In plain English

In obese Indian adults, a four-month personalized diet based on genetic information led to lower fasting blood sugar and triglyceride levels than a standard diet.

See the scientific wording

A four-month personalized nutrigenetic diet in obese Indian adults was associated with a significant reduction in fasting blood sugar levels and triglycerides compared to a generic diet, suggesting potential metabolic benefits beyond weight loss.

Why this might work

The diet changes how liver cells read genetic instructions, turning down genes that make too much sugar and fat, and turning up genes that break them down, which lowers blood sugar and fat levels.
