The presentation will discuss how research can support us in understanding how to successfully promote dietary change toward a whole food plant-based diet. This includes drawing on the most comprehensive model of behaviour change, the Behaviour Change Wheel, and exploring the realms of social consumption theories and practice theories. This will include exploring the commons barriers and motives to dietary change, as well as the process individuals may take in reducing / eliminating their reliance on animal-based and processed foods. Thus, the goal of the presentation will be not only to help participants understand what research says, but how this can be directly applied when supporting others or themselves in pursuing a healthier diet.
