Nazir Ahmed weighing 190 kg could finally move out of his second floor tenement in south Mumbai Sunday after five years of staying indoors when the main door and a wall was broken and a dozen fire brigade personnel lifted him down the staircase on a special stretcher,made from bed sheets
Obesity surgeon Dr Sanjay Borude requested the fire brigade to bring Ahmed out because he would not have been able to walk down the narrow, rickety staircase of the century-old, three-storey building by himself.
Fire brigade personnel  carried him down the stairs, placed him in an ambulance and escorted him till the hospital.
During the operation, the doctors will cut off about two-thirds of his stomach, thereby reducing his appetite. “Ahmed should be able to start walking within three days after the surgery and he is likely to lose 10 kilos in the first month,” said Dr Borude, who has performed the surgery on a 19-year-old boy from Qatar who weighed 283 kg.

Ahmed is expected to lose around 100 kg over the coming year.

Her workout consists of a series of compound exercises to work those legs. She’ll do a step-up with reverse lunge, a squat with a curtsy, and side-reaching lunges with a side step. The combinations really work the upper thigh muscle and Teddy has Cameron hold 10 to 20-pound weights while doing the lunges. For their mat Pilates workout they make use of the reformer machine. Teddy explains why:

“I keep the workout as high-paced as possible because of time restraints. Generally, it has a cardio element.”

Teddy obviously knows what he’s talking about because she look fantastic!

The 42-year-old from New Jersey is set on reaching the 1,000lb mark (71st) in just two years.

Remarkably, she insists she is healthy despite now needing a mobility scooter when she goes shopping.

“My favourite food is sushi, but unlike others I can sit and eat 70 big pieces of sushi in one go,” the American told the Daily Mail.

“I have to eat 12,000 calories a day and hope to achieve my goal in two years.”

Donna, who wears XXXXXXXL dresses, eats mounds of junk food and tries to move as little as possible.

Ms Simpson already holds the Guinness World Record as the world’s fattest mother.

Simpson says her boyfriend Philippe, who she reportedly met in a fat fetish chat room, encourages her.

“I think he’d like it if I was bigger. He’s a real belly man.”

Simpson makes money by running a website where men pay to watch her eating food.

“I love eating, and people love watching me eat. It makes people happy, and I’m not harming anyone.”

Have a Drink People .Yes, a new study has revealed that drinking a glass of wine after a hard day’s work doesn’t make women fat, contrary to the dietary advice that alcohol consumption leads to weight gain

In fact, researchers have found that women who drink wine are likely to gain very less weight than those who stick to mineral water — moreover, moderate drinkers also possess a lower risk of obesity
than teetotallers.

According to the researchers, the study suggests a calorie from alcohol has less impact on weight than a calorie from other foods and that the way the body deals with alcohol is more complex than realised.

And, one theory is that in regular drinkers the liver develops a separate metabolic pathway to break down alcohol, with surplus energy turned mainly into heat, not fat, ‘The Sunday Times’ reported.

The researchers have based their findings on an analysis of 19,000 women aged 39 or older with a healthy body weight to describe their drinking habits in a questionnaire.

About 38 per cent drank no alcohol.

Over the next 13 years, the researchers found that all the women tended to gain weight but the non-drinkers gained the most. The women’s overall weight gain decreased as alcohol intake increased.

There was also a difference according to the type of alcohol — red wine was associated with the lowest weight gain; beer and spirits were linked to the highest weight gain, the study found.

The report, published in the ‘Archives of Internal Medicine’ journal, seems to confirm that there is no clear connection between alcohol consumption and weight gain.

The 37-year-old actress has given up her strict macrobiotic diet regime due to her long-distance relationship with Coldplay singer Chris Martin.

Sources on the set of her new movie ‘Love Don’t Let Me Down’, which is currently filming in Nashville, say she is finding separation from Chris and their children Apple, five, and Moses, three, difficult.

However, she is finding solace with her co-star Tim McGraw.

A source told the Daily Mail: “Gwyneth and Tim have become very close. He’s married and older than her, but he’s a good sounding board. In recent weeks her macrobiotic diet has gone out of the window.”

Gwyneth’s spokesperson said: “She has been back in Nashville for only two-and-a-half weeks – she was in London for a week before that.”

Recently the ‘Ironman’ star admitted she needed help to keep in shape, and thanked celebrity trainer Tracy Anderson for kicking her “formerly sagging a*s into shape”.

The former postman has now had the band fitted, and is understood to have told staff at Chichester Hospital, West Sussex, about his book plans during his three week stay.

He wants to tell people how he achieved his dramatic weight-loss, and will write all about it in the autobiography, which he is calling ‘The Journey’.

A source told The Sun: “He has been telling people in hospital how he has been writing this book and it will reveal how he has managed to lose so much weight. He has been in good spirits.”

Prior to the treatment, Mr Mason admitted eating 20,000 calories a day, eight times the amount needed by an average man.

His care bill costs taxpayers an estimated £100,000 a year and is believed to have topped £1 million over the last 15 years.

Firefighters had to demolish the front wall of Mr Mason’s former home in Ipswich so they could drive a fork lift truck inside to lift him out and put him into an ambulance when he needed a hernia operation in 2002.

Mr Mason took the title of the world’s heaviest man after Mexican Manuel Uribe, 43, more than halved his 90st weight to get married last year.

PRIME MINISTER FULL OF HOT AIR

Brown’s banana diet fad risks big digestive trouble

Dieticians fear excess intake as PM eats nine

London: When it comes to politics, bananas can cause a whole bunch of trouble. David Miliband never fully recovered his status as a serious politician after waving one in front of TV cameras during his botched leadership coup in 2008. And if he’s not careful, Gordon Brown could also fall foul of the fruit. On Monday it was revealed that, in an effort to keep healthy, the Prime Minister is eating up to nine bananas a day.

