Thank you for posting your question. While we understand that this is a very important question to you, it is not possible to give you a specific weight loss recommendation without a proper examination performed in a physician's office. You may want to discuss the possible medical causes of your being "too big" with your family doctor or other qualified health care provider.

In general, caloric restriction (eating less) helps to lose weight for most people. Most popular weight loss diets are based on this method. However, depending on a person's genetic make-up, reduction of caloric intake is not effective for about 1/3 of all persons. For individuals with that particular genetic makeup it is also necessary to add an exercise program or other methods to a caloric restriction program in order to successfully lose weight. Our genetic test can tell whether the person can lose weight by simply restricting caloric intake or whether he or she belongs to a group of people who genetic makeup is such that additional measures could be necessary.
