All I'm saying is that if a doctor advises a patient to lose weight, they should give them all the information available on how to lose the weight and get healthy. What would be so hard about giving a patient a diet and exercise plan to follow? Obesity is a form of sickness. If I went to a doctor for dealing with migranes, I would expect them to do more than just say "You have to get rid of those migranes".

Point to me a single person... ONE SINGLE PERSON who does not know that if you eat more calories than you burn you will gain weight.
It's not migraine headaches, it's simply eating too much and exercising too little. There's nothing to explain at this point, everyone knows. Fat people especially know they need to work out. I went through a back surgery and I couldnt work out for 1.5 years, I got fat. Afterwards I lost 40lbs in 3 weeks because *gasp* I burned more calories than I took in.

Also, some people are overweight due to stress, a malfunctioning thyroid, and allergies to some foods. Diet can help, but what diet? Most people don't even know they have these problems.

Stress does not make you gain weight, allowing it to prevent you from working out and eating right does.
VERY VERY VERY few people have the excuse of thyroid problems, not the 1/3 of Americans that are overweight.
And allergies? So you're allergic to broccoli... so you eat a dozen donuts a day? Please explain that logic.
And they dont know they have problems? If they wake up in the morning and can not find their penis.. no one is going to say they didnt know they're fat.
