Maintaining -- refers to efforts employed by teammates to maintain a newly designed method of individual nutrition intake.
Explanation. Maintaining does not refer to maintaining past habits. The basic assumption is that most, if not all past habits are less than ideal.
To determine the appropriate efforts to employ we should explore research on:
· satisfaction levels of diets: at what point do they tapper, and how might that information strategically impact a maintenance plan
· social norms of food: the habits associated with eating. The how, (e.g. in front of the TV, in the car, with friends, family influences, etc.)
· change elements: what is required for lasting change. How is human change behavior sustainable (e.g. why do so many diets fads)
Measures of ‘Maintaining’
· Quality of initial plan
· Teammate agreeableness with plan
· Ease of implementation
· Degrees of compliance (e.g. total disregard for newly designed method of nutrition intake, 80% compliant, or following the plan by the book)
