Is it possible for a very obese male to become almost perfectly fit?

Question

I'm wondering because I'd like to.
But my friend also told me that once you're obese, you can never have a 'good looking' body due to the excess skin on your bones.

Thanks

Answer 1

I sure wouldn't call him a friend if I were you. Yes you can!!!!
There is surgery to remove the extra loose skin

Answer 2

Yes you can. Get a stresstest done by your doc to be sure you can handle exercise. Start walking daily. Build up speed and distance over time. I've known people who have lost a lot of weight and they eventually lose the flab. It takes time so don't give up.

Don't use Diet Pills. They are bad for you. Most of them are just a scam or they are addictive. Losing weight is easy. You just have to do the right things. Fad diets sometimes work but, you can be sure that at least 25% of the weight you lose will be muscle. Then when you stop the diet you will gain back all of the weight you lost but no muscle. So, you will have 25% more fat than you did before! Fad diets just aren't worth the bother. 

Here's a simple trick that can help you lose weight without doing anything else. Drink a litre of water as soon as you wake up in the morning and then drink two more throughout the day. You'll notice a difference the first month. 

Here's a better way. For every pound of muscle that you add your body will burn 3000 calories (1lb) of fat every day. That means that just by having an extra pound of muscle on your body you will burn a pound of fat every day! So, add muscle! 

This is the fastest way to add a pound of muscle. Squats and Pushups! You do them on alternate days; squats one day, pushups the next. And you do them SuperSlow style. That is, you do the easy part twice as slow as the hard part. That way you fatigue the muscles quickly. Then you rest the muscles for 48 hours which gives the body a chance to make new muscles. 

Squats should be done with a wide stance and all the way to the floor.
 Pushups the with palms shoulder width apart and all the way to the floor, then all the way up. Use the full range of motion of the muscle group you are trying to develop. 

The idea is to tire the muscles out completely so do a set of squats until you can't do another, then rest for a couple of minutes and do it again. Do that 3 times and you're done for the day. The following day, don't do squats but do pushups. Do them the same way, go down twice as slow as you come up. 

You will lose weight fast, unless you add more junk food and fat to your diet. Instead, eat at least 5 to 7 different raw vegetables and fruits every day. Cut out anything that comes in a bag or package. Cut out all processed foods, soft drinks and sweets. Eat more grains and less red meat. If you really want to give your body the best possible chance to be healthy and fat free, go to infinity2.com and order their weight loss formula and Essentials for Life. That will give you all the vitamins, minerals, antioxidants and probiotics that your body needs and will keep you feeling better and healthier. Weight loss without exercise is not good. You need to eat healthy, exercise and get your rest. You will feel better, look better and be healthier. Try it for a week. You will notice a difference. You will feel better and that will motivate you to continue. 
 Counting calories is a pain in the butt. It will drive you nuts. Losing weight only in specific areas of the body is impossible. You can't just lose weight around the belly, for instance. If you want tight, rippled abs, do crunches every other day the way I described above. Good luck!

Answer 3

Some can and some can't. It depends on how much elasticity there is in your skin. I've seen people on Oprah and other shows who lost hundreds of pounds and some did have loose skin that they had surgically removed, but others looked just fine. Their skin shrunk right up. I have to say that even if you had some loose skin, you'd still look better and feel better and be healthier.

Answer 4

even if you have a little excess skin you can still be almost perfectly fit. You can still have a good looking body. some excess skin is not that bad!

Answer 5

Your friend is wrong!

I had a very obese friend of mine who became so fit and so beautiful he was very very VERY sought after.

If that's what you want, you can have it. If by any chance your skin becomes floppy you can have surgery for that.

Don't let this possibility deter you from your goals :)

Answer 6

lie, lie, lie. THAT IS SO NOT TRUE! just go on LA wheght loss! it really works (with a little bit of luck and effort) and you can get surgery for thhe accses skin

Answer 7

It is possible, but it happens very gradually. Add weight training to the aerobic exercising that you are/should be doing.

Answer 8

yes
