<<Disclaimer: Verify this information before applying it to your situation.>> Hi. I just attended a daylong seminar on preventing diabetes. They say getting exercise is more beneficial than losing weight. At least 1/2 hour a day, I had read a research article earlier that said 5.5 hours a week was the magical number. That's fast walking. And a lot more than most people do. Since you're so far away, I doubt that you can help, unless he wants to help himself. You might try getting him on some probiotics, as if he has a load of yeast in his gut, he will be too hungry to be able to stay on a diet, trust me.
