Dietary pattern studies are traditionally the domain of epidemiological research. Rather than being focused on nutrients, these studies focus on foods. From a clinical dietetic perspective, there is a need to explore the effects of changing food and dietary patterns of individuals. This will help provide evidence for clinical practice where dietitians give advice about foods. My aim is to identify patterns of food choice behaviour in the context of a clinical weight loss trial.

My paper in this area will be published soon.
