Final Answer : C , Explanation :  Keeping a food diary (either traditional or online),reviewing nutritional intake (both food selections and serving size),and patterns of consumption have all been shown to assist clients in decreasing dietary intake.Sugar-sweetened beverages (e.g.,soda,fruit juices,fruit drinks,and energy drinks)have a high concentration of empty calories and minimal micronutrients.Setting realistic,measurable goals that are shared with family members (accountability)increases the likelihood of success.Increased exercise and reduced sedentary activities (e.g.,screen time),coupled with reduced dietary intake with improved food quality,tend to result in weight loss.
