Weight loss will only help his ED. See the weight loss sticky at the top. It's not magic. It's want to. Calories in/calories out.

I don't get aroused by vegetables. It's not an ED problem.

Well it might be that you're not working the vegetables into the right recipe and that's why I'm not excited but that's the chef's fault if you get my drift.

So see a doctor before you do anything.

Yes, he should just lose some weight. Start by doing a real calculation of how many calories he's consuming, and then reduce it--by a reasonable level. If he's eating 4,000 calories per day, dropping down to 1,500 is probably not sustainable. Start by dropping down to 3,500, then after six months, a year, drop it a bit more. It's a marathon, not a sprint.

Most people aren't Michael Phelps, who at his best consumed around 10,000 calories/day.

Rule of thumb is don't drop calorie intake more than 1000/day from the level that would sustain the current weight. That translates to loss of about 2 lb./week, which is around the healthy limit for most people.

In my experience successful weight loss involves an exercise program of some kind... organized or otherwise... exercise really helps. It burns off more calories and gets the hormones humming. I think that will help anyone's sex life.

Also very important in my opinion are life style changes that will make it easier to maintain the desired weight level.

While there's no scientific data showing that being overweight directly causes ED, some studies show a clear link between weight loss and improvements in sexual performance. ... For example, an Italian study of overweight and obese men looked at the effects of weight loss on erectile dysfunction.

I agree, and throwing in a few days each week of moderate cardio and a little muscle building will get the ball rolling faster.

Heart disease is caused by the build-up of deposits of cholesterol on artery walls. But that is the only blood carrying items that can be blocked by dietary intake of too high fats, proteins, and carbs. This can block smaller blood supplies that go into your spine, as well as your penis (and a clitoris) thus being overweight is also a risk for back disc problems and ed, and/or reduced sexual drive.

The key to losing weight long term is to change your lifestyle to one that you can live with. Just doing a diet never works as you can see in the results of many who participated in the Biggest Loser television show.

Suggestions. Reduce dramatically, if possible to zero, the intake of processed food. Frozen meals, snack foods, any kind of chips.... cut them all out as soon as possible. Replace those foods with whole plant foods. whole grain breads, rice, beans, potatoes (not fried, but baked, roasted) and fruits and vegetables. Any and all fruits, any and all vegetables.
Limit your whole animal products, get rid of dairy, no more than one egg a day, and stick with lean cuts of flesh.
Work with seasoning, and spices for the whole foods to give flavor to a thing that might otherwise be very unfavorable (i.e. rice, tofu).
Use a tool like cronometer.com to track what he eats for 1 or 2 days to find out how many calories he is eating today. Weigh in on a Friday morning, then cut 250kcal from your daily intake per day and track it for a week. then weigh in on the following Friday and see if you lost any weight. If not, cut another 250kcal and go for another week. Keep cutting until you are losing a good 1-2lbs per week.
It's very possible he may lose weight much faster once you start eating more whole foods because packaged and processed foods are much more caloric dense. By eating whole foods he'll likely be cutting a lot of calories out but not feeling hungry. I bet he would be shocked at how many calories if he tracks what he eats each day for a week.

Losing weight may be one of the best ways to restore normal erectile function. One study found: Over 30 percent of the men who took part in the weight loss study regained normal sexual function. These men lost an average of 33 pounds over a 2-year span.
