A while ago I chronicled a very interesting study called the SMILES trial, which investigated the link between depression and nutrition. It focused on what it called the Med-Mod diet, a (sort of) version of the Mediterranean diet.

Here’s a little more information on the evidence linking nutrition and depression: https://www.amatterofsnacks.com/nutrition-for-depression-treatment/

Do you think there’s a link between food and mood?

Yes, mediterrenean diet has a lot of health benefits which can improve the overall health status along with the weight loss which is essential part of the weightloss journey. I have shared my views and experience on https://blogdepot.org/blogs/mediterranean-diet-recipes-for-weight-loss-pdf-guide/
