Every day we consume a lot of carbohydrates, as well as fatty foods, which make our body fat and ugly. But that's not the worst thing! By increasing one's volume, a person faces various health problems, and critical obesity can even lead to death. While the fattest people in the world are trying to deal with their problems, the rest of the fat people, who have not yet reached critical mass, continue to absorb food, causing harm to their health. This article provides examples and stories of some of the fattest people, looking at whom you will think about your diet and weight.
Huge Carol Yeager
Carol Yeager became famous as the fattest woman in history. It is said that her weight reached 727 kg, but this weight has not been officially confirmed. In the documentation you can find a note that her weight was 544 kg when the woman’s height was 170 cm.
Since childhood, Carol had an excessive appetite, which increased her weight more and more every day.
The reason for her strong appetite, according to her, was sexual harassment from a relative. The girl’s depression grew, and with it her weight increased. At the age of 20, Carol became so fat that her legs simply could not support her enormous weight. And the woman began to lead a bed lifestyle.
Carol Yeager died at 34
Over time, the American contacted the famous nutritionist Richard Simmons. In exchange for advertising the program, the girl was supposed to receive free treatment from this famous doctor, but, as it turned out, she never received help. Desperate, the girl began to visit various clinics, where, due to her high weight, doctors found more and more new diseases and complications. Carol was hospitalized about 8-10 times a year, which was not an easy process. After all, special equipment was involved in her transportation, transporting her heavy body from home to the clinic and back.
In 1993, the woman began to suffer from swelling, and her weight reached 540 kg. Thanks to the doctors who developed the diet and freed her body of excess fluid, the woman lost 235 kg of her total weight. But, unfortunately, losing weight did not relieve Carol of her problems and illnesses. When she returned from the clinic, she began to gain weight even more actively, eventually breaking all world records. Her weight at that time reached 727 kg, but this weight was not documented.
In 1994, the woman died of kidney failure. At the time of death, Carol's body weight was 544 kg. She was buried in a private cemetery, where about 90 people came to say goodbye.
Record holder Rosalie Bradford
Rosalie is recorded in the Guinness Book of Records twice. First as the fattest person on the planet, and then as the person who lost the maximum weight.
The woman was born in Pansylvania in 1943, and at the age of six months she was rejected by her mother. Rosalie's childhood cannot be called happy and carefree; she grew up in a foster family. Rosalie felt fear for her stepfather. When the girl was 8 years old, her mother unexpectedly returned and wanted to take Rosalie away from her foster family. But the foster family defended the right to raise the child.
The stress suffered in childhood influenced Rosalie's future life
How did Rosalie gain weight? From early childhood she was a chubby child. And closer to adolescence, the weight began to actively increase. First, at the age of 14, he approached the 100 kg mark. And just a year later the girl already weighed 140 kg. Despite being overweight, Rosalie met her destiny in the face of a man named Robert and got married successfully. After the birth of her son, Rosalie weighed 227 kg. At the beginning of 1980, a woman fell ill with sepsis, which confined her to bed. This is what caused further weight gain. During her illness, her weight reached 544 kg, when her height was only 167 cm. But, despite her enormous weight, Robert did not leave her. Moreover, he took full care of their son Robbie upon himself.
Due to her sedentary lifestyle, Rosalie developed terrible bedsores. And once, having fallen out of bed, she had to be lifted up with the help of a rescue squad. To lift it, they used a special device that is used to overturn cars.
The woman could no longer live like this and in 1988 she even tried to commit suicide, but, fortunately, she did not succeed. Then nutritionist Richard Simmons became interested in her weight. He developed a special diet and physical therapy exercises for Rosalie. So, starting with simple exercises and a developed diet, Rosalie lost 190 kg in a year. Then, continuing to follow the doctor’s instructions, the woman achieved a weight reduction of up to 300 kg.
She lost 416 kg and her weight was 128 kg. With such a huge weight loss, Rosalie was left with a large amount of excess skin. And then she decided to remove this skin using plastic surgery. It was this idea that became fatal for the woman. And in 2006, when she was 63 years old, Rosalie passed away. This heroic woman still remains one of the fattest women in the world, having lost such a record weight.
