It's a lifestyle, the optimal basic lifestyle, the one were you don't shorten your life/healthspan by decades. It's how thing were intended to be really.
It's funny how proposing an healthy diet is unrealistic and watching fatties eat themselves to death is the new normal, complete value inversion and looser mentality
Lifestyle changes are essentially standard medical advice. There is nothing wrong with proposing diet and exercise.
It's just that you should probably suggest other treatments in addition to the lifestyle changes that have relatively low long term efficacy.
Of course, that assumes your goal is to actually help the fatties instead of judging them.

I don't believe that's possible. They have to choose a healthier lifestyle by themselves.
It's not that people are fat because no one told them to eat healthy and exercise sometimes. They're fat because they have ignored that advice for a long time.
They aren't missing information about diet and exercise, they're missing diet and exercise.
You don't believe it's possible? Obviously it's possible! Look around, we have what are essentially miracle drugs available, and you are still pushing ideas that have mostly failed for the last 50 years!

You believe incorrectly.

Ah yes, the medical equivalent of "works on my machine".
You've now shifted from "how effective is this treatment" to "whose fault is it when the treatment doesn't work".
You will be able to help the fatties when you shift back into asking the question that matters.

you don’t seem amused so much as annoyed.
perhaps you can elaborate on how systemic death spirals are funny?
