A member asked:

What are things i can do to lose weight when diet and exercise don't work?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

See details: Diet and exercise work. If it doesn't that means you are not dieting correctly. In other words, you are cheating. Minimize carbs (no breads, pasta, cheese, sweets, desserts, fast food, snacking between meals, etc.). Also, control portion size.
