Abstract

A nutritional plan based on a person'"'"'s individual genetic APO E genotype, which has been shown to be the number one gene affecting diet, cholesterol, heart disease, vascular dementia, Alzheimer'"'"'s disease, and chronic illness, possibly autism, Parkinson'"'"'s disease, and other neurological diseases, and that focuses on the right percentages of macronutrients for each individual'"'"'s genetic type, is disclosed.

Claims

1. A method for establishing a nutritional and exercise regime based upon genotype, comprising the steps of:

testing an individual to determine the individual'"'"'s APO E genotype;

based upon said individual'"'"'s APO E genotype, providing a genotype specific nutritional regime establishing dietary levels of fat content (long term fuel) with a correct type of fats for said genotype, carbohydrate content (short term fuel) with a correct type of carbohydrates for said genotype; and

protein content with a correct type of proteins for said genotype; and

based upon said individual'"'"'s APO E genotype, establishing a genotype specific level of caloric content for said individual.

for APO E 3/4, more carbohydrate content; and

for APO E 4/4, more carbohydrate content.

establishing a ratio of fat content to carbohydrate content based upon said individual'"'"'s APO E genotype.

5. The method of claim 4, said ratio comprising:

for APO E 2/2, about 35% fat content, 15% protein content, and 50% carbohydrate content;

for APO E 2/3, about 30% fat content, 15% protein content, and 55% carbohydrate content;

for APO E 3/3 and APO E 2/4, about 25% fat content, 20% protein content, and 55% carbohydrate content; and

6. The method of claim 1, further comprising the step of:

based upon said individual'"'"'s APO E genotype, providing a genotype specific exercise regime for said individual.

7. The method of claim 6, said specific exercise regime comprising:

for APO E 2/2 and APO E 2/3, about 45% aerobic exercise and 55% anaerobic exercise;

for APO. E 3/3 and APO E 2/4, about 50% aerobic exercise and 50% anaerobic exercise; and

for APO E 3/4 and APO E 4/4, about 75% aerobic exercise and 25% anaerobic exercise.

8. The method of claim 1, further comprising the step of:

based upon said individual'"'"'s APO E genotype, establishing a genotype specific percentage of body fat mass and lean mass, based on said individual'"'"'s height and weight.

9. The method of claim 8, said specific percentage of body fat mass BMI, based on said individual'"'"'s height and weight, comprising for males:

for APO E 2/2 and APO E 2/3, less than 16% body fat mass, with normal lean mass range based on height;

for APO E 3/3 and APO E 2/4, less than 16% body fat mass, with lean mass range based on height; and

for APO E 3/4 and APO E 4/4, less than 16% body fat mass, with lean mass range based on height.

10. The method of claim 8, said specific percentage of body fat mass BMI, based on said individual'"'"'s height and weight, comprising for females:

for APO E 2/2 and APO E 2/3, less than 22% body mass, with normal lean mass range based on height;

for APO E 3/3 and APO E 2/4, less than 2% body mass, with normal lean mass range based on height; and

for APO E 3/4 and APO E 4/4, less than 22% body mass, with normal lean mass range based on height.

11. A method for establishing a nutritional plan, comprising the steps of;

performing a caloric need calculation for activities of daily living for two basic activity levels, said activity levels comprising both a normal activities of daily living caloric requirement required to sustain typical daily activity, and additional calories for daily activity that requires additional caloric use; and

identifying an individual APO E gene nutritional recommendation;

based upon said individual'"'"'s APO E genotype, providing a genotype specific nutritional regime establishing dietary levels of fat content with a correct type of fats for said genotype, carbohydrate content with a correct type of carbohydrates for said genotype; and

protein content with a correct type of proteins for said genotype; and

based upon said individual'"'"'s APO E genotype, establishing a genotype specific level of caloric content for said individual.

12. The method of claim 11, said step of establishing dietary levels of fat content, carbohydrate content, and protein content further comprising the step of:
