4. Discussion
This study provides unique data on adherence to the dietary component of a multi-component intervention in obese adolescents and is one of the few adolescent intervention studies to consider eating behavior and dietary intake changes in the 12 month period following intervention. Further, this study used three day food records to provide detailed dietary change data for overweight adolescents. The main findings were that a large proportion of participants adhered to the key components of the dietary intervention, with modest dietary changes seen following intervention and lessening over time.
