What the trial is, and whether it could suit you

Nutrition is very important to keep blood sugar levels balanced. If blood sugar levels are too high, it can lead to diseases such as cardiovascular disease and type 2 diabetes (T2DM). Therefore, adjusting what one eats, also called a diet or nutritional intervention, can help prevent these diseases. However, not everyone responds the same to a diet. In about 30% of people, a diet does not work as hoped. This can be due to various reasons, such as a person's metabolism, genetic predisposition, the composition of the food one eats, or the bacteria in the intestines. Everyday things like sleep, stress, and movement also play a role. The investigators used a computer model to classify people with overweight and obesity into groups based on these factors. The investigators call such a group a 'Metabolic Phenotype', or in short 'Metabotype'. Based on the Metabotype, a personalised diet was dev
