The only way they are going to break the habit is by doing it. Giving them a pill that makes them lose weight is doing nothing for them but making them stay there lazy selfs. They have to change there lifestyle and diet, the pill will not do that for them.
Im no expert with this stuff, but in the main I very much agree with this (Im sure there's the odd exception).
I'm not over weight, in fact my limbs are pretty scrawny, but I would have a higher body fat percentage than I should and I know I can improve that, and relatively quickly because I've done it before .. But it really is laziness and a lack of sustained determination to consume the right foods, right amounts and exercise regularly enough on my behalf, if Im honest with myself.
Breaking habits or forming better ones, can be hard to do sometimes, but I reckon that's the hardest part because the training and eating really isn't so difficult.
