I could not agree more, though I still think the guy is worth trying to
help. People get weird when it comes to diet and weight loss. It's like
talking about religion or something. It's just taking him a while to get
his head wrapped around the notion that he's eating too much. LC would be
the best for him, but calorie reduction will work too.

BTW, what does a pathologist do?
