“…Self-monitoring appears to be a relevant strategy to change eating behaviours linked to weight loss (e.g., Baker & Kirschenbaum, 1993;Butryn et al, 2011), especially when participants used a paper and pencil food diary for recording their food consumption (Burke, Wang, & Sevick, 2011;Helsel, Jakicic, & Otto, 2007). To date, studies that used SMS for reminding individuals to monitor RMC have not been conducted.…”

Rationale: The present studies aimed to contribute to the literature on psychological variables involved in reducing red meat consumption (RMC).Objective: Study 1 investigated whether the theory of planned behaviour (TPB), plus healthy-eating and meat-eating identities, could explain intentions to reduce RMC. Study 2 evaluated the effectiveness of an SMS intervention on self-monitoring to reduce RMC.Methods: In Study 1, data were collected daily using online food diaries for one week and a TPB questionnaire. Study 2 was a randomised controlled trial assessing pre and post RMC and TPB constructs by online food diaries and questionnaires over a one-week period. Participants were Italian undergraduates in each study (Study 1: N = 405; Study 2: N = 244). In Study 2, participants were randomly allocated to control and message condition groups. Participants in the message condition group received a daily SMS, which reminded them to monitor RMC, while participants in the control group did not receive any message. Only students who completed all measures were considered in the analyses (Study 1: N = 342; Study 2: N = 228).Results: Study 1 showed that affective and instrumental attitudes, perceived behavioural control and meat-eating identity explained intentions to reduce RMC, while subjective norm, past behaviour and healthy-eating identity did not. Study 2 showed that an SMS intervention was effective in increasing intentions and reducing RMC. Mediation analyses indicated partial serial mediation through healthy-eating and meat-eating identities and intentions.Conclusion: The present studies provide support for the predictive validity of TPB in explaining intentions to reduce RMC and for the efficacy of an SMS intervention targeting self-monitoring in reducing RMC. Findings confirmed the important role of eating identities in explaining intentions to reduce RMC and in changing this behaviour.

“…Due to the waxing and waning course of many chronic disorders such as obesity [3], for example, a treatment that demonstrates short-term weight loss for an individual may not lead to weight loss in the long-term even if the individual remains on the same treatment (within-person heterogeneity; [4]). In addition, not all individuals will respond or adhere to the weight loss treatment to the same degree, have the same side effect profile (e.g., in the case of weight loss medications), or respond within the same time-frame, to any given treatment or package of treatments (between-persons heterogeneity; [5,6].…”

The management of many health disorders often entails a sequential, individualized approach whereby treatment is adapted and readapted over time in response to the specific needs and evolving status of the individual. Adaptive interventions provide one way to operationalize the strategies (e.g., continue, augment, switch, step-down) leading to individualized sequences of treatment. Often, a wide variety of critical questions must be answered when developing a highquality adaptive intervention. Yet, there is often insufficient empirical evidence or theoretical basis to address these questions. The Sequential Multiple Assignment Randomized Trial (SMART)-a type of research design-was developed explicitly for the purpose of building optimal adaptive interventions by providing answers to such questions. Despite increasing popularity, SMARTs remain relatively new to intervention scientists. This manuscript provides an introduction to adaptive interventions and SMARTs. We discuss SMART design considerations, including common primary and secondary aims. For illustration, we discuss the development of an adaptive intervention for optimizing weight loss among adult individuals who are overweight. KEYWORDS

“…A number of strategies are recommended to achieve weight loss, and individuals are encouraged to combine a reduced-energy diet, increased physical activity and behavioral therapy [2]. Treatments that target eating behavior should be included in the first line of intervention for individuals who are overweight and obese [2] and behavioral weight loss programs have been shown to induce a 5-10% weight loss [3]. Several behavioral aspects of eating, including disinhibition, restraint and hunger, have been identified and examined as potentially important factors in weight loss and weight maintenance [4][5][6][7].…”

Background: Understanding how diet composition and personal characteristics relate to eating behaviors of individuals in weight loss programs could better inform the development and expectations of prescribed weight loss regimens. The purpose of this study was to examine whether diet composition has a significant effect on eating behaviors of individuals participating in a weight loss intervention and what characteristics significantly correlate with changes in such behaviors.
