If someone's overweight to begin with that means they don't get much exercise.. changing eating habbits AND trying to add exercise into it is too much for most people (as proven by the number of people that actually accomplish it).
Why is it bad to learn the correct amount of food to eat, eat that correct amount to maintain a low weight, and then when closer to a normal weight with more energy they can increase their activity levels. Or even if they don't, they still know how much they can eat to maintian a good weight.

People don't accomplish it because of the North American lifestyle. This is another discussion for another day. They number of overweight people in North America is WAY more than Europe and they eat way worst than we do.
Being overweight in most cases is a choice. I used to be really fat. I made changes. If someone has bad knees there are other forms of exercise (not as efficient, but still do work) that they can do like those fancy run/stepper things you see at gyms.
Sorry if I ofended anyone here, but to exercise regularly and eat right is not hard. It is just a choice. Instead of sitting on the couch all day or at a pub go for a walk if that is all you can do at the very least.
