Obviously, your friend has a lot of work to do. He needs more than a few tips. He needs a strict diet and workout program.

How old is he?
Have you got him started on a diet or workout at all yourself yet?
I'm normally not a big CKD fan, but I think it would help him. Have you looked into that?

There is hope for him if he's serious about it, especially if he's younger. I was not too far from that many years ago.

FIRST THING IS HE NEEDS TO DO ALOT OF CARDIO-then fix his diet and lift often

first off id have him lift 3 times per week..becuase more muscle mass will burn cals...

second: strict diet

third cardio 3-4 times per week

peace

thanks guys, hes only 18 right now. im trying to get him to workout and do cardio, but hes not very motivated. i just think its unhealthy to be holding that much weight. any other opinions?

as the old saying goes
you can bring a horse to a river but you cant make him drink!!

Depends on his dedication level. How dedicated he is will determine how much cardio/diet/weights will work. He can do it no doubt but it's a hellish road. Determination is the key, knowledge of what to do and eat is the lock.

I would look into HIIT style cardio and working out 4 times a week. For diet I like CKD a lot as well w/ the carb up every few days.

LoL, that nailed it right there. I was exactly where your friend well, i was 5'11" and 285. I saw my picture one day and thought, "my god, what have i done". Atkins has been working for me. 6 months ago i was 285, today i'm 210 and shooting for 170 (hopefully i'll be there in 6 months). Loosing 75lbs ain't a bad start . Hell, i don't care if it takes me 6 months or 3 years to loose the last 40lbs. I made myself what i was, so i'll consistantly work to change who i am.

I'd say cardio. Work with him on his diet. Determine goal, then strive to meet them......good luck.
