Concern for a friend
A good friend of mine has recently started (a few months ago) trying to get in shape. He's 6 foot 8 and about 270 lbs. Anyway, he's trying to "get buff" and lose some weight at the same time... which is a good thing in itself. However, I'm concerned with his methods. He goes to the gym and lifts weights 5 days a week, eats as little as possible, and is on some kind of caffeine pill. He blacks out regularly, but this doesn't seem to phase him -- he says "what doesn't kill you only makes you stronger." In this case, though, I'm afraid that that old cliche is dead wrong. How can I help him?