The cause of Rosalie's death was a complication after surgery to remove excess skin.
Jonn has always been a man of immense size. He is officially considered the fattest person on the planet, his weight is documented. He was born in 1941. The young guy, working as a taxi driver, already weighed 120 kg. His weight grew rapidly until it reached 635 kg.
Jonn couldn't even move in bed by this point. To turn it over, I had to call about 14 people for help. The man began to have health problems due to his weight. He was hospitalized and prescribed a special diet, thanks to which he lost 215 kg. But after treatment, John began to quickly gain weight again.

This heavyset guy was born in 1991 and is a resident of Saudi Arabia. It was listed in the Guinness Book of Records due to its enormous mass of 610 kg. Having such weight, he could not walk or move.
By order of the King of Saudi Arabia himself, in 2013, the young man was taken on a special plane to the hospital. Abdullah also paid for Khalid's treatment. The guy was transported by several people at once. And in order to get it from where it lived, we had to dismantle part of the house.
At the hospital, Khalid was helped to lose about 320 kg. And now he can move around using a special wheelchair. Doctors have found that the guy’s excess weight is not due to his diet.
In fact, Khalid’s huge mass is the result of the guy’s health problems. Without the operation, the young man would simply have died.
In 2016, Khalid began walking again
At the age of 22, Manuel's body weight was 130 kg. Then his weight actively grew until he reached 587 kg. The man could no longer get out of bed. The Mexican realized that something needed to change in life. He began to contact specialists who offered him surgery to reduce his stomach. The man refused this procedure and began to lose weight using a special diet. He gave up foods rich in carbohydrates and ate large amounts of protein. Thus, he lost weight to 381 kg.
The Mexican’s beloved woman was also the reason for the sudden weight loss. She helped him do special exercises and conducted dance classes. The human attitude did its job, and Manuel began to actively lose extra pounds. His weight after special exercises and diet was 187 kg. Unfortunately, in 2014, the man died in the hospital from health problems caused by excess weight.
Love works wonders and helps overcome any difficulties
Another victim of fast food is a man named Patrick Dewell. His fate is not so tragic, because the man got married and is still alive. He grew up as a completely healthy child and was almost not overweight. But then it started to pick up sharply. The maximum weight of a man was 511 kg. Doctors refused to treat him, but he eventually found help. The man's treatment required more than $1 million, which was paid for by the hospital administration.
Patrick was hospitalized in a special car, and in order to arrange a bed for him, two beds had to be moved together. During treatment, Patrick lost 144 kg, but he decided not to stop there and lose another 203 kg. And he almost succeeded.

The woman claimed that she accidentally crushed him with her weight. But later the situation became clearer, and Myra was acquitted. In fact, in this way she wanted to cover up her sister, who brought the child to death with brutal beatings.
Myra continues to eat healthy and maintains her weight at normal levels.

Carol was born in 1960 in Flint, Michigan, USA. And already as a little girl she began to differ from her peers in weight and impressive dimensions. main reason her fullness is an insatiable appetite. Carol admitted that the desire to eat haunts her after she experienced severe stress - one of her relatives molested her.At 20, Carol Yeager weighed so much that her own legs could not support her. The girl was chained to the bed; she could not even make basic movements. She was cared for by her daughter Heather and paramedics. Gradually, everyone began to understand that the weight would play a rather bad joke on Carol's health. Every day the situation went downhill - the girl gained weight. As a result, the American was able to contact nutritionist Richard Simmons and showman Jerry Springer. At the latter, Carol began to participate in the program, promoting it. And as payment I received free treatment. However, it later turned out that she did not receive any help from the nutritionist.
Hoping to somehow improve her well-being, Carol Yeager began visiting local clinics. But here, too, failure awaited her - the doctors could not help her. Due to excess weight and bed rest, the girl began to develop new diseases and their complications. Hospitalizations became regular - the American woman was taken away 8-10 times a year. Moreover, firefighters and their special equipment were involved in each transportation, otherwise it would simply not have been possible to transport such a fat man to the hospital.
