Obesity is not a few extra pounds, but a deadly condition that can lead a fat person to death at any time. But the problem of this pathology does not apply only to modern man, the data of archaeological excavations indicate that fat men existed in the Stone Age, which is 30-50 thousand years BC. Let's talk about the fattest people in the world who have been officially registered.

How much does the fattest person on the planet weigh?

The fattest people in the world gain their weight due to a sedentary lifestyle, indefatigable appetite and numerous stresses. It has always been believed that the most obese citizens of the United States of America, but a few years ago, Mexico came out on top in the number of fat people. Fat Mexicans make up 70% of the country's population, according to the United Nations.

But if we talk about record holders for obesity, then Americans remain ahead of the rest. So, according to unofficial data, US citizen Carol Yeager was the fattest person on the planet. Her maximum weight reached 727 kg, although it was not officially confirmed. As for the registered fattest man in the world, he is the American John Minnoch, who weighed 630 kg. His name is inscribed in the Guinness Book of Records.

Top 10 fattest people in history

The problem of fat people arises in all countries of the world. But most of all, people from developed countries are obese, where the lifestyle is “sedentary”, and the available products are very high in calories. In addition to the fact that a fat person is constantly gaining extra pounds, he has an increased risk of cardiovascular diseases, pathologies of the kidneys, liver, diabetes, digestive cancer and other diseases. Here are the stories of the fattest people in the world.

Carol Yeager

According to Wikipedia, the fattest American Carol Yeager was born on January 26, 1960, and suffered from an eating disorder since childhood. The starting point for obesity, according to Carol herself, was sexual aggression in her family. As a young girl, Yeager could not walk or stand because her muscles could not bear such weight. The fat girl was in the hospital 2 times a year, and each hospitalization took place with the participation of firefighters. In everyday life, Carol was served by visiting nurses, her relatives and friends.

The fattest American woman was tried several times to be treated by nutritionists, but this never led to positive results. Yeager suffered from immunodeficiency, various skin infections and persistent swelling. In 1993, a fat American woman was hospitalized, and she was prescribed a daily diet of 1200 calories, against which the girl herself lost 236 kg. However, after discharge, the lost kilograms were regained. The fattest woman in the world died in 1994 (aged 34) from kidney failure.

John Brower Minnoch

Another fat man was born in the USA on September 29, 1941. John Minnoch was obese since childhood, and at the age of 12 he already weighed 132 kg. The fat young man was constantly gaining weight until he was admitted to the hospital at the age of 37 with respiratory and heart failure. At that time, Minnoch weighed 634 kg. It took more than 10 firefighters, a special stretcher, and a ferry to transport the patient to the Washington Medical Center to hospitalize the fat guy.

Fat man Minnoch stayed in the hospital for 16 months, during which he lost 419 kg, which was the largest weight loss among all men in the world. But a year later, the fat American was again taken to the medical center, during this period John gained more than 432 kg. Doctors recognized the obesity of this man as an incurable disease and stopped the treatment of the fat man. In September 1983, at 362 kg (41 g), John Brower Minnoch died.

Manuel Uribe Garza

Mexican citizen Manuel Uribe was born on June 11, 1965, weighing 2.7 kg, which is normal for an average newborn. As he grew older, due to a good appetite, the increasingly fat Manuel constantly gained kilograms and, by the time he came of age, already weighed 121 kg. By the age of 25, the weight of a young man was 184 kilos, and by 30 - 245. Realizing the magnitude of his problem, Uribe turned to surgeons for help, who performed plastic surgery on the abdomen of a fat Mexican, removing excess fat, after which the man managed to lose 160 kg.

However, during the operation, the doctors damaged Manuel's lymph nodes, which eventually caused extensive tumors to appear on the thighs, which prevented the already fat man from moving freely. With such problems, the man was bedridden and gained 342 kg in three years. In 1999, the body weight of the fat Manuel Uribe was 502 kg. But it was not yet a fat man's record weight. In 2004, the Mexican became the fattest man in the world, and his weight was 597 kg. Manuel died in May 2014 (aged 48) from complications caused by obesity.

