  1. Hope the best for him and thanks for sharing it too, because not many people would be willing to do it. I'm just curious about a side thing perhaps. How the heck he didn't develop major major deficiencies in nutrition that resulted in some sort of sickness? xD I'm not all too familiar with american mac 'n cheese... yes, I know what it is, and my country has a counterpart to it, but afaik, it lacks several vitamins and components that are kinda essencial for health. I imagine the stuff is enriched a bit like several other types of food, but... does it have it all? Perhaps a good way to convince himself to change is the most obvious apart from therapy - a full health check. Blood test and whatnot. He did say at some point that perhaps it was better if he was given a more stern warning, doctors are pretty good at that. :P I know the body is flexible to a point from experience... I went through several months of very light eating, mostly another very unhealthy thing - noodles. I lost a bunch of weight, which was the objective, but because of how I did it, when I came out of the "diet" I quickly regained and then doubled because of it. I was mildly overweight, then I got close to a more ideal weight for my age and height because of... close to a year of that diet, and then I went straight back to overweight but shoot through to almost obese. Because the body compensates for your diet, when I started eating normally again, it all went to fat storage of course. But even if I went to what I personally consider extremes on this, I still cannot imagine surviving a diet of Mac and cheese for 17 years straight. Not because I dislike the stuff or anything (I'd most likely get tired of it if I ate for too long), but because of vitamins and minerals the stuff does not have. I do understand it being related to PTSD though. Hope he gets better and achieves his objectives.
