Question

a doctor confirms that a patient is overweight after performing multiple tests and calculating the patient’s body mass index (bmi).
which strategy will the doctor most likely recommend to help the patient reduce his weight in a healthy way?
○ follow a workout plan if there is extra time in the day
○ eat one serving of fruit each week
○ follow a diet that increases food consumption
○ join a weight - loss support group

Explanation:

To determine the best strategy, we analyze each option:

• "Follow a workout plan if there is extra time" is inconsistent (needs regular exercise, not just extra time).
• "Eat one serving of fruit each week" is insufficient (recommended fruit intake is more, and this doesn't address overall diet/exercise).
• "Follow a diet that increases food consumption" is counterproductive for weight loss.
• "Join a weight - loss support group" provides accountability, shared tips, and motivation, which is a proven healthy strategy for weight management.

Answer:

D. Join a weight - loss support group.
