He's the best man at his brother's wedding in July, and he's fat as hell right now. Not obese, but really fat. He wants to get in shape, understandable. But he's going on some diet that allows him 1200 calories a day and only 9 grams of protein a day. That's insane, right? Doesn't sound remotely safe or something that you can keep up with. I'd be dying for a steak by day 3. I don't understand starvation diets. You have your entire life to live. Why do people feel the need to try to lose 60 or 70 lbs in 4 months? It just seems crazy.
