This study, we will build upon our prior work and test the feasibility of a Mediterranean diet intervention for medically underserved men with prostate cancer seen at LBJ Hospital, a large safety net facility in Harris County, TX.
Primary Objectives: To determine the feasibility of a Mediterranean diet-based intervention adapted for underrepresented minority men with prostate cancer, defined based on the following process measures68: * Enrollment (completion of 25 patient accrual within 2 years) * Retention (completion of the study through the 6-month time point, with ≥80% defined as successful) * Adherence (the percentage of completed study sessions and clinic visits, with ≥70% considered successful). Secondary Objectives: To determine changes due to the Mediterranean diet intervention in the following measures: *…
Inclusion Criteria: * Histologically confirmed adenocarcinoma of the prostate that is localized based on metastatic workup ordered by the treating physician (which may include CT scan, bone scan, MRI and/or other imaging).

Through existing collaboration with the Harris Health system's innovative food pharmacy, participants will be provided fresh fruit, vegetables and other foods every other week during the study. Participants will receive olive oil and walnuts during the 8 week intervention (consistent with the PREDIMED6 intervention) to supplement their (and their families') diet during the 8-week intervention (while personalized education about diet, food choices and preparation is still occurring).
