My friend is very overweight, he needs a new start. Suggestions for an extreme

Most gyms have a boot camp program. I suggest that your friend find one, and also join Weight Watchers so he can learn the proper way to eat.

The thing is, without motivation any weight loss plan will fail. If he wants it badly enough he can do it without being in-patient somewhere. 0% 0 Votes

Does he really want to lose weight? If he does, he would find a way to lose weight.. unless he needs serious help, try going to a counselor/ nutritionist and change his eating habits.