In 1993, during another hospitalization, Carol's weight reached 540 kilograms. She suffered from swelling. The liquid did not have time to leave the body, as a result it put pressure on the internal organs and even leaked through the skin. At the Hurley Medical Center, Carol Yeager managed to get rid of 235 kilograms by sitting on a special diet. They helped her remove excess water from her body. In addition, nutritionists allowed her to eat only 1200 kilocalories per day. But losing weight did not relieve the woman of heart failure, impaired breathing and excess blood sugar.

And, as a result, she became known as the fattest man in the world and as the fattest woman. The width of her body reached 1.5 meters, and her mass index was 251, at a time when the norm was only 18-25. However, the weight of 727 kilograms was not officially registered. It was only confirmed by the public. Previously, representatives of the Guinness Book of Records measured Carol, then, with a height of 170 centimeters, she weighed 544 kilograms. This mark was not enough for a new record.
After another hospitalization in 1994, Carol Yeager died. She died at the age of 34. Doctors recorded his weight at the time of death as 545 kilograms. The fattest woman is buried in a private cemetery in Flint. Only her family and friends saw her off on her last journey.
The fattest man in the world
John Minnoch is not only the fattest man in the world, but also officially the fattest man. He was born in 1941 on Bainbridge Island, Washington State. He was fat all his life. Despite this, he worked, communicated with people, in a word, lived a full life. When he was young, he worked as a taxi driver. Then he was about 20 and already weighed 180 kilograms. At the age of 24-25, the first problems came with extra pounds. In 1966, his weight reached 317.5 kilograms, and John Minnoch was getting fatter every day. After 10 years, he was already enormous - 400 kilograms. The man stopped moving independently and was very limited in funds. A recumbent life and constant eating led him to weigh 635 kilograms with a height of 185 centimeters. There was a huge amount of fluid in his body - about 400 liters. It took 14 helpers to turn him over on the bed. 
Nutritionists came to the aid of John Minnoch. And they prescribed him a strict diet - only 500 kilocalories a day. The man claimed that such a restriction in food was only killing him. Only muscle mass decreases, not weight.
After the diet, John went to the clinic and underwent a special weight loss course. The treatment was effective and already in 1981 the fattest man began to weigh only 215 kilograms. During the course, the man lost 5 kilograms per week. It was possible to remove excess fluid from the body. But after discharge, the weight that had been lost with such great difficulty returned back. In just a week, John gained 90 kilograms. After such a dubious record, Minnoha was again hospitalized and allowed to eat 1,200 kilocalories per day. In 1983, the fattest man on the planet passed away. At the time of his death, he weighed 363 kilograms. The man left behind a wife and two children.
The fattest man in the world who was able to lose a record number of kilograms
Already at the age of 22, Mexican Manuel Uribe weighed 130 kilograms. And he began to rapidly gain weight. It got to the point that since 2002, the man could not get out of bed and, accordingly, leave his house in Monterrey. In desperation, he asked specialists for help. The Italians offered to perform an operation on him - to perform an anastomosis on gastrointestinal tract. But the man refused and went on a diet. 
He ate low-carb, high-protein meals. Doctors monitored the weight loss process. The situation changed dramatically when the woman he loved moved in with Manuel Uribe. Claudia was already married, and her husband died of a heart attack due to obesity, she began to help the man exercise and dance.

The fattest child in the world.
Jessica Leonard was born in Chicago. The world learned about her in 2007, when the girl shocked everyone with her appearance on popular American television channels. At that time, the 7-year-old child weighed 222 kilograms. And there were very specific reasons for this. Food was her greatest passion. Mom says that her daughter constantly asked for food as soon as she got up after another meal. Moreover, her diet included only unhealthy dishes, mainly fast food. The girl happily devoured giant portions of French fries, fried chicken, chicken, pizza, cheeseburgers, hamburgers, and washed it all down with soda. There were 10 thousand kilocalories in the “baby’s” belly per day, while the child’s norm was only 1800. Caroline Shu Guzh’s mother reported that she simply could not refuse a hungry child. Jessica threw hysterics and tearfully asked for more food. 
