My dad is 64 years old and weighs 100kg. Can he lose weight naturally without surgery and get down to 70-80kg? Is that even possible at his age?

The golden rules of weight loss still apply: Burn more calories than you eat or drink. Eat more veggies, fruits, whole grains, fish, beans, and low-fat or fat-free dairy; and keep meat and poultry lean. Limit empty calories, like sugars and foods with little or no nutritional value.
