My friend wants to lose some weight

Tell him to stop eating until he's around 210 then he should start exercising.

>the natural path
yeah, like fat loss always has to be steroids. This guy seems desperate so maybe he is crazy enough to do keto, do that

Pound a week is a solid achievable goal to be paired with weight training.

Tell him he's a fat piece of shit and should stop eating.

Tell him to read the sticky. If he's dedicated he can probably get down to 220

A 70 lb weight loss in about 100 days is not really realistic.

He asked me right now; what about keto + intermittent and regular cardio few times pre week?

weight loss is just energy in vs energy out really
just eat below tdee and you'll lose weight

Tell your friend that he's a faggot

I was 120kg 4-5 years ago and I was after 3 months near 100kg.
Everyday at the gym. 1st month everyday stationary bike 30 minutes and step up machine 30 minutes and if is there the arm bike machine 30 minutes. After a month add to that weight lifting. Basically you know that it works because the temperature of his body will be constantly heat, you will not stand it close to him cause it's like being close to an oven.
I did this program at it worked on me.

Tell him to do a 3 day fast
If he has the willpower to make it through that, go from there
If not, he's a weakling, an addict, and ultimately a lost cause

>3 day fast

So eat only 2 times a week? Full meals (paleo style i presume, lean meat, salad, cooked veggies?), 3 times a day - 2 times a week, correct?

There is no healthy way for him to be 200 by Christmas, for that weight 2 and a half pounds a week would probably be the maximum I'd lose if I didn't want loose skin, stretchmarks or malnutrition

So that's 15K calorie deficit per week?
