He was 65 years when he stopped walking and then at 66 he died as he didn't,t have good routine. He was approximately 110kgs.

    The problem with people who get that big is when they want to diet, they feel like they are starving to death. Eating much less food because their stomachs are so much bigger, and it requires more to feel full. The brain is tricking them into thinking they are not eating enough. What they can try is eating low calorie foods or munch on things like plain Cheerios or soups that don't have fat, and a ton of junk in it. Eat the same amount but less fat less junk. I know it is hard to do because they have been doing the same thing for so long, and whoever is buying their food needs to be monitored. Once the weight starts coming off gradually move, but he would need surgery to remove all that stretched out skin.

    He will also need physical therapy after he loses the weight because if you have been sitting in a chair for most of your life your body becomes like the chair, and muscles don't work like they should. You can't just tell people to move or eat less it is not as simple as you think.

    @julianbigelow2794 Před rokem

    It is not that hard to avoid becoming morbidly obese. If we are talking about maintaining the level of physical fitness necessary to run a 5 K race, that would require discipline and sacrifice. You would have to be very careful about what you eat and you would need to exercise regularly. However, if your goal is to simply avoid becoming so fat that you Google search a restaurant to see if the booths are big enough to fit you. It is not that hard to remain thin enough that the average chair can support your weight. It is almost as if you would need to out in an effort to get that fat. You would have to consistently eat entire meals when you are already full in order to get so fat that you live in constant fear that a chair will break under your weight.
