Abstract	Obesity is considered as a major challenge among global health which is associated with metabolic disorders, decreased quality of life, and increased impact on healthcare. Meal Replacement Therapy (MRT) have been visible as an optimized dietary approach for weight management because of its ability to provide adequate intake of calories, improved quality of diet, and enhance compliance. This review summarizes present evidences on the clinical advantages of MRT by emphasizing on full and partial meal replacement approaches, improved metabolism, glycemic control, patient compliance, and modification of lifestyle. Existing studies portrays that partial MRT can cause clinically evidenced weight reduction with better portion control and improved metabolic outcomes in comparison to other conventional calorie-restricted diets. Furthermore, personalized MRT impacts in improved long-term glycemic control for Type 2 Diabetes (T2D) patients. Although, this benefits in patient education, dietary adherence, and long-term lifestyle modifications, it remains crucial for more sustained results.
