A lot of you young guys will end up like this.
A lot of people who are obese are suffering from mental illness/low self esteem. They use food to try to numb the emotional pain but obviously a temporary fix that causes problems to become exacerbated.
How does he eat without his father's help?
Also, 2 large pizzas will not mess up a diet too much. I could order those now and be back to normal in 3 days. Someone his size might lose weight from eating only those in 1 day.
Awful he ended up like this. He does need intervention.
For an 800lb person to only lose 20lbs in 90 days while staying at a weight loss facility is truly impressive.

Surely all of them?
Who would become obese willingly?
At my peak mileage I'd need a large pizza just to maintain my weight.
Seriously. I started eating donuts and burgers just to keep up with calories. Duck my arteries.
1 large pepperoni pizza might get me through one long run but not an entire day.

You got to be joking. This kid has been sneaking more than pizza into the hospital these past months. He should have lost at least 100lbs in those 90 days. Makes me wonder who is paying for this fiasco and where his father has been all these years?

Perhaps this 800 lb. man simply needs to up his mileage? That's what I would do.

^^This!
What has the hospital been feeding him that he only lost 20 friggin pounds??
Isn't this Steven Assanti the same guy that was on a TV program about fat people?
Looks like he's eating several meals per day.
Why not just let him fast with like 3 well-selected meals per week?
He would do fine.
Probably lose all his weight in 1 year.
I have a friend who works in these obese clinics. After the Fat person has a BM, thy have a thing that looks like a car pressure washer for cleanup.

The linked article is from 5+ years ago, was the show where he gets kicked out of the Texas hospital for being a baby before or after he got kicked out of the RI hospital for the pizza (which I suspect was the last straw of similar behavior)?

That is sad. Many methods seem ineffective or as in the above case provide little weight loss.
I tried for years to loose weight but I finally made my mind up that I wanted to loose the weight and live a healthier lifestyle more than I wanted the snacking, high calories unhealthy foods, and the large portions of food.
I went from 230 lbs to 182 in 90 days about a decade ago with my wife's help. We used phone app/website to help us count calories eaten and burned through exercise. I walked at least 2 miles a day and and later added 8 to 12 mile bike rides a few days a week. A year later I started running again after not running for several decades. About 5 years after the initial weight loss I ran Boston at 160 lbs in the first wave.
If you can find it, read Dave Berg's "America is getting soft" from Mad Magazine issue 54 (1960).
He foresaw it all, including the riding around on scooters indoors. The ending is not happy, unless you're the Russians.

But it obviously didn't go well for you.
