We know that young people go on diets all the time.

 

However, there's never been a study that asks young people about their dieting experiences and monitors how dieting impacts their health.

​

Knowing more about this will help us work out what makes some dieting behaviours continue and some stop; what behaviours might be harmful and what might be beneficial.

 

You can help researchers at the University of Sydney better understand dieting practices in young people and how these might affect your body and mind.

​

If you are aged 16 – 25 years, an Australian resident and are about to start a diet, you can join our study to learn about the changes in your body and mind that may influence the outcome of your diet.

 

This is an observational study only and will not impact how you choose to diet or if you choose to stop.

​

There are two parts to this study which you can be involved in:  

Part 1 - Online Surveys & Diaries – online questionnaires and diaries to track your dieting experience, once a month for 6 months – Available to any eligible participant in Australia
