Abstract:
26 participants were randomly assigned to: intervention or control group. Three questionnaires related to food were applied to both groups and an additional satisfaction questionnaire to the intervention group. Modification in eating behavior was observed in both groups. Both improved their adherence to the MedDiet, with no significant difference when comparing between groups. Satisfaction with the sessions had a mean of 4.92 ± SD 0.289 and the degree to which the sessions seemed motivating had a mean of 4.67 ± SD 0.492. A positive correlation (0.031) is evident between the expression of feelings for change and adherence to the MedDiet.
