what sort of exercise program would u recommend for an overweight/obese man with...

[danielson]

THANX FOR THE REPLIES!!! , i always wondered if i should start him up on weights, but while he does cycle, he does it so damn infrequently and on an exercise bike. ill sign him up to the local gym, and tell him if he doesnt go, he'll be wasting money. that ought to be motivation enough

cheers for all the help though, ill have to watch his iniotial progress before ill know anymore though freakshow ...thanx for the offer though

btw DNP...is that the orange stuff i used in chemistry class to test between aldehysdes and ketones and stuff?

Yes, DNP is that orange stuff normally used as an insecticide, and as out of shape as he is
it would probably kill him.
Who grocery shops? Do somebody a favor and go buy groceries for him.
I have developed very good resistance to buying junk at the supermarket,
but if I do buy something fatty and sweet I have no resistance to eating the whole box once it's home.
He's probably never learned "moderation" in choosing his foods, so it would probably
help to have a period where the refrigerator only contained
"safe" foods. If there are other family members around that just "have to have" their cookies and muffins, they can keep it in their bedroom for a few weeks while your dad gets it together. Good luck.
