The Heaviest Man On 600lb Life Breaks The Scale 

Oh wow!!! That's insane.

god damn. that’s heartbreaking.

It reminds me of the horror movie "Thir13een Ghosts" with the "Great Child and the Dying Mother."

He would need years of therapy to undo his mother and his relationship with food, but he didn’t have that kinda time

I honestly don't understand how/why when patients like this present to Dr Now, he doesn't have the authority to just put the son in hospital and ban all extra food, the mum can visit but she has to be searched for food, or she is banned from seeing him. Yes it's harsh but she killed him, he might have survived if these radical actions had been taken sooner. Obviously a huge tonne of therapy afterwards but the guy needed urgent intervention and I guessed he probably died but reading your comment still hit me like damn she actually killed him....

​@Alex.CulkinThey're both guilty. She failed as a mother, and he failed to see why he was so big, and never made an attempt to lose weight. That is on him. The fault of the mother is her enabling him.

I envy him

@Alex.Culkin it's literally impossible for to her not to have as his mother she either let it happen or did something to make it happen, the fact they both reached that size shows she didnt try (or didnt do enough) to stop it

Caseoh’s son 😭

I think it's completely fair. He was a lazy glutton, never contributed to society, never had any discipline in his life. Natural selection allowed the consequences of his actions to unfold.

Completely disagree. That’s like blaming a child for not being able to do multiplications when they’ve never been taught math. He can’t fix what he doesn’t understand.

@@anson.meadows How does blud not understand that needing to go to the hospital souly because of his size isnt good 😭

@@thehobbist5544 His perception and established comfort zone were corrupt. He realized there’s a problem but he didn’t have enough understanding on what that problem really entailed and what he needed to do to beat it…trapped in a loop. It’s culture and education. His mother killed him by fostering and allowing an unhealthy cycle. His agency wasn’t there. People like to believe it’s that simple but it’s not. This is why the military breaks you down, stripping you of your insecurities and problematic comfort zones, then builds you up to have new eyes, skills, and confidence.

For several weeks at least but he still needs protein. It's necessary for any form of repair process in the body (cells, wounds, organ and tissue maintenance), immune system, hormone production (this also requires essential fatty acids from nutrition). Otherwise the body will start self-digesting in an unhealthy way. So he at least has to eat protein and necessary unsaturated fatty acids in addition to the vitamins.

​@@FeuerblutRM dude is talking about starvation. by eating any amount of protein you will stop the process and body will just be malnourished(dude will be hungry af). If you drink only water after couple of days you will stop feeling hunger, body starts using fat cells to survive. You won't lose much muscle in 1-2 week of doing it and lose like 1 kilo per day. If you using protein might as well get TDEE and cut it by 20% and lose weight gradually to help the skin readjust. Man i've seen some pics of people that lost 100+ pounds fast and that is goddamn nightmare material with the skin touching the ground and everything.

Good job brother, stay strong, stay dilligent and disciplined. The more you train your body with the power of your mind and prove to yourself that your body is a slave to your mind and not the other way around. Try to fast more too if you find yourself on a budget, or try to eat cheap things like eggs and ground beef and most importantly try to do any sort of movement while fasting/keto. It massively boosts your bodies capabilities to burn fat when you do exercise and fasting/keto together. I believe you will reach your goal. Much love brother

I wish you all the best on your journey! You’re making fantastic progress!!! Keep it up ❤❤

Here a month later to ask how you're holding up! I was having trouble losing weight, then i got super sick and inadvertently lost weight (215 to 185)- im recovering physically, and using the weight i lost as a jumping point to get to my goal weight. Its been easier to get to moving, at least! Might as well try to make a negative into a positive, ya know :D I believe in you to stay healthy and on track to your goals, buddy!

That's great that he took her weight loss as motivation for himself instead of trying to sabotage her efforts.

I swear I know I give overweight people a hard time throwing their life and health away just by having a really bad diet but come on dude don’t give up on yourself. If other people are fighting to stay alive and loose weight trying that’s all that matters but I have no remorse for folks that just sit on their behinds all day and eat their day away everyday day and night it’s depressing I know it’s a mental factory but who doesn’t go through addictions? It comes in all forms! Hell I even deal with alcohol addiction…. But that’s just my two cents I’m slowing down drastically I used to drink everyday to literally once a month a beer reward to myself!

My husband is down 30 pounds and I’m down 45. We both cook fresh food at home now, even our own healthy twists on fast food favorites. I never thought I’d be that person. Every time I saw people losing weight I would think “I pray one day I can stick to it like they do”. Never give up, anyone reading this. Much respect to your boss and his wife. It’s difficult at 31, I can only imagine how hard it is being obese at 55. I don’t think my body would have made it.

​@@mochimochi7669 This dudes hormones are off...his voice didn't break

My Stepdad is 67 and has lost 25 lbs.

His voice is higher than mom

I'd argue she killed him 🤷‍♀

​@LeonieJMerry She led him to both of their deaths. He's very immature, and you can tell his mother never let him grow up.

​@@anthonyernst999 Yes. Exactly. I'd genuinely blame the mother, yes he was an adult, but obviously stunted and who's fault is that.. Especially since she raised him into this eating habit.