Walter Hudson

New York's fattest man Walter Hudson was born on July 20, 1944, and as a child he was overweight from his peers. But the fat man became a famous person 43 years after his birth, when he got stuck at the door of his house. 9 firefighters rescued a fat man, for which it was necessary to make a hole in the wall of the house and pull the man out with a fire hydrant. At that time, Walter's weight was 217 kg. But Hudson was included in the Guinness Book of Records not as the heaviest man on the planet, but as a fat man with the widest waist - 3 m 02 cm.

The fat American almost did not leave his house, and his business was connected with trading on the Internet, which made it possible to gain weight very quickly. For many years, Hudson was pleased with his appearance, although due to obesity he did not get out of bed. But one doctor still persuaded the fat man to go on a diet, after which the man lost 90 kg. Death overtook the heavyweight in a dream in December 1991 (47 years old), when he weighed 510 kg.

Michael Edelman

Another well-known fat man in the world, Mike Edelman, was born in the USA in 1964, and began to recover from early childhood. At the age of 7, the boy weighed 70 kg, and at the age of 10 he stopped going to school, because the fat child did not even fit at the desk. Michael from school to death spent his life lying in bed, and his family could not resist the excessive appetite of the heavyweight. For example, for breakfast, this fat man ate:

4 bowls of porridge;
toasts;
several cakes;
waffles;
big pizza;
1 liter soda.

Michael Edelman went on a diet several times, but all the restrictions ended with a call to pizza delivery and a piece of chocolate cake. The fat man corresponded for some time with another of the fattest men on the planet, Walter Hudson. After the death of the latter, Michael was afraid for his health and almost completely refused to eat, quickly losing tens of kilograms. But this did not help the poor fellow, and in 1992 (28 years old), having practically starved himself to death, weighing 272 kg, the fattest American Edelman died.

Francis John Lang (Michael Walker)

American Michael Walker was born in 1934. The young man had no problems with obesity - while serving in the army, the future fat man weighed only 68 kg. After the army, the man began to quickly gain weight, and he explained his uncontrolled appetite as a side effect of the drugs prescribed by the doctor. When the fat American stopped getting out of bed, he quickly realized that even this could make money.

Walker bought a mobile home and traveled around America flaunting his huge body for money. He was lying on a large bed, telling those who wished about the dangers of modern medicines. Michael weighed as much as possible in the summer of 1971 (538 kg), and six months later the fat American was hospitalized on suspicion of a heart attack. After the hospital, Walker began to lose weight, and by 1980 lost 180 kg.

Paul Mason

The fattest man in Great Britain, Paul Mason, was born in 1961. This is one of the few fat men in the world who was able to overcome his illness and become a full member of society. From early childhood, Paul suffered from an uncontrollable appetite and by 2007 weighed 444 kg. The fat man's stomach consumed up to 20,000 calories a day, but did not feel full. When the extra pounds of the fattest Briton did not allow him to move, he was transferred to the care of the National Health Service.

The doctors said that Mason did not have long to live, then the fat man decided to undergo a gastric bypass, as a result of which the stomach decreased to the size of a chicken egg. As a result of such a surgical intervention, Paul was able to lose weight, because saturation came much earlier. The operation gave the fattest man in the world hope for a normal existence and long life.

Keith Martin

Another famous fat man in the world is British citizen Keith Martin. When the young man was 16 years old, he began to gain extra pounds after the death of his mother. By the age of 25, the fat Briton no longer fit into clothes of even the largest size, but he did not stop eating a lot. By the age of 32, Keith ordered clothes only from specialty stores, and by 2008 he stopped climbing the steps of his house and settled on the first floor.

The fattest Briton at 42 suffered from severe asthma, arrhythmias, terrible migraines and constant joint pain. With a weight of 358 kg, a man did not leave the house for 10 years, and for the last 7 years he did not get out of bed. Martin was served by 7 doctors who visited him daily. One of the fattest men in the world tried to kill himself several times, but died after pneumonia at the age of 44.

Suzanne Ehmann

The fattest woman in the world - American Suzanne Ehmann was born in 1979. But the story of her obesity began already in adolescence, when the girl caught the eye of an article about the fattest people in the world. At that time, Suzanne worked as a model for fat women, but after a little thought, she decided to break all records in order to achieve fame in this field. Ehmann calculated that to achieve the title of the fattest woman in the world, she needed to eat more than 20,000 calories daily, but this did not turn out to be a problem for her appetite.

