News & Rants From The Devil

By Stan The Devil

So the fattest man in the world is in Mexico. Manual Uribe who once weighed over half a ton was able to leave his house for the first time in 5 years. He was wheeled outside on his bed and was received by neighbors with a mariachi band.

He reached the weight of 1,235 pounds. Manuel has already lost 395 pounds but he is still not able to leave his home on his own. He was able to loose the weight by starting a high protein diet. Manuel now weighs around 840 pounds.

Manuel is still so big that 6 people had to help him leave the house and pushed him around town, after some celebration a forklift lifted him into a truck and was driven around town. The 41 year old has exited to finally see the sky and enjoy the sun.

There were dozens of reporters and people all over town, following and trying to get a glimpse at this man. Manuel didn’t seem to mind, he was enjoying the day out around town.

When Uribe was young he was always a chubby kid and was over 250 pounds as a teenager. After 1992 his weight just kept going up. Since 2002 he has been unable to move around by himself and has been relying on his mother and friends to help around the house feed him and even clean him.

In January of 2006 Manuel Uribe pleaded for help on National Television, of course he become worldwide news. A Mexican Nutritionist working with the zone diet offered his services to Uribe. He accepted his help and says he will stick to his diet until he reaches his goal of 265 pounds.

Manuel Uribe had a blast leaving the house for the first time in 5 years. However his goal is to leave the house on his own, but he knows it’s a long process. Doctors have told him that it may take between three and four years. Manuel is also planning on starting a foundation to help overweight people learn about healthy eating and getting medical assistance.

My Thoughts

Manuel I am just going to say that you need to stop eating. Well I guess he stopped eating as much since he has already lost almost 400 pounds. I wonder why he didn’t think of doing something before hitting the half of ton mark. Have you heard of nutrisystem or maybe surgery, liposuction, working out? Oh well I guess we just have to understand after all he lives in Mexico and who doesn’t love Mexican food, burritos, tacos, tortillas… so good, I’d probably be fat if I lived in Mexico too. But good for him, he finally got to leave his house a few more years and he’ll be able to do it on his own.
