INTRODUCTION: the prevalence of @entity28 has increased, especially among @entity1 . AIM: the aim of this study was to assess the effect of a hypoenergetic diet combined with coconut flour on anthropometric and biochemical data and the quality of the diet. METHODS: we carried out a crossover clinical trial involving a step with hypoenergetic diet only and another with the diet associated with coconut flour consumption (26 g) over the course of nine months. The volunteers were recruited from the S  o Gon  alo city of Rio de Janeiro. Anthropometric, biochemical and dietary data were collected monthly. The diet quality index revised for the Brazilian population (DQI-R) and the consumption of ultra-processed foods and additives were assessed. The Wilcoxon and Mann-Whitney tests were performed, with p < 0.05 considered statistically significant. RESULTS: forty-two @entity1 of an average 47.5    9.5 years of age participated. The hypoenergetic diet promoted a decrease in body fat, body mass index, waist circumference, waist-to-height ratio, visceral adiposity index, diastolic blood pressure, @entity1674 and VLDL. The consumption of coconut flour promoted a drop in @entity413 and total @entity165 levels when supplementing the hypoenergetic diet. The improvement to diet quality can be noted in the decrease in consumption of ultra-processed foods like vegetable oil, @entity6353 and soft drinks. CONCLUSION: the hypoenergetic diet promoted a decrease in the anthropometric parameters, blood pressure and @entity1674 . The consumption of coconut flour promoted a decrease in @entity413 and total @entity165 levels when supplementing the hypoenergetic diet. The improved diet quality can be seen in the decrease in consumption of ultra- processed foods.
