People will do nearly anything to enter the Guinness World Book of Records and it is said to be a huge honour, but this is very untrue if the title you obtain is ‘The World’s Fattest Man’. And no one knows more about this than Manuel Uribe the Mexican man who weighed more than half a tonne is now on the road to changing his life after his wife left him and he decided to overcome his sick addiction to fast food! The good news is Manuel has lost 518 pounds in 2 years and whilst he is still heavy he is moving steadily along and shedding the pounds thanks to a strict diet consisting of mainly grapefruits, egg-white only omelettes, fish, chicken, vegetables and peanuts.

I think that the phrase ‘It’s never too late’ was created for this man who is going to be 43 soon and has been bed ridden for years but who will hopefully be able to live a normal life soon! His dream is to leave his house which he will attempt next month in celebration of his birthday. I really do hope Manuel achieves his goal and becomes ‘The Man Who Lost The Most Weight’!
