• This guy weighs as much as 10 people's normal weight.
  • He is so heavy that he is practically bedridden and immobilsed by his own weight.

Wow! Can't imagine a person can be so much overweight.

If tuberculosis and hunger are the main causes of death in the third world (poor countries) then obesity, on the contrary, is one of the main causes of death in the rich and affluent countries.

I just can't imagine how one's body fails to warn the system when one indulges in excessive eating. How could one grow so much like the one depicted in this pic? It's really crazy and unimaginable.

    I have a habbit of collecting stories from newspapers of countries I visited. This pic I re-took it from a newspaper, I think, from Singapore.
    My intention of putting it here is to alert people that our body system is not all that perfect as oftentimes it fails to send us the warning signal that says something has gone very wrong.

    I have seen some horrific images on the net, but this must rate as one of the worst. It is hard to know which image would be most upsetting, the one above or that of a person starving to death. Probably the latter as that is less commonly self-induced (or less easily treated under present regimes).

    Thanks for bringing it to us.

    If I'm not wrong, for this particular case it was due to genetic disorder.

    Hi friends, good news! I read a newspaper article few days ago mentioning about this guy. He is a Mexican and is doing fine now. Under doctors' treatment, he has managed to reduce 200 Kg of his fat and is a lot healthier now. He holds two world records - at 560Kg, he was once the heaviest man on earth and now the reduction of 200Kg is awesome and a record of all time.

    I understand what most of you are saying about this man, but sometimes it's not really their fault. Sometimes, the human body doesn't tell the brain when the stomach is full. So you always have then since of being hungary, even after you just ate a whole pizza. It's call proder willy, I think that's how you spell it. I don't know, even with the desease, how people can let themselves get that big. Sometimes it is called pasing yourself and self control, but then again, there are some people who don't have that since. But it you know you're getting VERY FAT, even if you're still hungry, you should know when to stop. I can eat a plate of food, still fill like I"m starving, and just stop because I know it's not good for my body. So I have to agree and disagree with some of you.

    From the latest news I heard that, under the good care of doctors, he had shedded off as much as three hundred over kgs of fat and weighed about 160 kg now. He was so happy with the progress and told the news reporters that very soon he could walk to the street himself without help.

    Good news for him and so glad to know that he would be able to live like a normal man now.

    Eating is part and parcel of a normal life style and a natural process for our body to gain the nutrition and vitamin, but overly indulged in it will do more harm then good.

    It applies to any thing in life. Don't you think so?

    I have seen a few thing about this man. He seems like a really nice guy. I feel awful for him. Also there is many people around him who care about him. So why are they giving him the food ? At this point he cannot get it for his self. Anyone who knows anything about food knows the huge amount of food that must be taken in everyday to maintain such a size. On the other hand he did not get this way over night and will not loose it over night either. I hope this man the best.

    Heard good news about this gentleman, Mr Uribe. He is getting hitched soon after losing more than one third of his weight.
