Some people are surprised by overweight representatives of Homo sapiens, someone - pity, someone - even disgust. But all of them are united by popularity. The fattest people in the world are really interesting. Why are they not like you and me? How was their life? We will tell you about several fates and show you photos of the fattest people on the planet.

Let's start with Carol Yeager, who reached 727 kilograms in her prime. There has not yet been a fatter woman on Earth. “Thanks to” an irrepressible appetite, a native of the city of Flint (Michigan) began to differ in solid weight and decent dimensions already in childhood. As the woman admitted, constant hunger began to haunt her after the strongest stress experienced, which was caused by the harassment of one of her relatives. At the age of 20, she was already bedridden, because her own legs could not support the enormous weight that was constantly growing. The paramedics who helped care for Carol lamented: too much mass is sure to cause manyrelated diseases. Years passed. It would seem that fate smiled at the woman: Jerry Spinger, who was a famous showman and nutritionist, found out about Carol. The payment for participation in the transfer was to be free treatment. However, the woman did not wait for help from a nutritionist. The weight continued to rise. Carol really began to notice new diseases. The American was hospitalized several times a year. Moreover, special equipment had to be ordered for transportation, otherwise it was simply unrealistic to take 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 was suffering from heart failure and swelling. The liquid, which did not have time to leave the body, squeezed all the internal organs, appearing through the skin. The efforts of doctors and a strict diet made it possible to lose almost half of the weight. However, the American failed to get rid of heart failure, high sugar levels and respiratory failure. Returning home, Carol again leaned on food and gained weight, unprecedented before - 727 kg. The reason why the 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 John Minnoch - an American born in 1941 (Bainbridge, Washington). He was always fat, but this did not prevent him from living a full life and even working. A twenty-year-old taxi driver weighing 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 gainedmore than three hundred kilograms. His movements became limited, he could no longer work, of course. The mark of 317.5 kg was recorded in 1966. However, the limited funds did not affect the amount of food John ate. A few more years added tens of kilograms to the American. With a weight of 635 kg, he became absolutely helpless. Doctors saw salvation only in a rigid diet: 500 kcal per day. John was indignant, arguing that such food kills him, and does not heal him. The American was sent to the clinic, where another course was conducted, which allowed him to reduce weight to 215 kg (15 kg “left” a week). It would seem that life should finally get better. However, after returning home, John returned to his "diet", gaining 90 kg per week. Soon Minnoch was forced to go to the hospital again. Weight jumps continued until 1983. John died at 43, leaving two children and a wife. On the day of his death, the American weighed 363 kg.

Manuel Uribe also got into the section "the fattest people in the world". The weight of 570 kg is recorded in the Guinness book. Having gained 130 kg by the age of 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 impose an anastomosis on the gastrointestinal tract, preferring a diet. When his fiancee Claudia moved in with 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 catastrophic situation of her beloved. Claudia watched Manuel's nutrition, made him move and even taught him to dance. The results shocked everyone: the Mexican dropped as much as 230 kg! Today, Manuel dreams of losing at least 100 kg in order to kick the ball with Claudia's child.

The list called "The Fattest People in the World" includes a girl from Chicago. The public learned about Jessica Leonard in 2007, when the story hit American TV channels. A seven-year-old child weighed … 222 kg !!! As the mother of the “baby” stated, the girl constantly demanded new portions of food. The child did not want to hear about normal and he althy food. Jessica happily consumed only fast food (pizzas, cheeseburgers, french fries, hamburgers, etc.), washing it all down with mainly soda. Every day the stomach was forced to take more than 10 thousand kcal, at a rate of 1800 kcal. It seemed impossible to restrict Jessica in food: the girl threw violent tantrums, begging her mother to put a new portion of her favorite food on the table. By the age of 10, the little American stopped walking (she only crawled or rolled over) and spoke with difficulty (the muscles of her face, which had swollen with fat, refused to work). Moreover, the bones of the legs were bent, the joints were frozen 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 start treating the girl. Doctors took care of the baby. A strict diet and active physical exercises allowed to reduce weight to 82 kg. Now Jessica will have to undergo a series of operations to remove severely saggy skin.

Now we'll show you what the fattest people look likeworld (photo taken at the "peak" weight).

It's hard to say what guided these people, gaining such a mass. Most likely, they fell victim to their desire for tasty and hearty food. But some of the fattest people on the planet deliberately got fat, in order to see their name in the Guinness book. Among those obsessed with such an idea is Donna Simpson, who weighed 273 kg at 43. The fact that her name appeared once in this book (as the fattest mother) was not enough. Now the American plans to double her weight by consuming at least 12 thousand kcal daily. The limit of her dreams is to be on the page of the famous book marked "The Fattest People in the World." She is not afraid of organ failure and premature death. Whether her dream comes true, only time will tell. So far, she has only achieved a divorce from her husband.
