The people in this thread assuming this guy's problem is gluttony are disgustingly ignorant.
This guy has a physical problem that started at birth or before. He cannot process calories in the same way you do.
Most people who reach this kind of weight do so on normal diets. Some even continue to gain weight on restricted diets.
He has a disability His problem is beyond his control. But just because his disease makes him obese, you ridicule and insult him.
I'm sorry, but if he managed to lose 321 pounds on a 1200 calorie a day diet in just two months he was consuming far more than 2000 calories a day.
For all you know, his diet was a mere 2500 calories (2500 is the norm, not 2000).
And study after study has shown for the obese it takes very little extra to gain weight, and NO extra to maintain it.
I'll tell you what. I'll pay you 1 million if you can gain enough weight to weigh 1300 lbs.
The guy has a disability. Blaming him for his condition is like blaming someone for any other incurable or genetic disease. It's ignorant.
this thread reminds me of the thread with the fat guy who needed a fork lift to get onto a public transportation bus.
screw genetics or disabilities. If you don't each much, you WILL NOT GAIN WEIGHT!!! You cannot weigh 1,000 lbs without eating too much. there is just no way possible.
if you don't believe me, show me a picture of a 1/2 ton Ethiopian.
