c. adopting a daily exercise regimen
d. establishing healthy eating habits
please select the best answer from the choices provided.
a
b
c
d

Explanation:

• Option A: An exercise partner can provide motivation and accountability, which are beneficial for weight - loss efforts.
• Option B: Buying new, smaller clothes is more of a result - oriented or future - looking action that does not directly contribute to the physical process of losing weight (like burning calories or reducing calorie intake).
• Option C: A daily exercise regimen helps burn calories, increase metabolism, and build muscle (which in turn burns more calories at rest), all of which aid in weight loss.
• Option D: Healthy eating habits (such as controlling portion sizes, choosing nutrient - dense foods, and reducing calorie - dense, low - nutrient foods) are crucial for weight loss as weight loss is often about creating a calorie deficit.

Answer:

B. buying newer, smaller clothes