Although doctors warn Susan that obesity can lead to dangerous health consequences, the fat woman continues to gain weight, claiming that she feels better with every kilogram. In the period from 20 to 30 years, Emann recovered by 225 kilograms, and now she is confidently moving towards her dream - to become the fattest woman in the world, not only today, but at all times. Posting her photos and videos on YouTube, the fat woman has a large army of fans.

Jessica Leonard

The fattest child in the world is called 7-year-old Chicago resident Jessica Leonard. Upon reaching the age of 7, the girl weighed 222 kilograms. Fat Jessica could not sit, walk, roll over on her side on her own. The mother helped the fat child move around, who fed her daughter to a huge size, constantly stuffing her with fried meat, french fries, chips and other fast food.

When the news about the fat girl spread all over America, it was decided to put the child in a clinic, where she was put on a diet and forced to exercise. After 1.5 years, Jessica lost 140 kilograms, but there was one more problem - excess skin. After several operations, the fattest girl in the world turned into an ordinary child, began to attend school, communicate with her peers.

Video compilation of the fattest and heaviest people in the world

As you can see, being the fattest man in the world is very difficult. All fat people suffer from a set of different sores and do not live long. If obesity is caused not by a constant desire to fill the stomach, but by some disease, then it is possible to return a fat person to normal weight. But if the increased appetite is caused by mental disorders, then the problem of obesity is difficult to remove, and it takes a very long time to treat the patient not only by nutritionists, but also by psychotherapists. See in the video what the fattest people in the world look like:

This is an ugly appearance, problems in personal life, difficulties in choosing clothes and serious illnesses. But for some people, obesity is something to be proud of. We present to your attention a list of the fattest people in the world. They became popular precisely because of their excessive fullness.

12th place. Mills Darden

Mills Darden is considered the largest man in the world. Why does he not lead the TOP, but is located only in 12th place? Because he was not too fat by the standards of the rest of the fat people on the list. Mills Darden was heavy primarily due to its size.

Donna Simpson - 285 kg

While others dreamed of losing weight, not to mention achieving an athletic body and good health, Donna Simpson gained extra pounds and followed her ideal - 1000 pounds, about 450 kg. It is not clear why the woman chose this role model, but she is proud of the title of one of the heaviest women in the world.

Despite health problems and obesity, Donna has two children - a 14-year-old boy and a 3-year-old girl. The woman even has her own fan site where men pay her to watch her eat fast food. Yes, everyone's fetish is different.

Chronology of Donna's modifications:

March 2010 - weight 602 pounds (273 kg);
December 2010 - weight 292 kg;
June 2011 - weight 317 kg.

This rate is absolutely logical, because Donna eats more than 12,000 calories a day, which is about 20 Mac burgers.

Fortunately or unfortunately, in 2011, Donna decided to lose weight due to disagreements with her fiancé, who had been with her for 5 years, but decided to leave for unknown reasons.

Georg Jolitsoer - 289 kg

Calling him the thickest will not work, because there are contenders with more powerful weight. Nevertheless, George's story is quite amusing. He came to restaurants, ate food and did not pay for it. The reasons were different - stale meat, vegetables not the ones he wanted, too salty, and so on. At the same time, he ate everything that was brought to him.

The police arrived after Georg once again came to the restaurant and did not pay the $ 50 bill because, according to him, the meat was covered with mold. The police did not arrest him, because the maintenance of such a prisoner would cost the prison dearly, but Georg did not go unpunished - he was sent to a nursing home and subjected to house arrest. At the time of his arrest, the man weighed 289 kg.

Paul Mason - 444 kg

Fat people, whose weight goes beyond a few centners, experience serious problems with life in society or in their own home. What can we say about health and how to live to old age. But Paul Mason, weighing 444 kg, lived to be 56 years old.

According to the man, he began to get fat at the age of 20. At first it all started with childhood emotional trauma, which Paul did not eat the most healthy food. Then it was difficult to stop, and the weight began to rapidly gain. So Paul reached the mark of 444 kg. He decided to stop when he fell in love.