As a result of such concessions, at 3 years old the girl weighed 77 kilograms, and at 4 - already 100. The American could not move independently or even stand. But she could crawl, sit and roll, but with severe shortness of breath. And at the same time, Jessica had her first problems - first with movement, then with speech. Due to the heavy weight, Leonard's body has changed - the bones of his legs are curved, the joints are frozen in an irregular shape. All this is accompanied constant pain. Facial obesity has led to difficulties in conversation, so the baby rarely speaks.
After a series of reports about the fattest child, the public was horrified. The police were inundated with requests to help the child. People demanded that the abuse of the girl end and that the mother be brought to justice. Jessica was admitted to the clinic and put on a strict diet. She was forbidden to eat fried, fatty and starchy foods, and was forced to do physical exercise. A year and a half later, Jessica weighed 82 kilograms. However, there remains stretched skin that needs to be removed. After a series of operations, doctors plan to return Jessica Leonard to normal life.

Our site has already written about people who are overweight. In particular, we talked about the fattest woman and girl on our planet. Today we will find out who is the fattest man in the world.
In the entire history of medicine, he is considered to be Jon Brower Minnoch, born on September 29, 1941 in the USA. Its maximum weight was as much as 630 kilograms. The most interesting thing is that this figure is very arbitrary, since the complete lack of mobility, poor health and John’s weight did not allow doctors to ascertain the exact weight of this man. However, he was still listed in the Guinness Book of Records.
According to historians, John Brower suffered from obesity since childhood. So, at the age of 12 years, his weight reached 132 kg. However, it cannot be said that he was tall - his height was 185 centimeters. At 22 years old, he already weighed 178 kg. Throughout his life, his body weight constantly grew, as a result of which, at the age of 37, Minnock was hospitalized due to respiratory and heart failure. Already at that time he weighed more than 600 kg! In order to take him to the hospital, several dozen rescuers and firefighters were called, and the medical stretcher had to be significantly altered - the usual ones would have simply fallen apart! After John was removed from the house, he was sent on a specially prepared ferry to the University of Washington Medical Center in Seattle. They prepared in advance for the arrival of the patient - he was placed on two beds pushed together. The patient caused a lot of problems for the medical staff. So, just to change his bed linen, it took at least 14 people!
After 16 months, John was discharged from the hospital - at that time he weighed only 215 kg, having lost more than 400 kg during treatment. This was done thanks to a special diet - no more than 1200 calories per day.
Barely a year had passed when Minnock was hospitalized again - his weight at that time was 432 kg. Doctors declared his illness incurable. John died in 1983 at the age of 41. At the time of death, his weight was 362 kg.
If we talk about our days, the leader here in terms of body weight is Manuel Uribe, a native of Mexico, born on June 11, 1965. It cannot be said that Manuel began to gain weight since childhood, but at the age of 22 he reached 130 kg, after which his body weight began to grow rapidly. In 2001, it got to the point that he simply could not get out of his bed (his weight at that time was more than 580 kg and remained practically unchanged over the next six years).
In 2007, he decided to turn to television for help. They started sending him all kinds of diets, and someone even suggested having bariatric surgery, thanks to which he could get rid of some of the extra pounds. However, the Mexican did not resort to surgical methods, but decided to lose weight on his own - with the help of only one proper nutrition. In less than a year, he was able to lose weight to 381 kg, adhering to a protein diet, and for the first time in a very long time he went outside on his own.
In 2006, he met Claudia Solis - the woman periodically came to Manuel to cut his hair and nails. This is how their friendship began. True, the woman’s parents were against her communication with Uribe, but she did not listen to them. In 2008, Manuel proposed to her and she reciprocated. Then its weight was 330 kg. But at the beginning of 2011, Uribe weighed only 187 kg. He's probably lost a fair amount of weight these days. What can I say - well done!
