Your genetic makeup could be why you don’t lose weight.

New research from Harvard Th Chan and Ben Gurion University of Israel found that a third of people who followed a healthy diet did not lose weight, although they still experienced health benefits.

The participants showed “significant improvements” in cardio-metabolic markers, including improved cholesterol, lower levels of the Hormone of Human Leptina and less visceral fats, which is “inside” of the abdominal cavity, according to a statement.

The study, published in the European Preventive Cardiology Magazine, analyzed the changes in weight and health for 761 individuals in Israel who had abdominal obesity.

For three trials, participants were assigned to specific healthy diets, such as fat low, carbohydrates, Mediterranean and green Mediterranean, 18 to 24 months.

In all clinical trials, 36% of participants achieved a “clinically significant” weight loss, while 36% achieved a moderate weight loss. Another 28% did not lose weight or even gained weight.

Those who were resistant to weight loss, mostly individuals and women, showed the same health improvements as participants who lost weight.

“We have been conditioned to equate weight loss with health, and weight loss -resistant individuals are often labeled as failures,” wrote the author of the main study Yaskolka Meir, postdoctoral researcher at the Harvard Chan School Epidemiology Department, in a statement.

“Our findings refine how we define clinical success. People who do not lose weight can improve their metabolism and reduce the risk of long -term disease. It is a message of hope, not a failure.”

The study, funded by the German Research Foundation Foundation, had some limitations.

Most of the participants were men, said researchers, adding that similar studies should focus on women in the future.

“People who do not lose weight can improve their metabolism and reduce the risk of long -term disease.”

Dr. Philip Rabito, an endocrinologist and weight loss specialist in New York City, told Fox News Digital in an interview that the study’s results support what he has experienced in his own practice.

“There are probably genetic factors that affect the ability of an individual to lower weight,” said the doctor, who was not involved in the study. “He simply stated, despite similar efforts, caloric restrictions and lifestyle interventions, some patients lose more weight than others.”

Some people will not respond “as robust” to the interventions as others, although this can be overcome by correct orientation, according to Rabito.

“With the appropriate advice, dedication and adherence to a life program, all patients should be able to appreciate weight loss,” he said.

“With the appropriate advice, education and structure in a comprehensive weight loss program, all patients can achieve significant results,” said a doctor. (Istock)

“Even if there is minimal or null loss, the study shows that there are still improvements in health parameters only to participate in a weight loss program.”

For those who do not lose weight with traditional weight loss programs, recipe drugs can be an option, he added.

MANOEL GALVAO NETO, MD, director of Bariatric Research at the Orlando Institute for weight loss and bariatric surgery, agreed that DNA can influence weight loss.

“It is a true combination of genetic factors and affects metabolism, appetite, fat storage and response to diet and exercise,” he said in a separate interview with Fox News Digital.

From emerging research, Neto said that obesity treatment can be more easily customized, allowing those who have genetic mishap to achieve their fitness goals.

“If you have the” Hungarry Brain “score, and take the GPP-1, maximize weight loss up to 20%,” said the doctor.

“Obesity is a chronic disease, it is progressive and, so far, we do not take care, but we are getting more and more information to help -to control it in a personalized way.”

Neto encouraged people who seek to lose weight to “understand” and seek professional help to get the best possible result.
