Forty-eight participants were excluded from food, energy and nutrient calculations because they reported unrealistic energy intakes. Following the advice of the dieticians, most of the participants increased consumption of vegetables, legumes, fruits and fish, and decreased intake of meat and dairy products (table 2). Cereal intake also decreased due to reduced consumption of white bread, which is the main cereal food in the Spanish diet. A large increase in the consumption of nuts, one of the supplemental foods given, was observed, whereas the total amount of olive oil did not change because participants replaced customarily used refined olive oil by the virgin variety supplied. Alcohol intake increased slightly at the expense of wine, one of the components of the Med-diet recommended in moderation to participants who were not abstainers at baseline. The results did not materially change when the participants whose energy consumption was out of range were included in the calculations.
