Are weight loss physicians concerned about my health as well as my weight?

Patients who said their doctor talked to them about their weight were more likely to report clinically significant weight loss, according to our findings. Overweight and obese people who have been told they are overweight by their doctor are nearly twice as likely to report a 5% weight loss in the previous year - a weight loss amount that has been shown to significantly improve the comorbidities associated with being overweight or obese. Furthermore, overweight and obese people are more than twice as likely to report a 10% weight decrease in the previous year. Previous research has found a link between physicians' discussions of overweight and obese weight status and patients' views of their own weight and desire to reduce weight
