Any suggestions would be welcome.

It sounds like your friend might require several resources. 1) a good physician who can deal with related medical issues, 2) a nutritionist who can coach him and educate your friend about foods and their preparation, & 3) a good psychologist who can help him understand the underlying cause of his poor eating habit, then work to correct those issues.

Your friend is fortunate to have your concern. It is a difficult circumstance to deal with. At some point a good Bariatric surgery program may be helpful but he needs to correct the basic issues first.

Good luck!
