The Claim
In obese Indian adults, a four-month personalized nutrigenetic diet based on polygenic risk scores for protein, carbohydrate metabolism, and food intolerances is associated with a greater reduction in body weight (mean decrease >10%) and body fat percentage compared to a generic diet.
What the research says
Supports is higher
Support is ahead, but a single strong opposing study can change this.
These are independent scores, not a percentage. Higher-grade studies count more, so a single strong opposing study can outweigh several weaker ones.
Obese Indian adults who followed a diet tailored to their genetic profile lost more weight and body fat over four months than those who followed a standard diet.
See the scientific wording
In obese Indian adults, a four-month personalized nutrigenetic diet based on polygenic risk scores for protein, carbohydrate metabolism, and food intolerances was associated with a greater reduction in body weight (mean decrease >10%) and body fat percentage compared to a generic diet, suggesting genetic-tailored nutrition may enhance weight loss outcomes in this population.
People with certain gene versions process proteins and carbs differently, so when they eat foods matched to their genes, their bodies burn fat more efficiently and store less of it, leading to faster weight loss.
What the research says
1 studyPeople in India who ate diets customized to their genes lost more weight and body fat than those on a regular diet, proving that matching food plans to your DNA can help you lose more weight.