Paul had a gastric bypass, several other operations, went on a diet, exercised and lost up to 120 kg. After he went for another operation and removed 21 kg of excess skin.

Maira Lizbet Rosales - 500 kg

Myra was born in Texas, USA. At 32, she had already been bedridden for several years, because she weighed 500 kg. Ordinary movements or movement around the house was impossible for her. Doctors called this degree of obesity pathological. When the lawyer came to the girl, he mistook the folds of fat on his legs for pillows.

Today Myra threw off ... 400 kg! Perhaps this is a great example of what a person can achieve if he sets clear goals and follows them. 11 operations, a special diet and constant physical activity, even a regular walk in the fresh air, helped. But, of course, all movements became possible after the operation.

For those who decide that you can simply “pump out” the fat from the surgeon and do not need any fitness, they are mistaken. Such operations are carried out gradually so that the body can get used to the lost weight. There were cases when patients, after “pumping out” fat, died after a few weeks or a month, since the body did not accept the “new body”.

Today Myra helps others believe in themselves and change their bodies for the better. Given her history, we can safely say that Myra is a true example of strong willpower.

In this photo, Mayra is in Andrey Malakhov's studio and weighs 100 kg. Yes, it really is her.

Patrick Diyuel - 511 kg

Patrick was born in Nebraska, United States. In his youth, he worked as a restaurant manager. He ate stress food, because of which he began to rapidly gain weight. After some time, Patrick quit his last job and did not appear on the street for 7 years, because his weight no longer allowed him to even move around the house.

When the man had to be hospitalized, the rescuers cut a hole in the wall, since Patrick no longer passed through the door. For example, for another guy from Saudi Arabia, Khaled Mohsen al-Shaeri, rescuers ordered a forklift to take the man to the hospital. He weighed 610 kg.

Patrick was taken to Sioux Falls Hospital. She was the only one with large doors through which he could be brought. The man had a gastric bypass and was "pumped out" of excess fat so that the man could at least move.

Patrick stayed in the hospital for 12 months, during which he lost 260 kg. When he left the hospital, he weighed 190 kg.

Rosalie Bradford - 544 kg

Rosalie Bradford is another example of strong willpower. She is known for two "titles" - the woman who gained the most weight and the woman who threw off the biggest weight.

By the age of 14, Rosalie weighed almost 100 kg, which is no longer normal for a teenager. By the age of 44, the woman reached her maximum - 544 kg. The only movement he could make was to clap his hands. This condition led to depression and a suicide attempt.

An unsuccessful attempt made Rosalie rethink her life, and she decided to lose weight. The first task is to reduce the number of calories consumed. The woman went on a strict diet, which is already a strong-willed decision - it is not so easy to give up donuts, chips, sweets, french fries and other dishes and switch to a healthy diet.

When Rosalie was able to move, she added exercise to her diet. Kilograms left - the woman lost 190 kg, and then reached the goal of 416 kg. Unfortunately, rapid weight loss, weight gain, numerous surgeries led to serious complications that Rosalie's body could not cope with, and she died at the age of 63.

Manuel Uribe - 587 kg

Manuel had problems with obesity since childhood. As a teenager, he already weighed 3-4 times more than his peers. Of course, the other kids bullied him, and Manuel ate his stress with yet another portion of fast carbohydrates. Very quickly, he gained 587 kg, which is why he did not appear on the street for 7 years.

For help, the man turned to television. Some doctors responded to his request and suggested a surgical correction of the situation - bariatric surgery. Manuel refused surgery, because, as you know, such operations can be fatal, and decided to lose weight with a rigid protein diet.

Thanks to strong willpower, proper nutrition, a limited amount of carbohydrates and fats, the man got rid of 380 kg. With a weight of 205 kg, Manuel was able to get out of bed and engage in physical activity. So he went outside for the first time in years.

And this is Manuel at his wedding:

Unfortunately, in 2014 the man died. His body could not cope with such stress (weight loss for the body is also stress).

Khalid bin Mohsen Shaari - 610 kg

When the weight of Khalid bin Mohsen Shaari reached 610 kg, the king of Saudi Arabia personally gave the order to take him to the hospital, since Khalid was not going to correct the situation. The boy was taken on a forklift to Riyadh Hospital in 2013 at the age of 22.

