Slow and steady wins the race?

Just asking for some advice.
I've had great luck losing 45 pounds in 6 or so months. I started out slow and steady with exercise.

My boyfriend has always pushed himself hard for a couple of weeks, becoming burned out, and stopping all together. I've witnessed this and heard him complain about it. It's hard to stay quiet because I feel like I'd be nagging otherwise. He pushed himself so much that he wasn't losing weight (because he wasn't eating enough either). I gave him advice to slow it down and work his way up. He tried my advice and saw results. It still didn't last.

He's expressed his want to start lifting lately. He told me that he might go to the gym with one of his friends tonight. I think it's great that he's wanting to get healthy and go to the gym again, but the other side of me is worried that he's going to push himself and get hurt like he has before. Should I express my concern, or let him do his thing?

Read him articles on proper form, so he doesn't hurt himself. There is a wide variety of pre-workout supplements that can help him focus and get "hyped" about going to the gym. I've tried several, favorite is Assault.
