See what Women’s Fitness magazine said about CarbChoice:
I discovered I fall into the worst category with a low AMY1 score of 3, meaning I don’t produce enough amylase and my system lacks the ability to break down starchy carbs. Bad news for my love of hot chips! My Fitgenes practitioner, Miles Browning, did note, though, that I shouldn’t stress too much – so long as I get it right 80% of the time I have 20% leeway to eat pizza every so often (yay!)”

Scientifically Proven To Help You Lose Weight and Stay Healthy.
Learn about YOUR DNA and how you can use this information to plan your meals and lifestyle.
Know how much of each different type of carb you should eat, enjoy better health and you won’t have to miss out on all the foods you love.
With better carb management, you can push yourself harder and get fit faster… but it all comes down to how well you know GENES!
For example, let’s say your CarbChoice profile says you’re a 2 – in the low processing range. Let’s look at what breakfast might look like for you.
If you’re a 2 and you’ve been eating over-processed, sugary, grain-based cereals then you’ll be overloading on the carbs first thing in the morning – when your amylase is actually at it’s lowest.
Try a protein-rich breakfast of eggs, avocado, tomato and leafy greens to get your day started. Not only will you feel fuller for longer you’ll be less likely to snack before lunch. Give it a go!
Weight management has always been an issue for me so I wondered what CarbChoice would offer. I did the swab and got my report back, I was a 2! I suited a ‘hunter gather’ type diet. I had already worked out that a lower cab diet seemed to suit me better. I had been conscious of varying the grains I ate, but this allowed me to really focus on what grains and vegetables contained starch, which ones I would be better selecting. Read more
Before I received my AMY1 gene profile report I often felt sick and bloated not noticing at first that it was due to my diet. After some time I suspected I might have been gluten or starch intolerant. I am reasonably fit and not overweight so feeling so sick all the time was starting to take its toll on me and I needed to act. My gene profile came back with a result of 6, which is low but easily manageable. Read more
I’m 50 years old and my result came back as a 9+ which meant I’m actually pretty good at processing carbs. I’m a little overweight though and don’t really have time to think about my diet and exercise as I’m crazy busy with work and family. CarbChoice told me that even though I was high processing, I still need to watch the amount I was eating – not just carbs, but sugars as well. Being a 9+ means that food tastes creamier and sweeter to me than others – something I didn’t know! Read more
Your AMY1 Gene Score tells you exactly how tolerant your digestive system is to starch. If you have a high processing range, it means you are better adapted to a high-starch diet. If you sit in a lower processing range, it means you are less starch-tolerant. CarbChoice reports on the activity of your AMY1 gene and how well this stimulates the production of amylase in your saliva when you chew your food.
If you’re low processing it means you can enjoy more protein rich foods along with your carbs, but need to increase your amylase levels to break the carbs better. Your CarbChoice report will tell you how to do that.
Moderate carb processing means you’re not too bad at it, but need to monitor your carb intake and can also look at foods that have no or little starch in them. CarbChoice report tells you which foods to enjoy based on starch levels and those too avoid as they have too much.
As someone who does process carbs well, you may also find that food tastes a little sweeter and creamier! This can mean you might eat a little more than you should.
