I know what you mean Ebbtide. I have a husband 6'3" 297 lbs. Last week, the DR. told him his Triglicerides were very high. So high, that upon his revisit in 6 months, if it they don't come down, he is going to put him on meds.
But, my husband is not taking this seriously! He is now drinking more alcohol instead of focusing on a positive diet and consistent exercise. I don't know what to do.
I did get him a Trek 3500 because he likes to bike. I feel helpless though. Oh, I also signed him up for the Meditterrainian Diet -
