The Claim

An 18-week personalized dietary program leads to greater weight loss and lower HbA1c levels than standard dietary care in humans.

In plain English

People who follow an 18-week personalized diet lose more weight and have lower HbA1c levels than those who follow standard dietary advice.

See the scientific wording

An 18-week personalized dietary program results in greater weight loss and lower HbA1c levels compared to standard dietary care.

Why this might work

Eating fewer calories and choosing foods that don't spike blood sugar reduces fat in the liver and muscles, allowing insulin to work better. This lowers the liver's production of glucose and helps muscles take up more sugar from the blood, which brings down blood sugar levels and causes weight loss.

What the research says

4 studies

  1. Study: A randomized clinical trial comparing low-fat versus precision nutrition-based diets for weight loss: impact on glycemic variability and HbA1c.

    People who got a custom diet plan didn't lose more weight or lower their blood sugar any better than people who followed a regular healthy diet — both groups improved about the same.

  2. Study: Effect of a Personalized Diet to Reduce Postprandial Glycemic Response vs a Low-fat Diet on Weight Loss in Adults With Abnormal Glucose Metabolism and Obesity

    People on a personalized diet didn’t lose more weight than those on a standard low-fat diet—even though they logged their food more often. So, the personalized diet didn’t work better.
