See the scientific wording

In obese Indian adults, a personalized nutrigenetic diet was associated with a greater reduction in body mass index (BMI) after four months compared to a generic diet, suggesting genetic-based dietary guidance may enhance BMI improvement.

Why this might work

People with certain gene versions process food differently, so when they eat foods matched to their genes, their bodies burn more fat and store less, leading to greater weight loss.
