Another issue is compliance. If a doctor could say: eat 2000 calories a day and break a sweat for 30 minutes, and expect people to do it, the general population would look totally different.

Compliance isn't the issue. Food Inc. marketing is. As is, humans naturally assimilate to "the norm." As the waistline of the norm increase, the waistline of the norm increases. A doctor's words lose meaning when all other inputs say "Don't worry about it. You're just like everyone else."
Long to short, what used to save us, is now doing us in.
Well, at least in the fasting, it's a complete break with tradition. No scripts. No Big Pharma outfit marketing it. Etc.
My feelimg is, many doctors are wired to want to take action. The idea of something as simple as "I want you to fast every other" is completely foreign to them.
