My husband and I have been following this on Discovery! It is truely unbelievable. This young man is 2000 pounds. He lives in Mexico and is on the Zone diet.
Yesterday they cut off 150 pounds of fat from his thighs. I was wondering if anyone else has watched this. I just can not imagine how his heart supports his body.
His name is Manuel Uribe and he lives in Mexico. If you google, you can see him. He is actually 2225 pounds.

I googled a bit, and it appears that he was 1,200+ lbs to begin with and is now down to 800 lbs. Apparently he was recently able to leave his house for the first time in five years. What's more, in the article I read (abc.com??) he claimed that he's healthy - no probs with cholesterol, sugar, triglycerides etc.!!
I know if I was that size I'd be plenty sick. Or dead.
