The treatment of obesity with personalized nutrition according to their hormonal body type and metabolic type

Abstract

2/3 of Hungarian society is currently overweight or obese. 40% of men are overweight and 32% are obese, 32% of overweight and obesity in women in both cases, and the value increases with age.1 Among the OECD countries, Hungary is the fourth most obese country and on the top of the podium in Europe.2 Most of the mortality are due to inadequate nutrition, more than smoking-related deaths.3 As we see the nutritional status of Hungary, it can be said that there is an excessive amount of animal product and fat intake, while fruit, vegetable and cereal consumption is low. The dietary fiber intake is decreasing and sugar consumption is increasing.4 There are countless approaches to treat the obesity. There are many contradictory diets that prove workable for some, but not others, so it could be possible that everyone is right in some cases. Based on this we can see that the treatment should be personalized. David Zeevi researc focusing on postprandial glycemic response to personalize the diet To do this, the carbohydrate content and glycemic index were considered. There are great differences in the same foods in different people postprandal glucose levels that justify to comsumize the diet.5 The influence of the climate on human morphology is significant: the cooler the climate is, the larger the body mass, and the warmer the climate is, the leaner and the taller the body.6 Nutrition is related to our morphology, because our body type is hereditary and most likely the climate has specific dietary patterns.7 Based on these, eating according to our hormonal body type8 and metabolic type9 can be an interesting approach to diets.
