Which strategy will the doctor most likely recommend to help the patient reduce his weight in a healthy way? A doctor confirms that a patient is overweight after performing multiple tests and calculating the patient’s body mass index (BMI).

A weight-loss support group can help the patient set realistic goals, stay motivated, and make sustainable changes with encouragement from others. A workout plan that is only followed when there is extra time may be inconsistent, and eating fruit just once a week is not a healthy eating plan. Increasing overall food consumption would not generally help reduce weight.
