Obese Mexican-Americans Lack Diet, Exercise Advice From Doctors

They are the lucky ones since diet and exercise advice from doctors is bulls**t. (e.g., see here, here, here and here)
Only half of obese Mexican-American adults receive diet and exercise advice from their physicians, a new study finds, although obesity is on the rise for this group.

"Among this obese population, not seeing 100 percent of people receiving advice is discouraging. There is a much higher risk of having negative health consequences," said Ha Nguyen, Ph.D., an assistant professor of family and community medicine at the Wake Forest School of Medicine.
Precisely the opposite of correct.

Physician weight loss and exercise advice will result in "a much higher risk of having negative health consequences."
