High dose vitamin C and incremental lifestyle changes. Research shows slow and steady win the race. Hard shifting to a strict diet without proper supervision or doing something "trendy" like IF or OMAD is not the way. You need to look at sustainable changes and focus on nutrition as the metric, not weight. Getting activity level up, 20-30 minutes of low impact steady state cardio per day is probably the best single instant move he can make. If they do not have time to cook, it will be difficult unless they can afford eating out at restaurant they can modify items properly.
I disagree. It takes at least 24 to 36 hours of fasting to get to fat-burning for energy needs. OMAD is a very easy stage for people to stop bouncing their blood-sugar around with constant snacking. The point is to eat enough food at that meal to last, and that is more easily done with dense, nutrient-rich food.
