I have been using the DNA diet kits for almost 2 years now with great success. Using DNA diet as one of the tools for weight management is beneficial both for me and my client. Most of the weight loss clients have been on many diets before. DNA diet results will provide the client with their personal genetic information with regards to weight management and as a practitioner I also find the test very effective in giving me clear guidelines on the treatment protocol with regards to diet and exercise. I have seen great success in this regard. As a scientist I have spent many years on research and it is therefore essential to me that using a test, screening tools or dietary information in my practice, that it is backed by scientific evidence. This was indeed one of the key factors why I started to use the DNA kits in my practice. The accreditation course and all the information provided is always supported by sound scientific evidence.

I have come down from a six 16 (last year) to a size 10. I am still exercising hard – which the dna diet also helped me with, as I have to exercise at a very high intensity according to my DNA. There are so many benefits to eating correctly according to my dna. I exercise better. I have more energy. And of course just looking at... myself in the mirror is no more a negative experience.

My name is Danielle Hambloch, I am a registered dietitian with the Health Professions Council of South Africa. I am currently doing my masters through the University of Bloemfontein with the focus on Nutrigenomics. I am also accredited with DNALYSIS, and have worked with the genetic testing, specifically the DNA Diet test. I have found the tests to be very useful in my practice, and have had outstanding results with regards to successful weight loss and healthy lifestyle changes. In certain instances, clients have tried numerous diets and have had no success, and through the genetic testing they are not only achieving successful weight loss but are also able to maintain the lifestyle change.

The diet has been working great and I have lost so much weight, and I find the portion sizes work really well.

We have been using the dna diet test since the launch in March 2010. As specialist dieticians it has brought a new meaning to the concept of tailor made eating plans. Results from the gene profile analysis gives us information regarding the types of foods to restrict as well as foods to include that will benefit a healthy weight loss. It is our experience that persons on the dna diet have better results than on conventional diet treatments.

The dna health test is the cornerstone of our anti-ageing nutrition plan. It gives us information on the types of food and supplementation that may reduce the risk for chronic diseasey like heart disease, stroke, diabetes, cancer, degenerative bone diseases and inflammatory states. We find that people are more willing to make a lifestyle change once they understand their own gene and risk profile.

Since I can recall I’ve had a problem with being overweight/struggling to maintain weight that I’ve lost. I’ve always thought that carbs are to blame but kept on changing from diet to diet hoping to find something that’ll work. The DNA Report has made it easy to eat a normal diet and still maintain my weightloss. The biggest surprise to me was my genetic ability to take part in endurance sporting activities! I’ve since slowly started walking/running and find it much easier knowing that I can do it. I’ve been impressed by the high quality of the report and the scientific evidence that it’s based upon. I can wholeheartedly recommend this program.

As specialist dieticians we have treated over 5000 clients at our clinics. We are always updating our programs in accordance with the latest approaches in nutrition. The DNA diet test confirms in many instances what we have suspected all along. Clients who have applied the DNA diet test results in their eating and exercise plan have seen significantly better results than those who are on conventional kilo-joule restricted eating plans. We are using the test in: Patients who struggle to lose weight, especially those with a history of yo-yo dieting and fad diets. General weight loss from 3kg and more. Maintenance eating plans. The DNA test is the ID of who you are regarding eating and exercising. Thus avoiding certain foods and exercising according to your genetic results proves to be the ultimate maintenance guideline

Patient J Van Niekerk has struggled to lose weight for many years. We did the DNA diet test on him and the results confirmed that he must avoid high GI carbohydrates and saturated fats. He lost 4 kg in the first 2 weeks and his acne and eczema is clearing up. He hopes to lose 20kg in 16 weeks. We will keep you updated.

After years of trying every diet and exercising myself almost to a standstill to lose those stubborn 5 kgs, I have finally found out exactly what I should be eating and and what sort of exercise is optimal for me. DNA Diet revealed that, according to my genetic make-up, I should be eating a low carb diet and that the best type of exercise for me is moderate! Sticking to my personalised plan, at last, I am starting to shift the weight that has been impossible to lose in the past.

Losing my baby weight has been so frustrating; I have been struggling to shed the last few kgs for the past 3 months. I have tried various different diets and exercise strategies, with no success. Until I had the DNA diet genetic test done. The test revealed that my body responds best to a low fat diet and endurance exercise. I tried following my personalised DNA Diet programme for a week before I went to my dietitian to get weighed. For the first time in 3 months I lost 1.6kg. DNA Diet has provided me with additional awareness regarding what I should be eating and what type of exercise is best for my body. I now focus on low fat options instead of detox or low carb diets. DNA Diet has given me that extra bit of motivation and confidence to lose the last few kgs and follow a healthier lifestyle.

Dear Yael, I'm just writing to let you know how much I enjoyed finding out the true reasons for my years of dieting with little or no success. DNA DIET gave me a scientific reason why I need to eat certain foods and how I should be exercising. After implementing the DNA DIET programme I have already started to lose weight and I am feeling so much more energetic than before. My body is in a happy space. I think DNA DIET is an amazing concept and will shape weight-loss management and programmes in the future. I wish you all the best with your launch.
