Yet since she has read numerous books on nutrition she may be willing to follow the instructions of nutrition professionals. “An athlete needs to be convinced of the important role that diet can have in health and Performance before dietary changes will be considered.”(Aerenhouts, 2011, p.82) Her coach is working to persuade her to do the right thing however she will need to eventually realize for herself what is best.

Part 1 The way people perceive taste is impacted by a number of factors. These include, but are not limited to, age, weight, hormones, sickness and disease, smoking, and diet. Diet is the factor that this paper focuses on. Diet is impacted by the way people taste in that people are used to eating a certain amount of additives and preservatives.

A specific behavioral objective will be to decrease her serving size at meals and eat only 100 calories each for a morning and afternoon snack. Because the patient has not attended any formal education classes since her diagnosis, it would be beneficial for J.M. to be referred to a nutritionist in order to reinforce the information that she has as well as enlighten her on proper portion size and healthy snacks (AACE, 2011).
