The vast majority of people who lose a substantial amount of weight through calorie restriction gain it all back and then some within a few years. Though they do lose in the short run (say, 6 months), they're worse off three years later than if they had never dieted at all. This simple fact - that dieting doesn't work in the long run - suggests that telling people to lose weight simply by dieting is BAD ADVICE.
Given that doctors are giving people bad advice, there's still plenty of room for people to try to come up with BETTER advice.

That seems pretty obviously false - there's more we know now and there's much much more we could know, even if we don't know it yet. Before that, you wrote: > Obviously, for long term results, it's best to eat good food, exercise regularly and do both with moderation. What exactly constitutes "good food" is one of the things under discussion and is something else "there is to know on this topic". Whether it's "best" to do both "with moderation" depends on how the terms are defined and what your goals are. For instance, it might well be better to exercise irregularly than regularly.
