Which of the following is NOT a goal of a therapeutic diet?

  1. Regulating blood sugar levels

  2. Reducing cholesterol levels

  3. Minimizing symptoms of a disease

  4. Promoting weight gain without limits

The correct answer is: Promoting weight gain without limits

A therapeutic diet is tailored to help manage and improve specific health conditions or diseases. Goals of a therapeutic diet typically include regulating blood sugar levels for individuals with diabetes, reducing cholesterol levels for individuals with high cholesterol or heart disease, and minimizing symptoms of a disease such as managing gastrointestinal issues with specific food choices. On the other hand, promoting weight gain without limits is not a typical goal of a therapeutic diet as it could lead to negative health outcomes such as obesity or exacerbate certain health conditions.
