I have had Christian friends advise me to trust a business because the owner is Christian. It worries me because religion leaves my friends vulnerable to con artists who use religion to hide deception.
If your dad is morbidly obese, he might have tried a number of weight loss strategies and feels desperate enough to try anything. Breaking old habits can be difficult especially when it takes so long to see any results. Maybe you could suggest that your dad start going for walks with you or that the two of you could give up something unhealthy like sodas. If you frame it as if you are the one wanting to lead a more healthy life then he might not feel pressured. He won't see drastic results but if he feels like he is helping you then maybe he will stick with the changes. Overtime you can help him build on those small changes and he will eventually see some weight loss.
