Balancing client desires with health goals

Clients are given a choice between drinking and sticking to their health goals. They are educated on the consequences of drinking and encouraged to make an informed decision. The approach focuses on accountability without imposing compensation actions for indulgences. Emphasis is placed on maintaining a healthy relationship with food and being aware of the impact of decisions on long-term goals. The discussion also addresses the negative effects of alcohol on metabolism and the potential for a downward spiral in maintaining progress if indulgences are not managed effectively.
