Abstract: The present invention relates to a method and a kit for identifying a subjects macronutrient sensitivity. The method involves assaying a genetic sample from the subject to determine a polymorphism profile, analysing the polymorphism profile to identify risk alleles and determining the macronutrient sensitivity based on the number of risk alleles present. This information can be used for determining an appropriate diet to induce satiety, formulating a diet for inducing satiety, or for treating a range of medical complaints associated with metabolism.
