Obesity is considered a major public health problem, and WHO, a global epidemic. This may be occurring by the westernization of lifestyle habits such as increased food intake due to poor habits and a decrease in daily energy expenditure due to increased sedentary lifestyle. The aim of this study was to analyze the effect of individualized nutrition intervention on body composition and dietary habits of obese patient. To this end, we performed a case study,longitudinal through individualized nutritional care, which were performed anthro-pometric measurements, dietary asses-sment and intervention of eating habits. Anthropometric Measure mentswere assessed with body mass, heightand waist circumference. The patient was 23 years old accompanied by initial BMI and BMI 36.9 kg / m² (obesity grade II). In the primary research was not reported medication use, no comorbidity associated with nutritional status or family history of any disease. With treatment there was a reduction of 29kg and the nutritional status has evolved into pre-obese. The net loss in inches of waist circumference was 16 cm, thus reducing risk of metabolic complications, even such a perimeter is still above recommended levels. Given the findings of this study can be concluded that changes in diet and lifestyle directly reflect the nutritional status of individuals.
