Resumo

Background: Post-partum weight retention is associated with inadequate eating habits and increased body image dissatisfaction. The aim was to study the influence of a mediterranean dietetic education program and healthy physical activity habits in breastfeeding mothers on food habits, physical activity practice, body composition and body dissatisfaction. Methods: 10 nursing mothers (age:37,4±3,3; height:162,3±0,1; number of pregnancies:2±1) participated in the study, which was carried out during 15 weeks. The variables studied were: adherence to the Mediterranean diet, practice of physical activity, perception of body image and composition. Results: Although the results reported an increase after the intervention, neither adherence to the mediterranean diet nor frequency of physical activity varied significantly. Conclusions: However, there were significant changes in body composition and body image perception.
