> doctors prescribe pills over a lifestyle change does doctors prescribing lifestyle change have any noticeable effects though. I assume everyone already knows they need to 'eat better and exercise'. I am not convinced that doctor telling them this will finally make it sink in for anyone. Also, most doctors have layman level understanding of nutrition and excercise and many of them are not in best shape themselves.
