5. Conclusions
overweight
The analysis of the benefits of healthy eating should not be limited to weight status or BMI. The positive eating changes need to transcend numerical values and could focus on food quality and long-term responses. The changes in the dietary profile of overweight adolescents showed significantly positive responses, with a consumption reduction of processed and ultra-processed foods in grams and kcals, besides an increase in fresh foods in grams and kcals. However, when comparing the FG with the IG, there were no significant differences in the consumption in grams and kcals of fresh products after the multi-professional interventions. Finally, the best strategy to be followed to provide positive changes in the diet of overweight adolescents will depend on preference, family relationship and behavior.
