You’re saying he lost 50lbs in about 10 weeks? At five lbs/week, he’ll have a hard time keeping that off — especially since he lost 25 of those lbs in SEVEN weeks. Meaning he lost the last 25 lbs in about 3 weeks, i.e. 6.5 lbs/week. It’s really difficult to change your habits, especially eating habits, in that length of time. He has a tough road ahead in keeping it off. He obviously doesn’t have any lasting effects from the stroke, so I doubt it was a serious stroke but enough to scare the living daylights out of him. Sometimes, that’s what it takes. I like Mr. Luntz and wish him good health.
He’s done a great job losing that weight but it’ll be difficult to maintain that level for long. If he keeps at it, the diet and the workout, he will be fine.
