Incredible transformation! 🔥 Discover the story of a man who lost 419 kg and see what he looks like at 40. 💪
Currently, the record for body weight has been broken by an American resident. His name is John Brower Minnock.
Since childhood, the boy had a tendency to gain weight. At twelve years old, John weighed 132 kilograms, and at twenty-two years old – 178 kilograms. The body continued to gain weight, the process could not be stopped.
The man was listed in the Guinness Book of Records as the heaviest person in the world. However, his maximum exact weight was difficult to name. Firstly, the guy’s weight often changed, and secondly, weighing him is not an easy task. John’s size did not allow him to stand on the scale. Of course, with such obesity, John could not walk on his own, but that is not the worst thing. He could not even turn over in a lying position.
It took thirteen people to help turn the man over. John Minnock’s approximate weight was 600 kilograms.
The man was diagnosed with multiple health problems. At the age of thirty-seven, it was decided to take him to a clinic for treatment. For this purpose, a special operation was organized, in which many rescuers and volunteers participated. Also, various equipment was delivered: stretchers, couches, etc. When John was taken to the hospital, he was placed on several sleeping places at once. For this, the beds were pushed together.
When doctors examined the patient, they learned that such a large weight was associated with edema. John constantly had edema, excess fluid accumulated in the body.
Experts concluded that the amount of excess fluid in Minnock’s body was four hundred kilograms. An impressive figure! Doctors suggested that the swelling was caused by John’s love of salty food and sweets.
The first course of treatment lasted for a year and a half. All this time, the man was on a strict diet. His menu included only 1.2 thousand calories per day. This is three times less than John consumed at home. During the treatment, the man was able to lose 419 kilograms of his total body weight. His weight was 215 kilograms.
What happened to John is a real record. No one has ever managed to lose so many kilograms. Such an event was officially documented. When the man lost weight, he was even able to walk on his own, making an effort.
However, when John returned home, unfortunately, he began to rapidly gain weight again. A year passed, his weight returned to the mark – 432 kilograms. The guy was sent to the clinic again, but the specialists could not do anything. The disease continued to develop.
Despite such a difficult fate, John was a positive person. He had a great sense of humor. He was sociable, spent time in companies. The man’s comrades also suffered from obesity, but next to him they felt like athletes.
The man also managed to get a wife. His chosen one was thin, she weighed only fifty kilograms. Thus, their couple set another record – the biggest difference in weight between spouses. They even had children in the marriage, but there were rumors that they were not from John, but from another man.
The second course of treatment did not bring positive dynamics. John died at the age of forty-one.
