These days doctors hesitate to mention weight loss, even to morbidly obese patients. Most of the patients they try to reason with will then find another doctor who won’t bring up the topic. So the drs stay quiet and watch their patients die sooner. My doctor is overweight, maybe obese. I suggest he should set a better example for his patients.

Take his advice if it works.

My doctor keeps giving me ridiculous advice, like eat less and exercise more. You’d think after 35 years he’d know better.

More Doctors need to tell their patients to lose weight , but people don’t want to hear the truth. Your Fat!

A friend’s doctor, who’s known him for decades, really laid him out, calling him a fat ….. That really got my friend’s attention.
