Weight loss

Patient: I want to work on losing weight.
Me: Awesome! Do you have plans of how to do it?
Patient: Yeah, I was actually hoping you could tell me a bit about a medication called Adipex
Me: Oh, where did you hear about that?
Patient: Someone I know got it from their doc and lost a couple of pounds
Me: Well, to be honest with you, diet and exercise is a better approach to weight loss
Patient: I've tried that, and it doesn't work for me
Me: How much do you exercise a day?
Patient: Well, I work all day, and I walk around quite a bit at work so I don't really need to exercise
Me: Okay. How about diet?  How many fruits and vegetables are you eating each day?
Patient: I don't really like fruits and vegetables, but I eat a lot of chicken, rice, and pasta and stuff like that.  I try to stay away from fast food.
Me: That's a good start, but you'll need to balance your diet out a little more with greens and fruits
Patient: Okay
Me: How about water?  Are you drinking enough water each day?
Patient: How much is enough?
Me: You should ideally be drinking about 2 liters, which is about 4 of those regular Ice Mountain bottles
Patient: Wow, no, I don't drink that much water.
Me: Do you think we could get you there?
Patient: I'll try
Me: Great, so let's set those as our goals for the next visit: At least 2 fruits, 2 veggies, 2 liters of water.  And why don't you add a bit of walking after work each day?  You don't have to go far, just a mile or two each day.  That's like 15-30 minutes.
Patient: Alright.  So do you think I'll be able to use the Adipex?
