Why may very strict goals reduce adherence in a modified diet?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: The patient may find them difficult to follow practically in daily life
Goals that ignore the patient’s routine, budget, food access, culture, preferences, skills, or family situation may be difficult to sustain. Repeated failure can reduce motivation and adherence. Practical counselling therefore uses specific, gradual, measurable, and achievable goals, while preserving medical safety and nutrient adequacy. Strictness alone does not improve adherence, so option A is correct.
