Yeah man, after reading this thread it honestly sounds to me like this person needs to break his habit of getting fast food. You take someone that heavy and put them on that restrictive of a diet and I'm pretty sure he's not just "holding water". The first 2-3 wks... maybe but after that for sure, no. He needs a complete lifestyle change that's on an addiction level. As a former heavy drinker I can guarantee you lying about something you're embarrased about comes like second nature.
So, I don't think he is being honest with you.
At the same time, I totally respect not giving up on a friend. I vote for upping the cardio. Get him to do 20 min on the treadmill, or whatever he's comfortable with that will get his heart rate up in the target zone after every workout, 2 wks later 25 min after every workout, 2 wks later 30, etc.
Try and see if you can get him to use his bike to get to work. Tell him to use the stairs instead of the elevator. Anything for more cardio. Challenge him to leave his house in the morning with no cash, no bank or credit cards so he can't cheat.
Driver's license and the lunch he made only.
