Question

for overweight adults, a reasonable weight loss is ______. select one a. ½ pound per day b. ½ to 2 pounds per week c. ½ to 2 pounds per month d. 1 pound per day e. 10 percent of body weight per month

Explanation:

In the field of health (under Natural Science, Medicine and Health subfield), a reasonable weight loss for overweight adults is typically ½ to 2 pounds per week. Rapid weight loss (like options A, D, E) is not healthy or sustainable, and losing ½ - 2 pounds per month (option C) is too slow. Option B aligns with health guidelines for safe, sustainable weight loss.

Answer:

B. ½ to 2 pounds per week
