>dad is overweight >says he is going to lose it because

it's bullshit and you know it. even he knows it but won't accept it, because he has a weak mind.

Tell him to not stuff his face with shit food and he will lose weight.

>>42108598
His thighs/knees are swollen, though. Could that play a part? At all?

You'll be dad-less within the next 5 years or so. Either that or his neglect towards his health will result in him becoming completely chaste physically, and might as well be dead. It'll make him even more miserable.

Either way, he's running his time down.

>>42108562
Sounds like he many have kidney issues if his legs are swollen like that

>>42108611
His thighs are swollen because he's fat, you dingus. His knees are probably swollen because the joints are having to take on more load than they're supposed to by carrying his weight.

>>42108626
Im 70% sure of that, but I want to know if theres any merit behind a part of your body being swollen and adding to your weight outside of good deiting.

Unfortunately there isn't much you can do. You can't help people who don't want to be helped and that's particularly frustrating when it's someone you care about as much as your old man.

>>42108611
Make him count his calorie intake, or you do it for him
I guarantee, that he is in a much higher range than 1500.

I would post a picture of a fatty trying to convince his doctor that the weight he gained, even though he is in medical treatment and geta rationized food (where he eats more than he is allowed), is because of gallons of water he drinka every day.

Fat people are delusional when it comes to food and foodintake

>>42108667
>>42108666
The thing is, he works a lot, is on his feet all day, and there is definitely some form of liquid in his knees(he had it checked earlier today).

Im not wondering if hes cheating or not, just if that is unpreventable weight.

The "its 15 lbs of water" when he gained 20 lbs is the smoking gun.

>>42108713
It's fat. Pin him with a needle and see if there is a fountain of water spilling out.

>>42108562
It's literally impossible to gain weight at all unless you eat more than you use. It's entirely in his control. He's making excuses, and you need to get him to stop or he'll be dead at any time.

Old people have lower TDEE. But it doesn't mean he can't eat lower than that, it just going to be harder

It's a true thing that is happening that is being used as an excuse to cheat and fuck up and absolve responsibility.

He deserves help and sympathy for the joint issues, and scorn for cheating on his diet and worsening matters.

>>42108791
This isn't 100% true. Holding water adds body weight and requires no caloric input. If we're talking body fat and lean mass weight, this is absolutely correct.

No excuses, but let's be accurate.

>>42108733
It's likely both. Joint strain causes fluid accumulation, you know what causes joint strain? Being fucking fat.

Feed him a few diuretics that'll come right off. Make sure his kidneys aren't shitting the bed first.

>Holding water adds body weight
how do you lose water weight other than pissing

I'm guessing your dad is a nice guy so you're just holding back a little so here I suggest you let him read this post here:

Dear Anon's dad,

You are not a fucking woman, stop eating like an emotional cunt and get a grip on yourself. Yes, all the extra estrogen you're storing in your gut and the fact you're 65 and your balls have shrunk might be messing with your head to the point where you feel you need to eat a whole tub of pasta, but for fucks sake, you are still a man and you have to understand it takes a dedicated effort to let yourself go to 290lbs.

Cut the fucking carbs, the pasta and sugar must go. Limit your beer intake to once a week. Go out and play poker, drink there. That's what I do. You do that, and you'll lose some weight, make some friends, and stop being a little bitch.

Godspeed Anon's dad.

>>42108562
>your father is telling you he's going to start doing something about his lifestyle before he does it
>^ego
>doesn't know shit about fitness or health
>probably a late bloomer baby boomer
>probably subconsciously is attracted to mainstream shit when it comes to fitness info
>damn near 300
>swollen legs, what do?
>lmao?

what YOU do is not do shit. let the grown ass man do what he wants to do. he's doing this bullshit out of emotion. he's doing things by feel and he feels the need to do bullshit. when you see him eating, don't say shit. when you hear him talking about fitness with you, keep yourself humbled. when he uses immature ass excuses (cause you can be immature at any fucking age.) ignore them. he'll start talking about his progress more and more from time to time, in different ways but jumping to conclusions that seem logical. but that's the thing, he's jumping to conclusions without studying himself or research. he's basically a retard. you don't need this person in your life failing in front of you while he won't listen to what you have to offer. fuck off with this bullshit. move the fuck on with this. he'll either one day listen to his kid or never change. even if you have degrees and shit with a ton of followers and evidence to support your shit and you're 45, he probably still won't listen to his kid.

>>42108598
this. but he's not gonna listen
>>42108611
he's fat.
>>42108626
51% agree. think he'll live longer than 5 years. but he could be gone tomorrow.
>>42108641
he's fat.
>>42108642
this.
>>42108666
this.
>>42108667
it's not enough. he'll use normie excuses in his brain. skip meals, use supplements not as supplements but as meal replacements, snack on anything so long as he stays within calorie limit, drink soda and shit, etc. what i'm saying is op needs to be so specific as a teacher, because the person he's teaching isn't any kid or adolescent or even young 20 something. it's a grown ass man. an old ass dog. they won't fuckin listen or pick up on the same shit as quick.
>>42108713
>>42109226
this
>>42109190
yeah watch him go from 290 or whatever down to 275 in a week and he'll think he's doin shit right when all he did was lose water weight and probably lacks more needed nutrients in him. he's gonna be retarded regardless of the information he has.
>>42109341
sir, or you could point your fuckin gun at him and force him to workout, sir.

>>42109341
OP here, thankfully he doesnt drink beer.

>>42109255
Sweat, evaporative, pissing, bleeding, puking.

A kidney checkup, exercise, and assuming they aren't contraindicated, some diuretics will do big work here. We want him to lose it in sweat & piss, other ways are unpleasant at best

op you're pathetic. you skipped over so many posts.

>>42108713
stop caring if it's water or fat. it doesn't matter. he's overweight and is not losing weight. if he gains 15lb of water in a couple of months, he needs to lose 20lb of fat in the same period. it's simple.
