Reviewer 2 Report

The study has many limitations, the main one being that the actual intake of the participants was not analyzed, analyzing the diet of the individuals using food frequency consumption questionnaires.
The results are not well explained and the discussion is very poor, this should be improved.
The conclusions are not representative of the results presented. When the results are better explained, conclusions according to them can be obtained.
The idea of the work is good, but it is not well planned or developed.

  1. INSTRUMENETS: Are the questions from 1 to 8 validated? Were the answers open or closed?
  2. Criteria for selecting groups: Why were subjects who were not on a diet and had plans to lose weight discarded? Exclusion and inclusion criteria are not well explained and should be included in the Characterization of study participants section.
  3. RESULTS: The results must be explained. Don't just display a table. This needs to be modified
