| It is expected to find an improvement in the participants' anxiety classification after the proposed intervention period. To measure the anxiety classification, the Beck Anxiety Inventory will be used, a resource that places greater emphasis on the somatic aspects of anxiety. It is a self-administered scale that measures the intensity of anxiety symptoms. The subject evaluates, on a four-point scale, the perception of their level of anxiety in 21 anxiogenic situations. The presentation of the parameters of the total anxiety level (sum of the scores of the 21 items) is classified as minimum (0–7 points), mild (8–15 points), moderate (16–25 points) and severe (26–63 points ).;A reduction in the Depression, Anxiety and Stress Scale (DASS-21) is expected after the intervention period in the experimental group, a method used to verify the expected outcome using the DASS-21, which was developed with the objective of measuring and differentiating, as much as possible, the symptoms of anxiety and depression. The scale is based on the tripartite model in which symptoms of anxiety and depression are grouped into three basic structures. First, (a) defined by the presence of negative affect, such as depressed mood, insomnia, discomfort and irritability, which are non-specific symptoms and are included in both depression and anxiety; the second encompasses (b) factors that constitute structures that represent specific symptoms for depression (anhedonia, absence of positive affect); finally, the last structure refers to (c) specific symptoms of anxiety (somatic tension and hyperactivity). It constitutes 42 items that reflect negative emotional symptoms. The results of a series of factor analyzes during its development indicated that the main symptoms of anxiety include physiological arousal (sweaty hands, tremors, increased heart rate) as well as subjective awareness of anxious affect and escape or avoidance tendencies. The symptoms of depression are: low positive affect, hopeles | — |

| A better response in the Chronotype Test is expected in the experimental group after the intervention period, the method used to verify the expected outcome will be through the application of the Chronotype Questionnaire, a Portuguese version of the Morningness–Eveningness Questionnaire (MEQ) by Horne and Östberg, being the most used and validated worldwide for identifying chronotypes. The chronotype refers to phase differences in an individual's circadian rhythm, indicating the times of the day when they are most active and willing to carry out their activities. In this way, three main types of chronotypes can be identified: morning, afternoon and intermediate.;It is expected that there will be no consumption of foods composed of gluten and casein after the intervention period in the experimental group. For this evaluation, the Food Frequency Questionnaire (FFQ) will be applied, a method established as it is an important tool for the purpose of analyzing the habitual food consumption of food groups that can be applied in a qualitative, semi-qualitative, quantitative and semi-quantitative way. .;It is expected to identify a reduction in metabolic risk after the intervention period in the intervention group. For this evaluation, the Metabolic Tracking Questionnaire (QRM, from the Brazilian Center for Functional Nutrition, and the Bristol Scale) will be applied. 30 days, last weeks and last 48 hours, which is a tool used to investigate various signs and symptoms of the last few days where there is a score that the patient himself will give and at the end these points are added together and serves as a parameter to start tracking possible nutritional deficiencies, hypersensitivities, food intolerances or other causes (food or environmental). The Bristol Scale will also be used to assess stool consistency. The scale, made up of seven types of stool images, along with precise descriptions regarding shape and consistency.;A better cognitive response is expected after the | — |
