Probably should try to get some exercise (how big is he?) ALSO and MOST IMPORTANTLY.... he should seek MEDICAL ADVISE.\n\nMany time obesity is NOT from overeating but from a medical condition.\n\nHe could also try to get on "Biggest Loser" Have you seen how much some of those people have lost?  Maybe his fear is not of the dieting itself, but of the failures he has experienced with dieting.

Metabolism......all young people are blessed with it, as you grow older it slows down. If you want to gain weight you have to eat more protine and things like that, its not always the sugar that makes you fat.

Two words ... FAST FOOD\n\nPeople gain weight when the body takes in more calories than it burns off. Those extra calories are stored as fat. The amount of weight gain that leads to obesity doesn't happen in a few weeks or months. Because being obese is more than just being a few pounds overweight, people who are obese have usually been getting more calories than they need for years.

some people are born with good genes and have been reared in an environment where food is a neccesity and not a crutch. they eat to live...not live to eat. there have been some recent studies showing a "fat gene" that links obesity to an addiction....and not just weak and lazy people who don't have the will power to diet and exercise.

The truth is that eating anything beyond what your body is truely calling for makes a person fat. Nothing more, nothing less. Everything else is just a desperate attempt to blame the fat on something other than our own responsibility.

Live yes, be healthy no.  Your body requires fat to function.

Only if a medical condition is causing it.  I have heard of people wh are obese because oh something going wrong in their body.  It seems no matter what they eat or how they exercise, it don't help.  Others just eat to much fast food and snacks and are couch potatoes.  And no there is no excuse for them.

Not sure what your question is asking, and what do you consider "fat".  Some people call it anything over 10 pounds over their "ideal weight", while others go with that table made by doctors to calculate how much they should weigh.  They also go by BMI.\n\nThere are many reasons why people gain weight.  THe most common reason is overeating.  The reasons for that vary from sadness, anxiety, stress, illness, hunger but not knowing or recognizing when to stop, lack of exercise, lack of nutritional information, finances.  I believe majority of it though is mental driven and the inability to quit, even though they should.\n\nThe same can be said for those who lose weight.

When u are overweight or obese....not only is it physically unhealthy but mentally too...cause of they way people treat them...sometimes the more they think about it and are reminded of this the more depressed they get and try to make it all go away...so they are more than likely to try to starve themselves or end it all...scary but it's true...

you have a certain number of fat cells in your body. You never lose fat cells they just grow with more energy they get, or shrink.

from what I learned in my anatomy class, when you gain fat cells you never lose them. They shrink when you lose weight. Thats why overweight people have to stick with a healthy lifestyle after they lose a bunch of weight because its so easy to enlarge those fat cells again if they go back to bad eating habits.

People need a little bit of fat in their diets, but like with cholesterol, there is good and bad fat.
