This study aims to evaluate the changes in food intake between obese people after 3 months of nutritional intervention. Twenty obese were invited to participate of 6 biweekly meetings of 2 hours / each, totaling three months of follow-up. Each meeting was created using Brazilian Food intake Guideline, document from actions and politics in food and nutrition of the Brazilian government. Before and after intervention, the anthropometric measures were evaluated (weight, height and waist circumference), food intake by 24h recall and comparing with the Brazilian Food intake Guideline. Only eight obese patients completed the study and a significant reduction of abdominal circumference was observed between the initial (126 ±9,1cm) and the final (119,7± 8,0cm) moments. There was a significant reduction of sodium (1726,9 ± 963,1 for 1092,4 ± 492,1mg) and trans fat (3,3 ± 2,07 for 1, ±1,5g/day) and the increase of niacin intake (13,5 ± 6,7 mg/day for 1,3 ± 4,5 mg/day) from the 24h recall method. Comparing this with the recommendations of the Brazilian Food intake Guideline, it was observed, at the end of study, that all obese patients had an appropriate consumption of soft drink, oil, salt, fruits, greens, vegetables, water and diet fractionation. It was concluded that there were an abdominal circumference reduction and an improvement in food intake, using nutritional intervention in a group.
