She couldn't walk, she was sick diabetes mellitus and heart failure. Carol Yeager died in 1994. At the time of death, her weight was 545 kilograms.

From this article you can find out who is considered the fattest person in the world. This information has been officially confirmed, or has been recognized by the public, because people learned relatively recently to measure the mass of bodies.

Carol Yeager

A US citizen named Carol Yeager is considered the fattest woman on Earth. Carol was born in 1960 in Flint. She differed from her peers by her greater weight even in childhood. Main reason The girl's excess weight meant a constant and unlimited appetite that gave her no rest.

By the age of 20, Carol's weight had increased so much that her legs were no longer able to support her own weight. The girl was unable to make basic movements, and therefore she practically became bedridden. She required constant medical care, and her daughter Heather also looked after her. Carol's weight then was 544 kg, but her maximum weight was 727 kg.

Without a doubt, it became clear that the mass had acquired a life-threatening nature that threatened health and even life itself. Every day the woman added kilograms, and at the same time her health worsened.


Trying to lose weight

In the end, she contacted the popular nutritionist Richard Simonson and the then famous TV show host Jerry Springer.

According to the agreement, she took part in Springer's show, i.e. advertised his TV show, and in return Carol was provided with free treatment. Jerry Springer agreed to become his sponsor. However, in fact, the woman was unable to receive tangible help from the famous nutritionist - the result was zero.

John Minnock and his sad story

The title of “The Fattest Man in the World” was officially awarded to John Brower Minnock, a resident of Bainbridge, USA. His weight reached, scary to think, about 630 kg.

This weight indicator, truly fantastic, became known to the whole world after Minnock was examined in 1978. John was examined by a council of doctors at a Seattle clinic. Minnock was a taxi driver by profession, but due to his excessive weight, the man had to give up work completely.

Even to determine the “parameters” of a person of such thickness, it was necessary to solve a difficult problem. It took 13 or more men to turn Minnok from side to side!

Manuel Uribe and his success

Another one of the fattest people in the world is Manuel Uribe. In 2001, it weighed almost half a ton, and then it was no longer capable of outside help get out of bed. By 2007, he already weighed 560 kg. Manuel decided to turn to surgeons for medical care. They performed surgery on him to truncate his stomach. Manuel promised then that he would go on a diet and get rid of excess weight. And he succeeded!

The man was lucky - he lost almost 200 kg. Manuel Uribe managed to become a record holder in two categories at once:

  • As the person who lost the most extra pounds weight.
  • Like the fattest person.

Thanks to his weight of 560 kg, Uribe was included in the famous Guinness Book of Records. Having gotten rid of 200 kilograms, Manuel gained the ability to move independently, without the help of strangers. The first thing he did after losing weight was marrying the woman who had supported him all the time and helped Manuel over the past two years.

Of course, the fattest people in the whole world are doomed to experience a lot of all sorts of inconveniences in life. You need to understand that such a colossal amount of extra pounds poses a threat not only to human health, but also to human life itself.

Even surgical operations to reduce the stomach or the same liposuction are not able to help such people, because after this they again begin to eat food uncontrollably, and everything returns to its original place!
