Manuel Uribe, who according to Guiness Book of World Record hold the dubious title of Heaviest Man in the World, has lost half his body weight thanks to a low-carb diet:
Medics from Italy and Spain visited him and offered to carry out gastric bypass surgery on the bed-ridden mechanic. But Mr Uribe refused and instead accepted the help of US and Mexican doctors and nutritionists who prescribed a high-protein, low carb diet and exercise regime that he has followed for two years.
This week Mr Uribe announced he has dropped 40.7 stone - 570 pounds - from his high of 89.8 stone - 1,257 pounds - in far less time than doctors had anticipated.
"I'm going to throw a big party," he said from his home in Monterrey, where his mother and fiancée take care of him. "I'm getting out of my house and going for a walk."
Good for you, Manuel! Link

deberia sentirme orgulloso de ser nicolaita?
As to the low carb thing - if it works great - but in the end, it's calories in versus calories used and it really doesn't matter to your body's biochemistry (weight loss wise) what those calories are.
Rolls aside, that leg looks well on its way to an infection of some sort.
Good for him though, diets are hell, I go on one every other month it seems just to stay at a normal weight.