Losing weight really isn’t hard once you get in a routine. It is a lifestyle change but it’s completely doable. Getting to 900# is just pure laziness on his part and enabling to the extreme on the mother’s part. Ridiculous 🙄

Shouldve been OCrap

Not going to lie when I first glanced at it I swear it said "oh crap" hahaha

@@savannahsherry2778Me too lol

Oh crap, the machine gave up

Seriously, just looking at him Dr Now probably knew he was O-cap already, yet I appreciate the psychology behind trying to intervene in a subtle manner.

Well yes and no. A lot of of these people cannot afford the intensive therapy and medical treatment they require. In my country Australia, there are few services for people with anorexia so they end up at home with family doing their best.

Even before I looked at you channel, it seemed to me that you must be obese. Hopefully you can get it together and lose weight.

Just so happens that one is born from gluttony. Barely a comparison to make man.

Odd enough, it's not exactly the opposite. Overweight people can get anorexia I think it's rare but still has happened I'd have to do more research for exact cases

@@Steely420 Maybe go do said research before commenting it then?

Damn, that's a sad life.

At some point we have to acknowledge that he’s also a grown man and is as equally responsible for his own predicament. Please do not neglect the fact that he still had agency in that relationship.

He put the food in his mouth

So sad not finding "fat ppl jokes" nowadays on YT....ppl afraid of being reported 😢

They're both going straight to hell after they died 100%

LMAO fr enjoy those chips while u watch this

He's just keeping you honest

LMAO!!!

The one day I make the best cake I ever had in my life and ate half of it yesterday and am sick as hell today 😂

You’ll get i tomorrow. Moderation is A OK.

Congrats on the weight loss, I know how incredibly hard it can be!

@@msdeviantdizzy thank you kindly!

Thank you for sharing that, Jake. It sounds like you are in a better place right now and I sincerely hope that is the case. Congratulations on a significant weight loss. I’m guessing it wasn’t easy.

@@violetstarrlight Thank you graciously for your kind words. It was anything but easy, but I much prefer the size I'm at now compared to before. It's hard to fathom just how limiting and debilitating being that obsese brings with it. You can not even put your own socks on when that big, and it ruined my mental health for a long time. Thankfully I have a good support system I'm incredibly grateful for. My main point to posting was to say that the pain is very real at the size, and every little movement hurts.

I have multiple sclerosis and so what I'm having exacerbation I have to take steroids and you could easily gain 20 lbs in a week

Good motivator lol

Some people break legs or get in car accidents, and are immobile. For some people they don’t choose to just gain that much weight

​@@MaKillahyou can't gain this much unless you overeat a lot. Don't be that idiot that makes excuses for other idiots. Don't be that person

@@MaKillah you get to 900 pounds by breaking your legs?

It doesn't matter how immobile you are, you don't get to 600lb or more unless you have an unhealthy relationship with food, period. I've met a lot of crippled people that are stick thin. It's just calories in vs out. If you're less active, eat less. Even if it means you feel a little rumbly in your tumbly now and again. It won't kill you to feel hungry.

Good for you! Now that's putting in the work.

Way to go dude I’ve struggled with BED it’s a beast of a demon, not fun. Congratulations

Congratulations for overcoming your eating disorder. That's an incredible achievement 💜

I know we don't know each other, but I'm SOOO proud of you and you should be proud of yourself too! 🥰

How did you deal with finding the right person to ask for help? Like did you tell your main doctor "I'm experiencing this. This isn't normal and I need help." Or did you have to try to book the appointment without a referral?

Update: I’m almost under 300, few days ago got to 301 🥳🥳

Contacts 🎉🎉🎉 I don’t know you but I’m proud of you!!

​@@dandelion6716 Congratulations! So proud!!! Keep up the hard work!!

That sounds very similar to me.

I wonder if it would make a difference for some of these patients if they’re made aware that their decisions to gorge on food is not only hurting themselves, their friends, and their family, but also the healthcare workers who are forced to assist them? Imagine knowing you’re responsible for someone needing spinal surgery, all because of your overwhelming mass

I have been retired for a little while now. But at the hospital I worked at we didn't keep the bariatric beds in house. We had to call one of the companies to deliver the bed. Plus we needed the bed scale to get a weight. Most of the patients wouldn't help with their personal care either. You're so right about the resources.

I’m gonna guess no… As I’ve gotten to the point, I will tell them “I cannot perform that maneuver or I will hurt myself” and I am met with complete shock and anger most of the time. Unfortunately, I’m not willing to get hurt to prove my point LOL otherwise, they just don’t seem to get it

I had a patient the other day demand to be wheeled to the bathroom. In a huge gurney. Bc she didn’t wanna walk. Turns out, after telling her no…she grew legs and found a way to walk herself. When I say I CANT, I seriously mean it😂

You could be a little bit nicer. You are in healthcare, with that you need a bit of tact. I understand where you are coming from, but you’re kinda coming off as insensitive in these comments.

I was looking for this comment! I'm surprised he said 800...he's always said 1,200 at the very least.

