One great way to lose weight and improve your outlook is to get a dog. Of course you have to be sure the person can apply themselves enough to treat the dog well.
Probably body fat percentage is a more accurate measure of whether you have a weight problem or not. Most football players are probably overweight due to the BMI charts, but probably have an acceptable body fat percentage although a few positions, having extra weight is helpful.
A famliy sized pizza lasts me a week. LolSee if he will talk to his doctor about that band thing. My fat nephew is an absolute disgrace and could use 5 of those bands but he likes stuffing his pie hole too much. No kidding this fat body likes to eat a family size pizza for a late night snack, exercise is feet from floor to couch, that's it.
Your family member needs to quit eating processed foods.
The sad reality is that a good percentage of Americans that have been in the USA for multiple generations eat like garbage.
If you look at what foreign born people from overseas place in their shopping cart, it's not the junk most Americans eat.
My parents are from Poland and I grew up with a health nut Mom and my wife is also a heath freak. Everyone in my family is tall & skinny.
I'm 6'2-3/4 and never weighed over 165 in my life.
You mean like Hypnosis? I've had a co worker that was hypnotized to stop smoking....Anyone have experience with therapy for obesity? I have a family member who is turning 50, hypertensive, and essentially let themselves go over the past decade (Out of convenience). I'm really struggling watching this happen and yet because I have a no-BS approach to staying physically fit my personality doesn't lend itself towards providing suggestions.
So, I'm wondering if anyone has any success stories using therapy. Perhaps I can guide them to getting help. I've been to too many funerals as of late.
This is true. When I dropped from around 275# to 215-220# people all cheered, but most said they could never do that.People have to want to change.
We have no idea what his diet is most people have some belief that somehow sitting is the issue.Finished my 4 year mechanical 40 years ago. Decided to take over the family plumbing business instead. My college roommate got a job in engineering. He ballooned from 160lb to over 300lbs. He sits all day, walks the dog when he gets home for exercise. 12 hour days and works Saturdays. My days are filled with physical activity but he makes a crap load more money than I. I am so glad I went the route I did or I'd be in his boat...obese with a boring job. Money is overrated.
One needs muscle mass to atleast burn off some cals. He has no time for exercise and is soft. One cannot just eat salads and no-fun stuff all the time. Pluss he is not sexually active as his partner is out of order for years. When the sex stops usually the weight increases.We have no idea what his diet is most people have some belief that somehow sitting is the issue.
