Usually in the U.S. that would be called "a diet plan." "Reducing" to describe weight loss is British English; we don't say that in the U.S.

@ObstreperousB "reduce" for "lose weight by dieting" is marked as "Especially American English" in most online dictionaries.

@Hunky-dory Really? That's bizarre. Maybe it was used more in the earlier part of the 20th century? It's definitely not a current American usage.

@Hunky-dory Yes, that makes sense. I misremembered seeing it in older American sources, and assumed it was British instead.
