World’s Heaviest Man Loses 500 Pounds

At 1,235 pounds, Manuel Uribe of Monterrey, Mexico was the world’s heaviest man. Health officials once described him as one of the heaviest people in medical history.

 

After following the Zone diet for more than 2 years, he’s lost an astonishing 518 pounds, and has set his sights on a new goal – a Guinness world record for most weight lost.

 

Uribe had been housebound for six years before beginning his diet in March 2006, confined to a substantially reinforced bed.
