Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
This Special Issue of Nutrients, titled “Personalized Nutritional Approaches for Weight Management”, highlights cutting-edge research and reviews focused on evidence-based dietary strategies to prevent and treat overweight and obesity. It emphasizes the impact of optimized nutritional patterns—including tailored macronutrient distributions, personalized dietary interventions, and medical nutrition therapy—on successful weight loss and long-term weight control. Contributions explore how different dietary compositions, nutrigenomic insights, and behavioral and individual factors can influence energy balance, metabolic health, and weight maintenance efforts. This issue also considers personalized nutrition approaches that account for age, sex, and metabolic differences, alongside broader nutritional strategies to improve adherence and the sustainability of weight management plans. By gathering original research and comprehensive reviews, this collection aims to deepen the understanding of how nutrition can be strategically used to support effective weight control, reduce obesity-related metabolic risk, and inform practical clinical and public health recommendations.
Dr. Maria Morgan-Bathke
Guest Editor