Thanks to the efforts of doctors and constant monitoring of diet, Khalid lost 320 kg. Despite the fact that losing such weight is stressful for the body, the guy’s heart and lungs worked better, and the muscles on his legs got stronger, and he was able to stand up. When Khalid left the hospital, a custom-designed wheelchair was prepared for him so that the guy could move around the street.

John Brower Minnock - 630 kg

Examples of fat people who have lost weight motivate other people not to let themselves go. However, not everyone benefits from this.

John Brower Minnock weighed over 630 kg. It was not possible to accurately determine the figure when weighing - the man could not stand on the scales. In order to deliver him to the hospital, a special stretcher and a ferry had to be built.

John spent 16 months in treatment. The constant supervision of doctors, strict adherence to a diet (1200 calories per day with an exact percentage of proteins, fats and carbohydrates) and special loads gave their result - the man lost almost 420 kg.

By the time he left the hospital, John weighed 215 kg instead of 630 kg. But two years later, the weight returned, and the man gained 217 kg. Doctors have established that this is a disease and it is incurable. John died in 1981 at the age of 40 and weighing more than 360 kg.

Carol Yeager - 727 kg

Carol gained weight for various reasons, but it all started with a psychological trauma in her childhood. She was sexually assaulted by a family member, resulting in an eating disorder. In other words, Carol was eating tears, resentment and fear instead of going to a psychologist.

So the woman gained 727 kg, did not move at all, because of which the muscles weakened and refused to work. Realizing the futility of the situation, the woman turned to doctors for help. Private nutritionists were replaced by clinics, but there was no result. Carol decided to go on a diet on her own, limited her diet and ate a set amount of carbohydrates per day, which is very difficult, given what the body has become accustomed to over the years.

So Carol became not only the fattest woman in the world, but also the woman who lost the most weight without surgery. Despite the excellent results, later the weight returned, as well as the diseases associated with obesity.

Carol went to the hospital, and the rescuers had to order a fire truck - the width of her body was more than 1.5 m. The hospital could not do much. Carol died in 1994. In the death certificate, the doctors wrote - kidney failure, morbid obesity, multiple organ failure.

For dessert

In most cases, the causes of obesity are clear and obvious - overeating. For example, tomorrow a person who weighs more than 300 kg.

Weight is a problem that has always worried people. It seems to most that their body weight could be smaller, and almost every woman dreams of losing a couple of extra pounds. One can argue for a long time about whether it is worth striving for an ideal figure or whether to follow the proverb “there should be many good people”, but obesity is one of the main problems of our century. Affordable carbohydrates, constant meals in fast food restaurants, a sedentary lifestyle lead to the fact that the weight of many people reaches critical levels. However, your extra pounds may seem like a mere trifle if you find out about what monstrous figures a person’s weight can reach. Maybe this article will help someone stop and think about the fact that it is better to stick to a healthy diet and not take things to extremes.

This Englishman was not only a custodian of the transit prison and a connoisseur of sports animals, but also one of the most obese people in the history of Great Britain. Daniel was born March 13, 1770 in Leicestershire, died at the age of 39. At the end of his life, Daniel eked out a very miserable existence: he could not work because of his weight. Therefore, the man rented an apartment in London and took money from the curious, who were eager to see the fattest man in England with their own eyes.

By the way, during his lifetime, Lambert did not like to weigh himself. To find out his weight, friends had to deceive. Having lured him out of the house under the pretext of a trip to the cockfight so beloved by the man, they put him in a carriage, brought it to the ground scales and quickly jumped out. Knowing the weight of the empty carriage, they calculated that Lambert weighed 320 kilograms.

The second weighing of Lambert took place only after his death: at that time his weight was 335 kilograms. More than 10 square meters of wood had to be spent on the manufacture of the coffin of a man.

Despite the fact that the weight of the man was not a record, for the British he is a kind of cult figure and one of the city's idols.

It is believed that Mills Darden is the fattest man on earth of those registered by official medicine in the 19th century. He was born on October 7, 1799 in North Carolina. The man weighed 463 kilograms with a height of 2.3 meters. The huge weight did not prevent Mills from starting a family, he even had children. The height of the wife of the heavyweight was only 1.5 meters, and she weighed 44 kilograms.

