“…Further, self-directed dieters may not be aware of the different satiating properties of various macronutrients and not include satiating foods (e.g., high protein or high bre foods) which help with adherence (48, 49) and may improve outcomes (e.g., weightloss, body composition; 20,50,51). Unguided in their diet journey, self-directed dieters may also take a rigid approach (e.g., complete abstinence from forbidden foods) towards dietary restriction, which has been linked with greater food cravings (52), overeating (53), weight regain (54) and diet abandonment (42).…”

“…Further, driven by the underlying motivation for dieting, the chosen diet rules may also affect outcomes and compliance depending on whether the anticipated bene ts of dieting (e.g., improvement in acne or general wellbeing) are perceived to be realized using these methods, with dieters who fail to see expected results potentially terminating the diet (41). Unsupervised dieters may also be more likely to have unrealistic expectations, perhaps placing them at greater risk of diet abandonment (42).…”

Background Self-directed dieting (i.e., unsupervised) is very common among adolescents and young adults but has had almost no direct research. This paper describes the protocol for the My Diet Study, a two-arm observational investigation of the natural progression of dieting among young people over a period of 6-months. The study aims to examine the links between self-directed dieting, general physiological and psychological metrics of wellbeing (e.g., depressive symptoms) and biomarkers of gut-brain axis functions (e.g., microbiome and hormones) that are predicted to influence diet adherence through appetite, mood and metabolism regulation. Methods Young people aged 16-25, intending to start a diet will be invited to participate in this observational study. For Part 1 (psychological arm), participants will be asked to complete a set of questionnaires and diaries at the beginning of every month for 6 months, to assess overall mental (e.g., psychological distress, disordered eating) and physical (e.g., weight) health, perceived diet success, food intake and gastrointestinal movements. For Part 2 (biological arm), a subsample of 50 participants will be asked to provide faeces, blood and saliva for bio-sampling each month for the first 3-months of their participation in Part 1. Discussion The My Diet Study will be the first longitudinal, observational study of dieting in young people combining in-depth psychological and biological data. It is anticipated that the findings will yield psychological & biological information about the impacts and effectiveness of self-directed dieting in young people, inform a framework for advice on safety in dieting among young people and help to establish the potential for biomarkers for risk management and improvement of diet-based lifestyle interventions.

“…Self-directed dieters may not be aware of the different satiating properties of various macronutrients and not include satiating foods (e.g., high protein or high fiber foods) which help with adherence (24, 25) and may improve outcomes [e.g., weight-loss, body composition (26)(27)(28)]. Unguided in their diet journey, self-directed dieters may also take a rigid approach (e.g., complete abstinence from forbidden foods) toward dietary restriction, which has been linked with greater food cravings (29), overeating (30), weight regain (31) and diet abandonment (32). While dieting is a chosen behavior, driven partly by top-down processes [e.g., self-control (33)], there are many unconscious influences which may also determine compliance and outcomes.…”
