Table 2.

Fading Rules

Rule	Description
1	If the target snack retains rank 1, move onto the next fading step.
2	If the rank of the target food drops from rank 1 to ranks of 2 or 3 and remains at rank 2 or 3 for two consecutive sessions, progress to the next fading step. If the rank of the target food drops from rank 1 to ranks of 2 or 3 and intermittently occupies two of these ranks for four consecutive sessions, progress to the next fading step.
3	If the target food drops to rank 4 or 5, return to the previous fading step and remain there until the target food is ranked 1, 2, or 3 for three consecutive sessions.
4	If you return to the previous fading step three times, remain at that step until the rankings are stable and end the assessment.
5	During return to baseline, if the target food drops to rank 2 or 3, return to Step 20 and continue following fading rules.
6	During the return to baseline, if the target food drops to rank 4 or lower, return to Step 20 and add additional, more incremental fading steps.
