“Motivation is the key to lifestyle changes
Healthcare professionals do rightly assume that individuals should work with them to adopt healthier lifestyles, a mandate now part of the NHS 10 year plan. At the same time, practitioners report lacking the training, time and confidence to successfully help patients do this, and they are not changing how they talk to patients about lifestyle changes.”

In the context of people smoking despite knowing it is bad for their health, this sort of approach might be just fine.

However I’m concerned that this message will not help the situation for ME patients.

The article is by Diet Doctor - a site that is run by doctors who promote the Keto/LowCarb diet for improving overall health. I usually find their articles helpful.

This is more concerning. I think it is their description of the NHS 10 year plan, linked at the top of the article.
