How would you want your doctor to talk to you about weight loss?

I'm a medical student interested in learning more about opening the conversation about weight loss. The majority of patients I see in primary care clinic are obese and I've seen many physicians dance around the topic of weight loss with basic information, but there's little in the way of checking in and seeing if and how a patient was successful.

Has a medical professional ever talked to you about losing weight? What were some successful and not-so-successful strategies?

Thanks for your input!

Side note: Something else I'm interested in is learning how to talk to patients about using intermittent fasting as a technique to lose weight. Many of us eat because it's eating time and have forgotten what it's like to be hungry.
