This study aimed to evaluate the effects of Mediterranean Diet and Sustainable Nutrition Education on anthropometric measurements (Weight (kg), BMI, body fat percentage (%), body fat mass (kg), fat-free mass (kg), muscle mass (kg), total body fluid (kg), visceral fat, waist circumference (cm), waist-to-height ratio, and waist-to-hip ratio). It is believed that this education will help bring body composition closer to optimal reference values. This study is expected to reduce energy intake, increase dietary fiber intake, reduce protein from animal sources and increase plant proteins in women's diets, and thus replace saturated fats with monounsaturated fatty acids (MUFAs). This is expected to result in a decrease in body weight and body fat mass.
