Someone too full of representatives of homo sapiens are astonishing, some have pity, others have even squeamishness. But all of them are united by popularity. The fattest people in the world are really interesting. Why are they not like us? How was their life? We will tell you about several fates and show photos of the fattest people on the planet.
Let's start with Carol Yeager, whose weight reached 727 kilograms in the prime of life. A fatter woman on Earth has not yet been. “Thanks” to the indefatigable appetite, a native of the city of Flint (Michigan) began to differ in respectable weight and decent dimensions already in childhood. As the woman admitted, a constant hunger began to haunt her after the strongest stress experienced, which led to the harassment of one of her relatives. At age 20, she was already bedridden, as her own legs could not support the enormous weight that grew constantly. The paramedics who helped care for Carol lamented: too much mass would necessarily cause many concomitant illnesses. Years passed. It would seem that fate smiled at the woman: Jerry Singer, who was a famous showman and nutritionist, found out about Carol. Payment for participation in the transfer was supposed to be free treatment. However, the woman did not wait for help from a nutritionist. Weight continued to grow. Carol really began to celebrate new diseases. An American was hospitalized several times a year. And for transportation I had to order special equipment, otherwise it was simply unrealistic to bring such a fat woman to the hospital. At the time of the next hospitalization, Carol weighed as much as 540 kg. Even then, the American suffered from heart failure and swelling. The liquid, which did not have time to leave the body, squeezed all internal organs through the skin. The efforts of doctors and a strict diet allowed to lose almost half the weight. However, the American failed to get rid of heart failure, high sugar and respiratory failure. Returning home, Carol again lay down on food and gained weight, unprecedented before - 727 kg. The reason why a woman was not included in the “Fattest People in the World” section of the Guinness book is unknown. Officially, the weight has not been registered. Carol died at 34.
The list marked “The Fattest People in the World” continues by John Minnoch, an American born in 1941 (Bainbridge, Washington). He was always Tolstoy, but this did not prevent him from living fully and even working. A twenty-year-old taxi driver with a weight of 180 kg did not even think about possible problems. And they did not keep themselves waiting. The man continued to get fat and by the age of 25 gained more than three hundred kilograms. His movements became limited, of course, he could no longer work. The mark of 317.5 kg was recorded in 1966. However, the limited funds did not affect the amount of food eaten by John. A few more years, the American added tens of kilograms. Weighing 635 kg, he became completely helpless. Doctors saw salvation only in a strict diet: 500 kcal per day. John was indignant, claiming that such food kills him, not cures him. The American was sent to a clinic, where another course was conducted, which allowed to reduce weight to 215 kg (15 kg “went” per week). It would seem that life should finally get better. However, returning home, John returned to his "diet", gaining 90 kg per week. Soon Minnokh was forced to go to the hospital again. Weight leaps continued until 1983. John died at 43, leaving two children and a wife. On the day of death, the American weighed 363 kg.
In the section "the fattest people in the world" was Manuel Uribe. The weight of 570 kg is recorded in the Guinness book. Gaining 130 kg by age 22, he did not stop there. Weight grew rapidly. Manuel became a hostage to his own body, unable to leave the house. The man refused the operation proposed by the Italians to anastomose the gastrointestinal tract, preferring a diet. When his bride Claudia moved to Manuel, the situation began to change dramatically. The woman who buried her first husband, whose heart failed due to obesity, did not want to put up with the disastrous situation of her beloved. Claudia monitored Manuel's diet, made him move, and even taught him to dance. The results shocked everyone: the Mexican lost as much as 230 kg! Today, Manuel wants to lose weight at least up to 100 kg to drive the ball with Claudia’s child.
A girl from Chicago was on the list under the title “The Fattest People in the World”. The society found out about Jessica Leonard in 2007, when the story hit American television channels. A seven-year-old child weighed … 222 kg !!! As stated by the mother of the "baby", the girl constantly demanded new servings of food. The child did not want to listen about normal and healthy food. Jessica gladly absorbed only fast food (pizza, cheeseburgers, french fries, hamburgers, etc.), washing it all down predominantly with soda. Every day, the stomach was forced to take more than 10 thousand kcal, with a norm of 1800 kcal. It seemed impossible to limit Jessica in food: the girl rolled up violent tantrums, begging her mother to put on the table a new portion of her favorite food. By the age of 10, a small American woman stopped walking (she only crawled or rolled) and spoke with difficulty (the muscles of her fat-filled face refused to work). Moreover, the bones of the legs bent, and the joints froze in irregular shapes. A series of reports about the incredible obesity of a child outraged the public. People demanded to punish the mother for bullying her own daughter and begin treatment for the girl. Doctors were engaged in "baby". A strict diet and active exercise allowed to reduce weight to 82 kg. Now Jessica has to undergo a series of operations to remove very saggy skin.
And now we will show you what the fattest people in the world look like (photos were taken at the “peak” of weight).

It is difficult to say how these people were guided, gaining such a mass. Most likely, they became a victim of their desire to eat deliciously and densely. But some of the most complete people on the planet were getting fat deliberately, with a view to see their name in the Guinness book. Among those obsessed with this idea is Donna Simpson, who weighed 273 kg at 43. The fact that her name appeared once in this book (as the thickest mother) was not enough. Now the American plans to double her weight, consuming at least 12 thousand kcal daily. The limit of her dreams is to be on the page of the famous book under the note "The Fattest People in the World." She is not afraid of the failure of organs and premature death. Whether her dream will come true, time will tell. So far, she has achieved only a divorce from her husband.
