This chapter will describes the first changes the reader must make in order to get started with CBT-AR, including:

Self-monitoring of food intake to identify problematic ARFID eating patterns (e.g., meal skipping, going for long periods without eating, repeatedly eating the same foods over and over)
Establishing a pattern of regular eating
Increasing variety with initial easy wins (e.g., bringing back recently dropped foods, introducing small but meaningful variations in preferred foods)
Increasing volume by adding 500 calories per day of preferred foods (only if underweight)
