man named the world's fattest by the Guinness Book of World records credits a low-carb diet
The man named the world's fattest by the Guinness Book of World records credits a low-carb diet for helping him slim down to around 690 pounds from a high of 1,235, it is reported by the Daily Mail.
Forty-two-year-old former mechanic, Manuel Uribe was bedridden for six years, while stuffing himself with burgers, pizzas and soda.
Once the Mexico native decided to drop weight, he rebuffed doctors offers to have gastric bypass surgery, instead shedding almost 600 pounds by following a low-carb regimen, according to the report.
Uribe, who is the subject of a documentary airing tonight in the U.K., now hopes to slim down to about 265 pounds and is following an even stricter daily diet of fish soup, one grapefruit, half an apple and 18 peanuts, the report says.
One of his nutritionists, Alejandra Garcia, told the Daily Mail, "It's about controlling his hormones. It is not some outlandish fad diet. It is simple common sense refined by science."
