Are you ready to make some changes?

Indicate on a scale of 1 to 10 how ready you are to make a change. 10 means that you are very ready, and 1 means that you are not ready at all. Here are some ideas to help you get started:

• Check the food label when I buy products to find those with little or no trans fat.
• Add more fish to my diet.
• Add more fiber to my diet by eating more fruits/vegetables and whole grain foods each day.
• Consult my provider about which fish oil, ALA supplements, or other products could help me lower my risk for heart disease.

If you said 3 or less, ask yourself what would need to happen for you to become more ready to make some changes.

If you said 4-6, ask yourself shat are some of the advantages of keeping things the same and not making any changes? What are some of the advantages of eating a healthier diet?

If you said 7-10, ask yourself what is the next step to create a realistic plan to eat healthier? Who can support you as you make changes?
