The topic of ultra-processed food addiction has been the subject many peer-reviewed publications. Although on average 14% adults may meet criteria for in prevalence studies, it is not a recognized clinical diagnosis, hence lack published evidence-based treatment protocols and outcome data. In 2022, we reported outcomes pre- post-intervention from an online, real food-based, low-carbohydrate educational program with psychosocial support related to recovery. intervention was delivered across three locations, offering common approach. programs comprised weekly online sessions 10–14 weeks, followed by monthly groups. previously data were relating symptoms measured modified Yale Food Addiction Scale 2.0, ICD-10 substance use disorder (CRAVED), mental well-being as short version Warwick Edinburgh Mental Wellbeing Scale, post-intervention. current report focuses same cohort’s 6- 12-month follow-up show significant, sustained improvement well-being. These are first long-term results be program. Research now needed evaluate compare other interventions this impairing increasingly prevalent biopsychosocial condition.
