A. increasing intake of saturated fats and limiting fiber to reduce digestive stress B. Consuming a high-protein, low-carbohydrate diet with minimal physical activity C.

Choice C:

Relying on vitamin supplements and avoiding all sources of dietary fat: This ignores whole food nutrition. Some fats (e.g., omega-3s) are heart-healthy and essential for metabolic function.