But that, say experts, could cause some seriously unwanted side-effects — the least of which might include flatulence.

Brown’s wife Sarah is said to be responsible for the new dietary fad, having persuaded the 58-year-old to ditch his favourite KitKats. The PM is reported to have ordered staff to leave a giant bowl of bananas in his study and eats them during meetings. He has also taken up jogging to boost his fitness.

Brown’s spokesman said: “The Prime Minister has always taken the view that a balanced diet is very important. Portions of fruit and veg taken on a daily basis can only lead to good health and radiance.”

Bananas are high in carbohydrates and fibre. However, experts warn that eating nine a day is “excessive” and could lead to indigestion as well as frequent trips to the toilet.

Sian Porter, from the British Dietetic Association, urged Brown to curb his intake and to replace them with other fruits for a more balanced diet.

She said: “There is a lot of fibre in bananas. A lot of volume in means a lot of volume out.

“If people decide to increase their fibre intake, we recommend that they do it gradually. Too much fibre can lead to gastrointestinal problems. We would applaud him for replacing KitKats with bananas, but we encourage people to eat a rainbow of different fruits and vegetables.” Porter added that Brown needed to watch his calorie intake as a large banana contains as many as 180 calories.

The Mayo Clinic Diet was a very popular diet in the 1970s and 80s. Now it’s back with a brand new book, The Mayo Clinic Diet: Eat Well. Enjoy Life. Lose Weight, which has been such a huge hit in the States it’s risen to the top of the New York Times bestseller list. The book kicks off with a two week plan that involves replacing five bad habits (such as mindlessly eating in front of the TV and eating sweets after meals) with five good ones (always have breakfast and walk for at least 30 minutes every day). It’s all very simple, but very sound and you can expect to lose up to 10lbs in the first two weeks.

The second stage of the book is a little easier, and you’ll see a steady loss of 2lbs a week. It involves nothing more complicated than a simple food pyramid. The largest section of the pyramid is the bottom (the base) and is made up of fruits and vegetables. The next level up involves smaller amounts of wholegrain carbs, like bread and rice. Then the next level up is lean meat and dairy, followed by good fats like avocado and nuts. The top – and smallest layer – is sweets and chocolate. Meaning nothing is off limits! But – say the authors – if you keep the Mayo Clinic pyramid in mind at all times (ie, you eat lots of fruit and veg, some good carbs and lean protein with every meal, a little fat and the occasional sugary treat) you’ll steadily drop the pounds until you hit your target, then it will be easy to maintain your new weight

Swap coffee
…for something else. If you want to get in shape fast, ditch your regular cup of coffee and go for a fat-burning drink instead. Studies show that green tea revs up your metabolism, so aim for several cups a day.

Take some supplement
Fish oil supplements are a great way to shed pounds. A recent study found that volunteers who took them lost, on an average, two kilos over three months without changing their diet or exercise habits. Fish oils are great for helping your body burn fat more efficiently.

Avoid salt
That’s the advice most weight-loss experts give. When people cut down the salt in their diet, they instantly look slimmer and less bloated. Too much salt makes your body retain water, which makes you puffy around your face and stomach. Go for low-salt breakfast options

Also, don’t add tablesalt to your food or cooking, avoid salty snacks such as crisps and go easy on processed sauces which are often packed with salt.

As a guide, avoid foods that contain more than 0.5g of sodium per 100gm on the label (sodium is just another way of describing the salt content). The fresher your food, the less salt it’s likely to contain. And be very careful about take-aways – Chinese food, in particular, is loaded with salt because of the sauces.

Ditch sugar
Like salt, sugar is a diet baddie. Even though sugary foods – such as boiled sweets and mousses – are often labelled ‘low-fat’, they’re incredibly high in calories. And if you don’t work off the calories by exercising, that sugar gets stored as fat – usually around your stomach and waist. Sugar also increases your hunger. So, ditch the sugar in your tea and also the colas that you gulp down every day.

Eat low-sugar snacks instead. Chopped vegetables, for example are rich in fibre, so they’ll keep you fuller for longer and will aid your digestion, which helps to reduce bloating. Alcohol is practically pure sugar, so give that a miss, too. If you drink regularly, you’ll notice the difference after giving it up for a week.

Relax
If it is day seven already, don’t worry. You can still lose weight! Stress really does make you fat. It causes hormones to be released into your body that encourage fat deposits around your waist and stomach.

Scientists have found that those with the biggest waist measurements (though not necessarily the heaviest) had the highest stress levels. The hormones secreted during times of stress are instrumental in causing more fat to be stored, particularly around the abdomen.

The Cabbage Soup diet was regarded as the biggest flop, while Atkins – a high protein/fat, low carbohydrate diet – was branded “useless”.

The research, carried out by Superdrug, revealed that the average female spends 88 DAYS a year dieting.

In the survey, more than half preferred diets which left them feeling full after a meal, and 43 per cent chose those which were a slight compromise on their existing eating plan.

Forty-one per cent tried to lose weight whenever their favourite clothes did not fit. Four in ten slimmed down just before a holiday and 14 per cent tried to eat more healthy after a big weekend of eating and drinking.

Superdrug’s superintendent pharmacist Martin Crisp said: “Everyone is different, but the fact that the majority of girls we polled agree on a sensible approach to weight loss was very telling.

“Women recognise that those which restrict the intake of certain food groups have a negative effect in the long run.

“Indeed, women favour diets which allow them to have a little bit of everything – still eating foods they enjoy like chocolate and bread, but eating less than usual.”
