Summary

Emerging evidence suggests protective properties of a Mediterranean diet (MD) in relation to prevention and management of mood disorders. However, there is paucity of dietary interventions investigating adherence to MD and effects on mood and wellbeing in individuals without a clinical diagnosis.

A mediterranean style diet

At baseline, an Educational Group Session (EGS) introduced participants to the Mediterranean Diet (MD) principles to support adherence. The interactive EGS covered MD typical foods to consume and avoid, cooking methods, and practical shopping guidance. Following the EGS, participants adopted a Mediterranean-style diet for a period of 7 days. Participants were encouraged to follow the MD guidelines (replacing typical western foods with MD foods) without restricting energy intake; examples were provided during the EGS and with take-home resource materials which detailed 'simple swaps' or alternative MD food items to replace western food items.
