Fight life as world’s fattest man starts dieting

The world’s fattest man has started dieting after doctors told him he wouldn’t live to turn 50 unless he did something to lose weight from his massive 368kg.



Keith Martin, 42, hasn’t left his house for 10 years and his girth, at 1.8m, is more than his height, 1.75m.

Mr Martin told Britain’s Doctor that finding out he was the fattest man on Earth was the catalyst for him attempting to lose weight.

But he has a long way to go to change his diet and his size.

When Mr Martin was at his worst he was eating up to 20,000 calories a day, comprising an array of fat and sugar-laden foods and treats.



The food included a packet of bacon, six sausages, six eggs and toast and beans for breakfast.

Lunch was all that and more and then there was the pizzas, kebabs and curries for dinner.

And the eating didn’t stop there. It included chocolate, biscuits, fizzy drinks and coffee with lots of sugar.

Now, Mr Martin is trying to restrict himself to 1500 calories a day – and says he’s lost 10cm.

Mr Martin last left his house on September 11, 2001.

He said his life changed after his mother died and he started eating big amounts every time he was upset. Before he knew it his eating and his weight were out of control.
