In plain English

Adults aged 41–70 who closely followed a personalized nutrition plan had lower HbA1c levels and smaller waist circumferences than those who did not follow the plan closely.

See the scientific wording

Among highly adherent adults aged 41–70, a personalized nutrition program resulted in greater reductions in HbA1c (−0.06%) and waist circumference (−6.31 cm) compared to low-adherence participants, suggesting that adherence to personalized dietary guidance is a critical determinant of metabolic benefit.

Why this might work

When people eat foods tailored to their unique metabolism and gut bacteria, their gut bacteria change to types that produce beneficial chemicals. These changes make them feel fuller longer, so they eat fewer calories without trying. The body then burns stored fat, shrinking waist size, and reduces inflammation that interferes with blood sugar control, leading to lower HbA1c.
