Some people don\u2019t have the genetics to consume, convert, and assimilate coconut oil. Matt consumed much coconut oil, and his triglycerides were through the roof. After cutting it out, it went back down to normal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Some people have genes such as: <\/p>\n\n\n\n

ADRB2 <\/strong>produces a beta-2 adrenergic receptor, which takes signals from adrenaline. Therefore, it affects your fight or flight response, which is important for exercise performance and fat burning.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

It\u2019s a \u201cthrifty gene\u201d because it can make our bodies more efficient at using as few calories as possible to function. While efficiency might sound good, in practical terms, it\u2019s easier to get more out of the calories you eat and store the extra in your fat tissue.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The GG variant is the most efficient, so those with this may consider keeping to an especially lower saturated fat plan. The AA and AG variants are better at burning excess calories.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

APOA2<\/strong>: The \u201ceat fat, get fat\u201d gene (satiation gene). This enzyme regulates appetite. Those with CC variants tend to have a higher BMI when saturated fats are included in the diet. CT and TT do not show this association. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

People with CC variants will get hungrier and eat more if they eat a lot of fat, especially saturated fat. So if you have this variation and eat a lot of fat – YOU HAVE TO MOVE and burn calories, or you will get FAT.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

FTO:<\/strong> The Hangry Gene regulates the hunger hormone ghrelin. The FTO gene impacts overall body fat depending on how much fat you eat, especially saturated fat. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The CC and CT variants tend to hold on to fat, so you need less fat in your diet. The TT variant has an easier time letting go of fat stores. People who have the C variant, especially homozygous, are hungry. Balancing blood sugar<\/a> is the key.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

LPL:<\/strong> This gene helps to modulate whether saturated fats are stored as body fat or burned as fuel and plays a role in how saturated fats are broken down for energy.<\/strong> <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Those with the GG variant of this gene break down saturated fats and use them for energy easily. However, this gene’s CG and CC variants have less ability to tolerate saturated fats in the diet since they can easily convert them to cholesterol.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"General<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

APOC3:<\/strong> This gene regulates blood triglyceride levels and LDL cholesterol (the \u201cbad\u201d cholesterol). Saturated fats in the diet are the modulating factor of how strongly a role this gene plays. <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Those with the CC variant of this gene have a significantly increased risk of atherosclerosis and elevated blood lipid levels when they eat a lot of saturated fats. Those with the GG and GC variants do not share this increased risk.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you have genetics that suggests saturated fats are bad for you, or you\u2019re not sure, it\u2019s best to focus on monounsaturated fats. These are good for your blood lipids. Also, they\u2019re not as easily damaged by oxidation as polyunsaturated fats like omega-3 and omega-6. All fat sources combine saturated, monounsaturated, and polyunsaturated fats. But the following and their oils are predominantly monounsaturated fats:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
