The Claim
In obese Indian adults, a personalized nutrigenetic diet is associated with a significant reduction in body fat percentage after four months compared to a generic diet, independent of overall weight change.
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 genes lost more body fat after four months than those who followed a standard diet, even when their total weight did not change differently.
See the scientific wording
In obese Indian adults, a personalized nutrigenetic diet was associated with a significant reduction in body fat percentage after four months compared to a generic diet, suggesting genetic-tailored nutrition may enhance fat loss independently of overall weight change.
People with certain gene versions process fats differently, so when they eat foods matched to their genes, their fat cells store less fat and burn more of it, leading to less body fat even when total weight stays the same.
What the research says
1 studyPeople who ate a diet planned based on their genes lost more body fat than those on a regular diet, even though both groups lost weight — showing that knowing your genes can help you lose fat better.
