Treatment Overview
The Individualized Diet Prescription Program in Korea is a medically supervised nutrition plan designed to optimize weight management, metabolic health, and overall wellness. Unlike generic diet programs, this approach provides a personalized nutrition plan based on body composition, metabolic rate, hormonal status, lifestyle, and health goals.
Korean clinics combine advanced diagnostics—including resting metabolic rate (RMR) testing, body composition analysis (InBody/DEXA), and blood panels—with physician-guided diet prescriptions. The program ensures safe caloric intake, balanced macronutrients, and micronutrient adequacy, supporting sustainable fat loss, lean mass preservation, and improved metabolic efficiency.
Korea’s individualized diet programs integrate:
- Comprehensive assessment of metabolic rate, body composition, and dietary habits
- Personalized calorie and macronutrient targets
- Hormone and metabolic profiling to address underlying causes of weight gain
- Physician-guided diet adjustments for optimal results
- Integration with medical weight-loss interventions (GLP-1 therapy, fat-burning injections, keto diet, etc.)
- Behavioral counseling to improve adherence and lifestyle habits
- AI-assisted tracking of diet, metabolism, and weight-loss progress
This evidence-based approach ensures effective fat loss, appetite control, and long-term nutritional health.
