Damn I have no idea, how long it would take but I can tell you the fat should drop pretty damn fast once he gets in gear. Its easy to drop fat when you at such a high BF%, I definitly say appetite surpressants would probably do the most good. I agree the stimulants are probably not a good idea yet. Start out walking alot.

Good luck to him, really hope he stays motivated.

No doubt about it, ketogenic diets are tough. But they are meant for the short term, certainly not the long term.

His metabolism needs to be rekindled, more than anything. If he eats 5-6 meals a day, eats clean, and starts walking (carefully, as it's a lot of strain on his feet and knees), he will improve and drop fat. Very heavy people actually don't always eat that much, but their metabolisms are so slow, everything they eat goes straight to fat.

Ketogenic diets work well for very heavy people because they can feel satisfied--the psychological aspects of being this size and then dieting are devastating! Show a little compassion, guys--it's no fun at that size.

Big Cal--hang in there--the first week or so of low carb is a drag, but it gets much better! Frankly--any healthy diet you follow will make changes for you. Good Luck!

I disagree with what has been said so far. I would advise him to start out slowly eating 5-6 times a day, which he probably does anyway, and lower calories gradually. It will be easy because he probably eats terrible shit anyway. Instead of eating crap 5 times a day, let him eat crap once a day and eventually he will clean up his other eating habbits.

I've worked with a friend of mine named Steve that weighed 290lbs at 5'8. This was in High School. We made a couple of modifications (No more twinkies and little debbies, eating more good food at lunch and much less at dinner, eating dinner earlier, drinking more water..etc), and he dropped 30 lbs within a few weeks with practically no effort. Let him make small modifications, and eventually he will be able to get on a real diet and exercise program.

Oh yeah, the appetite supp. is a must.

 

[irvinbbbb]

can somebody mention the names of appetite suppresants, seems everybody is familiar with them except me

If you're looking for over the counter products here are my recommendations. Adipo-Kinetic, Lipo-Kinetic, Hydroxicut, or Extreme Ripped Fuel.

NOTE: Due to his BP, these products may not be advisable. Also, the Adipo and Lipo-Kinetic products tend to be a bit much for the beginner. I've known people to get sick from taking them.

Hope this helps and good luck...

p.s. I dropped from 210 to 175 in 3 months from cardio adn dieting, so you can definatly see results with just a little effort.
