First I would do a simple test to see how well he tolerates carbs, many diets fail because people don't know how much amylase they produce in their saliva. Simple test: get a plain unsweetened biscuit (in UK we call them water biscuits / cream crackers / matzos) and see how quickly you can taste the sweetness: before 18seconds you are good; 15-28s - not so good; 28s + not good, cut down on carbs, have a high protein diet.
Avoid "low fat" and processed food. Eat as much fresh fruit, salads and vegetables as possible - raw carrots are great for curbing appetite, tomato juice is very filling with few calories. Cut out alcohol, sugar and snacks. Eggs are good, I have a boiled one for breakfast most days. Try to exercise if possible - get MAGNESIUM oil (simple to make, just melt Mg crystals) for stiff joints. Best with DMSO - if you can get it, helps absorption; just be sure to read up on how to use it (30% strength).
Do not cut out fats, they are important for brain, heart health and vitamin absorption. Good vitamin and mineral supplements help, Tyrosine too. Best way to start is with what I call a Kaboom drink to get the gut cleansed: liquidise apple, orange + orange juice, banana add Bentonite clay if possible and take charcoal tabs or capsules.
I get Magnesium Chloride Hexahydrate Flakes from The Zechstein Source: all you have to do is melt it - don't buy ready made spray as its overpriced and the crystals can reform if cold. Avoid broken skin or it will sting, even a small scratch; no big deal, just rinse off. Known as the happy mineral as it lifts mood and aids sleep. Also involved in a huge number of processes in the body - worth reading up. So far it keeping severe arthritis and my carpal tunnel at bay. Recently sprained my ankle, used a couple of drops with DMSO and was pain free, able to walk and the swelling went down in a couple of days. Wonderful stuff, add a little to my home made toothpaste too, good for gums and teeth. Great addition to a bath. Use daily!

That should help, hope it does :)
