Self Monitoring Assignment Help

You can select a medical problem needing a dietary modification and follow the diet for 3 days. Self-monitor using a 3-day food diary including meals, snacks and beverages. Submit the materials with your written comments on the effects of self-monitoring on a modified diet. In addition, investigate resources available to support someone with the specified medical condition and include those resources in your final report. This activity is also about sharing the “lived experience” of following a particular meal plan. For example, how did other individuals in the house respond to you changing your meal pattern, were they supportive, did you have a difficult time meal planning and/or finding foods that would fit?
How did you approach eating out or how would you approach eating out while on this meal plan?

May also want to consider discussing what life might be like for those individuals on a special diet during this time of quarantine. Some of you suggested that in some ways it might be easier because we can not eat out, other people may find it more difficult to meal plan given the limitations on shopping. Given our current circumstances what coaching would you provide someone via a telehealth platform to help your client manage their meal pattern for their medical condition while in quarantine?
