As students transition from high school to college and learn to make changes to begin living on their own and dealing with the stress of the classroom, health eating is usually one of the problems the first things to put on the back burner. Because of this, my behavior change is to start focusing on my eating health and start taking it more seriously. I found the article Systematic Review of Dietary Interventions with College Students: Directions for Future Research and Practice very useful and relatable. The authors performed this study to identify program-specific factors associated with healthy changes in students' eating habits. The importance of the study is that long-term health implications may be caused by challenges to healthy eating during the transition to college (Kelly, Mazzeo, & Bean, 2013, p. 304). The study, originally consisting of 936 articles, was then narrowed down to include 14 student research articles that met certain criteria established by the authors. “The criteria for inclusion in this review were studies that evaluated the effectiveness of the educational intervention, program, or course intended to improve the eating or nutritional habits of graduate/undergraduate students” (p. 305). The method the researchers used was to evaluate different interventions and target dietary outcomes. They reviewed the articles to determine how effective the interventions were in improving college students' eating habits. The results of the study determined that although many intervention methods were used, behavior change was primarily dependent on environmental, personal, and behavioral factors (p. 310). Some limitations in the study that could have affected the results were that the man… in the center of the paper… er. Now that I have started eating again as before the fast, I feel more tired and weak and not at my full potential and I would like to return to better eating habits. After reading this article, my plans and goals haven't changed much, but it has motivated me as I start to lose ground since it is so similar to the behavior change I want. I've learned that support groups can be helpful in keeping you motivated and accountable when trying to achieve a goal like this. I'm also keeping a food diary like some students have done and will try to think about the negative consequences next time I have a piece of chocolate. Works Cited Kelley, N. R., Mazzeo, S.
