Sometimes a person gains weight because of illness. But most people have a different reason - they eat too much and don't move enough. Obesity can make a person's life incredibly difficult, both mentally and physically. However, some people have even become famous for their weight. Here top 10 fattest people in the world of those living today.
10. Dzhambulat Khatokhov - 240 kg
The fattest man in Russia was born on September 24, 1999, and by the age of 1 he already weighed 17 kilograms. And by the first grade, Dzhambulat's weight reached 115 kg, thanks to which his name appeared in the Guinness Book of Records. His mother says that her son inherited his Herculean dimensions from his grandfather.
Dzhambulat gained worldwide fame thanks to the documentary video “The Biggest Boy in the World”, which was broadcast on many television channels around the world.
Currently, the young man's weight reaches 240 kg, and he is not at all embarrassed about it. On the contrary, Khatokhov is consciously increasing his body weight and plans to compete in sumo wrestlers. He is actively involved in sports, has participated in TV shows and has visited Japan and England at the invitation of journalists.
9. Donna Simpson - 290 kg
This enterprising lady with excessively curvy shapes created her own website where her fans paid to watch Donna eat to get even fatter. According to foreign publications, she earned $90,000 a year this way. In 2010, Donna received the title of "The Fattest Mom in the World" and immortalized her name in the Guinness Book of Records.
However, in 2011, the woman decided to lose weight to 170 kg in order to be more independent and be able to fully care for her two children.
Simpson is a proponent of the fat-acceptance movement and mocks people who "feel guilty when they overeat."
However, even at her “peak form,” Donna was far from the late Carol Yager, who, with a height of 170 cm, weighed 544 kg.
8. Terry Smith - 320 kg
This black American woman was once an active woman, despite being overweight since childhood. By the age of 20, she weighed 100 kg, but lived a full life, and then got married and became a mother.
As Terry aged naturally, she steadily gained weight and eventually became bedridden. The situation is complicated by the fact that the woman suffers from constant headaches and doctors suspect a brain tumor. However, MRI is not available for patients of such dimensions.
7. Paul Mason - 445 kg
Mason's breakfast was food for ten people and included bread, bacon, sausages and eggs, while snacks consisted of 40 packets of potato crisps and 20 chocolate bars a day. The NHS had to widen the doors and corridors of Mason's home so that restaurant staff could deliver food directly to the fat man's bed.
Mason was called the fattest man on Earth, but that didn't make him happy. The Briton was tired of his appetites; he no longer wanted to consume almost 20,000 calories daily.
In 2015, Paul Mason underwent gastric bypass surgery. To ensure the operating room could support the patient's weight, engineers had to install metal supports under the floor. The man's love for Rebecca Mountain prompted him to lose weight. Thanks to this bright feeling, he lost 305 kg and got rid of 21 kg of excess skin. Unfortunately, the couple broke up.
6. Katrina Raiford - 454 kg
Katrina was sexually abused as a child and began to eat to cope with stress. At 14, she had to undergo treatment in a psychiatric hospital for problems with overeating. The Florida resident spent most of her life within the four walls of her own home, interacting with her peers only online.
However, Katrina did not lose hope for a normal life and managed to lose 261 kg with the help of gastrointestinal surgery and a strict diet. She is not going to stop there and already goes to romantic dinners with boyfriends.
5. Andre Nasr - 468 kg
Australia's fattest man sought medical help in 2015 after being unable to leave his home for two to three years. Andre was consuming 12,000 calories a day - six times the recommended daily intake for Australians.
An Australian man became so obese that one of the walls of his house had to be taken down so that health workers could take him to hospital, where he joined a special treatment program.
Since then, Nasr has lost more than 170kg and says he wants to help others overcome extreme obesity.
4. Kenneth Bramley - 468 kg
At one time, Kenneth was considered the fattest man on Earth, and a documentary film, Half Ton Dad, was made about his life. He was bedridden for four years, and a fire department had to break down a wall in his house to get him out and take him to Renaissance Hospital in Texas. There, Brumley managed to lose 175 pounds in 40 days.
The weight-loss procedure involved restricting the man's daily diet to about 1,200 calories per day. By comparison, Kenneth consumed about 30,000 calories per day.
3. Mayra Rosales - 470 kg
If you look at the photo and after losing weight, it will be hard to believe that this is the same person. This woman is living proof that it does not matter how much you weigh. What is important is the right motivation to lose weight.
In order to take care of her nephews, Myra lost weight to 200 pounds. Her sister Jaime Lee is serving a prison sentence for the manslaughter of her two-year-old child. Rosales initially took the blame, saying that she accidentally sat on her nephew and crushed him. However, during a high-profile investigation, the truth came out. And the real criminal was punished.
2. Juan Pedro Franco - 585 kg
In 2016, a Mexican man entered the Guinness Book of World Records as the fattest man in the world. At the time, he weighed just under 595 kg. In a short film shown by the BBC, Franco explains that after a car accident at the age of 17, half of his body was “broken” and he was unable to fully recover. However, doctors were unable to figure out why he had gained so much fat. Franco suffered from diabetes, high blood pressure and hypothyroidism.
He has now lost 132 kg, down to 453 kg. He has a team of 30 professionals helping him with this for free. The man's goal is very simple - to get up from the couch on his own. This motivates him to do exercises and even undergo gastric bypass.
1. Khalid ibn Muhsen Shaari - maximum weight 610 kg
As a teenager, the Saudi Arabian weighed 610 kilograms, just shy of the record set by the fattest man in history, American John Minnock, who weighed 635 kilograms.
Khalid's achievement, which is extremely dubious in terms of health benefits, was recorded in the Guinness Book of Records.
In 2013, the King of Saudi Arabia ordered the young man to be hospitalized. He also paid for the treatment. The young fat man was taken to the clinic on a military plane.
Two hundred and ninety kilograms - that's how much the fattest man in the world weighs after all the medical manipulations. Thanks to the efforts of doctors and Khalid himself, he managed to lose 320 kilograms. And by 2016, the heaviest man in the world regained the ability to walk.
