TL;DR
Interventions targeted to stage of change have the potential for accelerating the rate of change for dietary fat reduction, but reaching the goal of fat intake < or = 30% of total energy may require more intensive interventions than a single dietary feedback report.
Abstract
Interventions targeted to stage of change have the potential for accelerating the rate of change for dietary fat reduction, but reaching the goal of fat intake < or = 30% of total energy may require more intensive interventions than a single dietary feedback report.

Correlations are similar to those observed between food frequency questionnaires and four-day diet records, which suggests that this approach to developing and administering short dietary questionnaires may be useful in situations where more expensive and time-consuming methods of dietary assessment are not practical.

According to these data, diets of most adults do not conform to current dietary guidelines, and nutrition education efforts should be directed to all adults, and research should be undertaken to determine more effective ways to help adults improve their overall dietary quality.

To compare individuals self-staged in the precontemplation, contemplation, and preparation stages of change to individuals who staged themselves into action and maintenance but did not meet the behavioral criterion for assignment to these post-action stages ofchange, a proactively recruited random sample of 4S1 adults living in Massachusetts was administered.
