Manuel Uribe, of Mexico, was the heaviest man in the world. He weighed an astonishing 1232 pounds. He just celebrated his 43rd birthday - with a 400 pound weight loss.
The numbers are ridiculous and difficult to comprehend - but Uribe's determination is inspiring. Despite many failed weight loss attempts
(including a botched liposuction that almost killed him), Uribe is losing weight the old-fashioned way. He is eating a good diet and (believe it or not) exercising.
Although he is confined to his bed - a specially-tailored machine has been used to help Uribe engage in hand-biking and sit-ups.
Uribe has been assisted by Zone diet specialists (including Dr. Barry Sears) in his diet. Here is what he eats (about 2000 kcal per day):
Breakfast:
6 egg white scrambled eggs
¾ cup melon, ½ grapefruit, and 1 cup strawberries
3 tablespoons guacamole
Lunch:
3 ounces tuna salad with avocado and cucumber
½ grapefruit
3 cups vegetables
Snack:
Protein Shake (3 scoops Zone Protein Powder in water, 18 peanuts, 3 peaches or 1 cup mandarin oranges, blended)

2 cups vegetables
2nd Dinner:
