any suggestions for a guy like this?

[fiatconspiracy]

The thing is the guy doesnt want to lose the weight too fast cause he is left with a lot of extra skin and then faces surgery, I think first is to go talk to a psychologist cause this MF has some serious "issues" with food, but when you are this fat it is easy to lose fat,, hell if he got down to 300lbs he would feel like a new man, the thing is he has to lift weights ,even if he just starts with the bar cause he needs to gain muscle volume to fill in the empty space that is created by the fat leaving , Probably in 3 years he would be at a bodyfat percentage he would be happy with but when you are this fat is more more a question of your mental health than your physical health, people who do this to them selves usually have more going on than a love of food! He might have to start talking about his feelings!!!! lol

thats what my PT said, but i think its to gay bro

but i mean why would that help? i mean i find out i eat cause i wasnt loved or some shit, so what what can i do about that? u get what i mean? ...your right about we can lose alot of weight with out effert. i lost 40-45lbs in 2 months just cleaning my diet and training. no cardio. so yeah it is easy but like problem is when im on one diet, i start to think what if theres better diet? and then switch...then when im on that diet i start to think maybe the other way was better? and switch again...ohh and inbetween i cheat and binge cause of all the yo yo stuff.... its hard mentally but physical is very easy.

For people this size a diet is not the solution, it's a gradual lifestyle change. At that point your body is dying to lose weight, instead of eating 2 supersized value meals, eating a large hamburger with no fries and a diet coke would make a huge difference.

I started dieting at 210lbs at 5'9 in the 20% BF range. I didn't go on a diet right away. I lost 6 lbs in 2 months by cutting out late night snacks and soda with meals, and eating 5 meals instead of 3-4. When I got down to 204, I joined a gym and started doing cardio in the morning, and working on a balanced meal plan. I got down to 195 within 2 months, eating 6 balanced meals, and drinking 2 gallons of water a day. I took up weight lifting again, focusing on rehabilatating my injured shoulder. After taking a week off, I started a more sophisticated and strict diet of carb rotation. I did it for a month and I went down to 191 actually gaining muscle in the process. I then added an ec stack for another month, and went down to 188 after the first week, and going too far with the dieting I lost some muscle and went down to 183. I freaked out, and I gradually got off my diet, and gained all the muscle back and then some.

I am now 191lbs and gainning muscle every day and I am leaner than ever.

The first day back to the gym, I couldn't even press 20 lb dbs. Now, 2-3 months later I'm pressing 70 lb dbs. I may not be using as much weight as I did before my injury, but I am improving everyday.

I forgot what my point was!

Oh, yeah losing weight is a gradual process. Someone who is 12% BF looking to lose fat, needs go on a diet. At 50% BF, your lifestyle needs to change. Keto diets or any othe shock diets are only temporary solutions.

no matter what u said, that guy looks like the new crisco poster boy

theres no way a guy that big can be reeducated

BigAndy is right.

This guy needs to start making some slight modifications in his life style. Not anything too drastic, but enough to help him slowly shed the weight. Once he sees some of the weight dropping, he should get some motivation to keep with it and improve some more on his diet and then add some simple walking (even 1 hour every evening would be a huge benefit to him!!).

When people are this big, I am willing to bet that in the past they have tried dieting, but always failed because they forced there body to make too drastic a change at once. The only thing that will help him is himself after he sees results.

KETO!

Get this guy on a ketogenic diet before he hurts himself. Or any low carb diet - Protein Power is pretty easy to pull off. If he knows nothing or cares nothing about serious body building - get him the Protein Power book.

Nothing fancy or too difficult.

I wouldn't start with any exercise (except a little more walking), until he lost some significant weight - and then he should start lifting some.

As far as the slightly elevated BP - My boyfriend was on BP meds for 5 years.

I put him on a ketogenic diet, he dropped from 235 to 195 in 5 months. His blood pressure went down to normal and we threw those god-damned woody-killing BP pills in the trash!

This guy's BP will go down naturally as he loses weight. It's more of a miracle his BP isn't higher, considering all the area the blood has to cover.

Fawn

I was big before, its a long hard road. I was 200lbs at about 40% bf. I started lifting, cardio, and starving myself and went down to 150lbs in about 8mo. Course I lost muscle, but didn't really have much to loose at start. I burnt out then started training again with the help of another forum much like this one I learned how to eat and train correctly. Right now, after 2years of training I am 195 at about 18% bf and dieting. Gained some fat off couple bulking cycles. I wish your friend all the best, he can do it, going to take time and dedication. I don't recommend he do it the way I did, just sharing some inspiration.
Good luck

Still not sure this request for help is authentic, but if it is, the last thing this grossly obese person needs is lots of detailed specific weight lifting techniques and complex dieting tips. He should -in conjunction with a doctor- merely alter his eating habits to reduce the junk fat and excessive carbs he's obviously ingesting all day and begin a simple unstrenuous cardio routine that can be altered as he makes progress. At that size/weight the simplest/healthiest changes will show huge payoffs. The tricky detailed stuff comes in to play when he's trying to lose the final 50 - 60 lbs and after his exercise routines have advanced with his weight loss.

providian's right...

a lifestyle change is what he needs and that is accomplished gradually. first step might be to get him walking easy for like 20, 30 minutes a day and begin to replace some of the junk food with good food. can't just slash out all the junk food right away if he's used to eating it all the time, it will be too drastic a change and he will feel deprived. just a little less at first, then a little less than that.
