Sorry to say it, but there s no easy way to do it. The very first and most important thing is to change his diet. Contrary to popular belief, obese people don t need more food. The fat is just baggage, and doesn t need to be fed, so it s no excuse to overeat. Once his diet is proper, he needs to start moving around. As much as can be tolerated by his musculoskeletal system. Slowly but surely, he will lose weight. The only really fast way to lose weight would be to find yourself a nice intestinal parasite. But that has some other effects we don t want...

This has to be something your father wants. It will be alot of hard work and will take time it wont happen over nite. Should begin with a healthy diet lots of veges and fruits throw some type of exercise in the day routine and then see how it goes from there \

If he can afford it the Lapband surgery. Other than that lots of water,exercise and fruits and vegetables.

consult with a doctor first someone with this weight is already having a strain on their hear t and need to be evaluated before starting an exercise program.

Excercise? By-pass surgery?

Your stepdad has a lot of work ahead to lose weight - it is not impossible - but it will take his commitment to be successful. You won t be able to sneak in a few low calorie foods here and there to do the trick.To maintain 450 pounds, he is eating a lot of food every day - and probably not moving around very much. so the first thing he needs to do is to reduce the amount of food he is eating every time he eats. Instead of eating two of something, only eat 1. Instead of heaping the bowl full, eat half of that. Instead of eating dessert, decline dessert.... I think you get the picture....then, he needs to walk. He probably gets out of breath easily. so, he needs to start walking around the house or apartment, the apartment hallways, etc. Walk out to get the mail. Then walk to the street corner, or the next driveway. Pick some goals. Don t expect a mile - just start small.When he starts to see some success, then either walk the route more times in a day - or walk further.THis is an oversimplification of what he needs to do. But I stress this has to have his cooperation or it won t work. Weight will not peel off like it would with a gastric bypass or other surgery. But this is a lot cheaper. You can be his best support, encourager, and helper - but he does not need you to nag. You d be surprized how important an encourager is - it may make the difference betwen staying with it or not. And if he has a bad day - remind him he can start over every day.good luck
