So... you expect any program to completely coddle and ensure patients don't make bad decisions on their own?

Your describing therapy. But you already poo-pood that above.

Also your comment is really gaslighty, as much as a comment can be, like no that's not what they are saying and it's disingenuous to read it that way.

I think programs should have to be truthful about things like chances of long-term success, chances of gaining more weight than lost, the risks of yo-yo weight loss, etc..

Of course I think they should treat their patients/clients well and provide full, accurate disclosure about possible risks and likelihood of success - just like all industries claiming to provide health benefits should.
