely influence a person’s physical development. Genes certainly play a vital and essential rule, but they do not determine everything. A person’s environment and lifestyle choices influence the way the genes are expressed, right alongside biological and chemical factors. In the new research, a team examined people with the FTO variant who were not obese. They found that leading an active lifestyle can counter the effects of the FTO gene, allowing people who get about three to four hours of moderate exercise to stay in shape.
Three to four hours seems insane, but it’s actually feasible when you plan out your day accordingly. Breaking your exercise into small chunks – walking a couple of extra blocks to the store instead of driving, taking a walk after dinner, working out on the stairs at lunch - can help, as can organized sports and activities such as a soccer league or swim club. If you have a treadmill in your home, you can walk as you watch TV each night or plan an intense interval workout that you can do regularly. Even things as simple as gardening and house cleaning count as moderate activity. In fact, this is how the Amish population stays so fit – when the researchers examined Amish people with the FTO variant, they found no difference in obesity rates between this group and people without the variant. With our national lifestyle growing increasingly sedentary each year, it’s time we act out and prevent the spread of the obesity epidemic. Next time you hear someone complaining, “I’ll always be fat; it’s in my genes,” set them straight with these facts!

Phenotype vs Genotype
Ashley Mayer BSc, CSCS
Awesome guys!! Your phenotype (the physical characteristics that you see in the mirror), is determined by your genotype (our genes) interacting with your ENVIRONMENT. So, just becasue you have a particular gene, it does not mean you will express it. It will ultimately depend on how well you take care of your body in your environment!! Have a great one!! Nice article!!
