"Focus only on calorie counting to change your eating habits."

"You should avoid all your favorite foods to ensure weight loss success."

Answer and Explanation

The Correct Answer is B

A. "You need to weigh yourself multiple times a day to stay accountable."

Weighing multiple times a day can lead to obsession, anxiety, and is not recommended.

B. "Try to set small, realistic goals like walking 10 minutes a day and gradually increasing time and/or steps, a step tracker is a great tool to monitor your progress."

This reflects SMART goal setting and self-monitoring, both are effective behavior modification techniques.

C. "Focus only on calorie counting to change your eating habits."

Calorie counting alone does not promote long-term behavior change. A holistic approach is more effective.

D. "You should avoid all your favorite foods to ensure weight loss success."

Restricting all favorite foods can lead to cravings and binge eating. Moderation is encouraged.
