Adherence
Internet-delivered personalized nutrition interventions produce larger and more sustained improvements in dietary behavior compared to standard 'one-size-fits-all' healthy eating advice.
Use a personalized nutrition service delivered online rather than generic diet advice. The Food4Me study showed that tailoring advice to your specific diet and health data leads to better, longer-lasting changes in eating habits than standard guidelines. Ensure the service is internet-based for scalability.
GoodSupportsHIGH confidence
Compared with the Control (standardised healthy eating advice), those people randomised to a personalised nutrition intervention had bigger, sustained changes, in eating behaviour after 6 months.
Why this rating
Based on the Food4Me study, a large-scale (n>1600) randomized controlled trial, though limited to 6 months.