Mills Darden has died at the age of 58.

Minnock Brower, who was born on September 29, 1941, weighed 630 kilograms. Minnock is the heaviest man in the world in history.

However, this number is only an approximation, since due to Minnock's limited mobility and the terrible state of his health, accurate measurements could not be made. Obesity tormented Minnock since childhood: at the age of 12 he weighed 130 kilograms. The boy's parents did not try to fight their son's overeating, and his body weight increased and increased with age. The man gradually lost the ability to move independently and stopped leaving the house. At 37, Minnock first went to the hospital, as he developed heart failure. For transportation to the hospital, a rescue team had to be involved. In the hospital, Minnock occupied two beds at once, and in order to change his bed linen, he had to use a team of 13 people. The doctors decided to help the unfortunate lose at least a little weight and prescribed him a strict diet. As a result, after 16 months, Minnock lost 419 kilograms, which became the official weight loss record for men. Brower left the hospital weighing "only" 215 kilograms.

Unfortunately, he failed to keep this figure, and a year later he was again in the hospital with a weight of 419 kilograms. Minnock's disease was recognized as incurable, and doctors refused to treat him. As a result, the unfortunate man died at the age of 41 with a weight of 362 kilograms.

Manuel is often called "the fattest Mexican in the world." In 2001, Manuel's body weight was 588 kilograms. At that time, he had not left the bed for a long time.

Manuel dreamed of getting rid of his huge weight and sought the help of doctors on television. He received a number of proposals: doctors offered to perform a stomach resection operation and remove some of the excess fat. However, Manuel decided to lose weight naturally with a protein diet. As a result, already in 2007, he weighed 381 kilograms. This allowed Manuel to leave the house for the first time in years and go outside.

In 2008, Manuel even proposed to a woman named Claudia Solis, who came to cut his hair. Claudia agreed to marry Manuel.

However, this story does not have a happy ending. The "heaviest Mexican" could not keep the weight: if in 2011 he was able to reach the mark of 187 kilograms, then in 2012 he reached 444 kilograms.

Manuel died in 2014 from diseases that arose in connection with obesity and constant fluctuations in body weight.

Carol is considered the largest woman ever recorded by medicine. Her weight can be shocking: he was 727 kilograms. This figure is unofficial, and the maximum weight of 527 kilograms is recorded in medical documents. Carol's height was 170 centimeters, so you can imagine what her body looked like. Carol could not move on her own: her muscles simply could not withstand the enormous weight of her body.

The woman's illness was the result of an eating disorder. Carol claimed that she began to overeat after she was sexually abused by a close relative.

By the way, Carol holds another record among women: she managed to lose as many as 236 kilograms without resorting to surgery. True, the weight quickly returned back, because, after leaving the clinic, the woman continued to kill herself with huge portions of food.

Carol passed away before reaching the age of 35. At the time of her death, she weighed 544 kilograms.

All the heroes of the article suffered from their weight and were aware of the perniciousness of their own food addictions. Surprisingly, there are people who voluntarily decide to set original records. For example, American Donna Simpson said in 2010 that she intended to become the heaviest woman in the world. In order to gain weight, she consumed 12 thousand kilocalories daily. Donna had her own website where all her fans could watch her gobble up huge portions of fast food.

Donna has already managed to break one record: she became the most obese mother in the world and gave birth when her weight was 241 kilograms.

The girl stubbornly walked towards victory, until a tragedy occurred in her personal life: her young man, whom she met for five whole years, left Donna. After that, the girl went on a diet to lose two hundred kilograms.

Doctors say that in the near future obesity will become a real disaster for humanity. Fortunately, Russia does not yet have a global problem with obesity, although there are more and more reports of people whose weight reaches unprecedented levels. For example, the heaviest boy in the world is Russian Dzhambulat Khotokhov. At the age of 10, he weighs 150 kg.

The life of people suffering from monstrous obesity can hardly be called happy. They have to give up all the joys of life, and they die early enough. Maybe you should deny yourself another donut or sandwich to avoid such problems?
