Our body is brilliant. After all these years, from the time we roamed about the Garden of Eden or were swept ashore as a unicellular being, one thing never changed - the life-giving proteins of DNA and RNA. The basic tenet of carbon-based life on earth as we know it becomes varied with varying infinite ways of sequences and numbers to produce so many species and variants. The central blueprint of DNA, over the years, with exposure to various offending agents, propelled the master implant to self-regulate and auto correct the sequence to ensure the continuation of species. Only the fittest survive, hence change is inevitable. When a body is deprived of food, the master-control will initiate the sequence for starvation mode. Metabolism would be reduced, and lipogenesis is commenced. And the next time we consume food, nutrients would be pushed into the body silo for a rainy day. And if you usually regularly indulge in strenuous calories losing activities, do not expect to lose much weight as the body tries to maintain the homeostasis and equilibrium.And that is the reason, my friend, why you are not losing any weight despite your faithful early morning visits to the gym and the vigorous 2000kCal losing routines almost daily. Your body is much too smart. Your gut-wrenching diet and calories counting is not going to fool him. You need to outsmart him by varying your exercise routine to confuse it into maintaining internal equilibrium.
The DNA holds some of the secrets involving Man, a vast of it is unknown to him. Imagine a template for its progeny where it is continuously checked and improved with each generation to combat an increasingly hostile environment. Sometimes it gets too comfortable that the bored cells start attacking their own kind or show an exaggerated response to something trivial and familiar like peanuts and wheat!
