Caloric restriction works, however it impedes his productivity (“ability to think”).
Exercise isn’t effective in promoting weight loss or reducing weight gain due to compensatory metabolic throttling during non-exercise times
His fat metabolism is poor, because his fat cells are inclined to leach glucose and triglycerides from his bloodstream to sustain themselves rather than be net contributors, and the effect is that muscle loss makes up the difference, leading to unfavourable implications for body composition, energy, and overall health. In essence “good genetics” for fat loss = “Fat cells that are readily and efficiently broken down for energy”, whereas “bad genetics” for fat loss = “fat cells that are resistant to being used as energy”.
There’s a good overview of his views expressed in this manifold thread.
Basically:
