Unless we're talking about emergency care, most pharmaceuticals are completely unnecessary and carry serious risks.

There's not a single qualified doctor out there that would promote drugs before preventative measures.

Pretty much every adult fat person has attempted diet and exercise to resolve their weight issue.

Saying they should try this first at this point in the game is like having your support case escalated 5 times already and them saying "have you tried turning it off and on again"

If it's not working for you, it may be because you haven't sorted the "diet" bit.

Are you eating "low fat" or "low calorie" things? Because those are not food and they will make you fat.

Eat food, just a bit less of it than you do now.

Obviously the calories in are greater than the calories out if the diet doesn't work.

That's not the point.

The point is the vast majority of overweight and obese people try to diet and do not succeed in it.
