Love conquers all. This is certainly so for the former heaviest man in the world. Mexican Manuel Uribe used to be the world’s most overweight person. He was in the Guinness Book of Records in 2006 after breaking the human weight record. Special weighing scales showed he weighed 560kg. He was so enormous he could not leave his room. He spent his whole life living on his bed, eating huge meals and watching TV. He decided enough was enough and that he wanted to change his life. He also wanted to marry his longtime girlfriend Claudia Solis. Uribe went on a crash diet and lost almost half his body weight. He lost a whopping 250kg and has slimmed down to a lighter 310kg. He still has a long way to go before he can once again lead a normal life.
愛能戰(zhàn)勝一切。對于前世界最胖男子也不過如此。墨西哥人曼努埃爾·烏里韋曾是世界最重男子。并于2006年創(chuàng)吉尼斯世界紀錄。通過特殊稱重器,他的體重顯示為560公斤。但因體重過重而無法離開房間。他的一生都在床榻上度過,在床上吃飯看電視。他決定改變自己的生活。他希望與女友克勞迪婭·索利斯結(jié)束愛情長跑。烏里韋決定絕食,并減掉了幾乎一半體重。他減掉了驚人的250公斤,如今他只有310公斤。要想過上正常人的生活,他還有很長的路要走。
The secret to 43-year-old Uribe’s success is his love for his fiancee Claudia. The two plan to marry on October 26 in his hometown of Monterrey. Manuel said he owed a lot to the love of his life. He said she encouraged and supported him non-stop to lose weight. After they got engaged two years ago, Uribe promised Claudia he would get into better shape for their wedding day. He went on a diet called the Zone Diet, a special combination of carbohydrates and proteins. His diet was created and supervised by a team of weight loss and obesity specialists. He is still too big to walk on his own and said his dream is to be able to walk again. Manuel told reporters that he will have a big wedding, but the reception would have a “low-calorie banquet”. He added this meant no wedding cake for him.
對于43歲的烏里韋來說,他的成功要歸功于他對未婚妻克勞迪婭的愛。二人計劃在10月26日烏里韋的家鄉(xiāng)蒙特雷舉行婚禮。曼努埃爾說他欠克勞迪婭的太多太多。她一直在鼓勵他減肥。就在兩人訂婚后的兩年前,烏里韋向克勞迪婭許下承諾,他將以更好的“姿態(tài)”參加婚禮。他開始了”區(qū)域減肥法”,這是一種蛋白質(zhì)和碳水化合物結(jié)合減肥法。他的飲食也由減肥團隊以及肥胖專家制定監(jiān)督。他仍然無法走路,而自己的夢想就是能夠再次行走。曼努埃爾對記者表示,他將舉辦盛大婚禮,但婚禮招待將以“低卡路里”為主。他還稱這意味著他將不準食用婚禮蛋糕。