It’s like locking a crackhead in a room with nothing but crack in it

@@Kitty666EmoGothhe prob told him 800 bc his health is so bad and he needs to lose weight quickly

@@megalou6567I mean sure but it’s not sustainable or realistic. The dude was never gonna be able to cut down that much with consistency even if he had iron willpower. Even when I was 110 lbs and disordered 800 a day was insanely difficult to maintain for more than 2 days. It triggers binge urges if anything.

@@astralsheepu7379 well staying the size he is isn’t sustainable either . This was a matter of life or death at that moment

@@dinkelberg2769 Self-pity

I'm baffled as to why they wouldn't send him to rehabilitation. If anyone needed it, it was him.

​@@christinamarie6703They couldn't keep him there forever. He needed to just not be around her

That is really sad, 😢 at least they are together.

So she really did kill him in the end. Terrible.

​@@Chris-b7z2hAre they? The mom didn't really have the best intentions.

Yes, the mom had a big role to play in it because when he asked for those foods, she should’ve said no you are on a 800 Aurier diet. I cannot get you that and if he throws a little hissy fit, then she needs to deal with it. But it is also, I hate to say it on him it is a disorder, but you have to have the willpower and the power to say in your head that you want to change. Obviously he did not want to change and I hate to say it ended his life. I have a friend who is 400 and something pounds. I always tell her she is beautiful the way she is, but I worry about her health. I worry about the health aspect of her being that weight not the looks and she is losing weight because she has to or else she’s gonna get worse And her health is going to get worse She’s lost like I think 60 pounds now because she had to have the willpower she had to be the one to change like I said, of course the Mom is to blame she was severely enabling him but I’m sorry we all can’t just put the blame on the mother

bro be careful with apples so many people died choking with them

@@Ale_v2-31 And figs

FR I haven’t laughed that hard in a minute 😂😂

Horrifying

As a wise man once said, we've all gambled on a fart and lost.

They both died... she fed him to death

It’s a sad story. When his mom passed he got even worse

I’m thinking that he can’t get food unless she feeds him. So she could have stopped giving him so much. And if he called the police or something because she wasn’t feeding him, she can bring up the doctor’s orders

what episode is this?

Yeah, in a case like this, there's always an enabler or something wrong in their mental state or their environment. Anyone with sane mind would someday stopped and think to change before falling deeper or getting worse and would have the necessary drive to push through in order to get better. Something like this won't happen overnight.

It's honestly sad, it always seems like enablers like that don't have any boundaries in handing the people they're supposed to be KEEPING ALIVE. I'm very sorry for your family, it's a real shame...but just like any addiction, until they themselves want to change AND theyre able to get away from their enablers environment, theyll never get better.

Don’t blame you one bit for not wanting to get involved in that nonsense.

Condensed milk??? What😂😂😂I've never heard of that

@@taylorbechstein1681 You probably know it by another name. It's milk with less water, more fat, a TON of sugar. Almost a can of caramel.

@@taylorbechstein1681 it's a common baking ingredient, it has less water content. You can also get sweetened condensed milk.

It would be nice if therapy was part of the treatment, since obesity is the symptom of a bigger problem. Doctors tend to look at obesity as the problem that will solve everything else if it's gone. The mental health issues will still be there, though.

I’m struggling with it right now I have been my whole life since I’ve been abused I’m praying for change 😢

That’s not ironic, it’s common sense

Poor mental health and whatever bad coping mechanisms each person develops to deal with those issues are always going to be interlocked.

My sibling is still denying that their weight is connected to all their health issues even though they can’t walk across a room without getting out of breath. It’s hard to see them continue on a path of self destruction and meanwhile hide behind the body positivity movement as an excuse to not change.

RU-vid got some humor

He would probably feel much better if he was at 600 vs 919.

Maybe in 2012 when the show started that was impressive. It was supposed to be shock entertainment and a wake up call. Not a challenge for people to go "Six Hundred? Hold my celery."

Just gotta flip over the 6

Majority of the patients weigh way more than 600 pounds or sometimes just below.

comes with 50% more!

Is Adult Protective Services a real thing?

Both are just as guilty as each other. The mother is guilty of enabling him, but as far as I can tell, he isn't mentally disabled. He failed to realise why he was obese, and never made an attempt to lose the weight until it was too late.

​@TheNinthGenerarion yes. It's in place for vulnerable adults who may be at risk of abuse from family members or care givers. TheUK has similar. Ours is called adult social services.

The scale even malfunctioned, it didn’t display the “n;” *NO CAP*

The problem was his mom feeding him. He was immobile due to his weight, so his mom was enabling him.

Due to the weight capacity of the human knee, and the fact that humans aren’t supposed to be over around 200 pounds, I guarantee you that anyone at around 600+ would have a severely high chance of their leg joins just snapping, which already would be hard to repair, but that weight, it’s a death sentence. So yeah, it’ll work, considering that to get up and get the food would guarantee their fate.

@@moder4228 How did you decide I meant 'unaided?' He has a wheel chair, and at this weight he might have a problem using a walker, but even the effort of getting into the friggin wheel chair and wheeling himself would be SOMETHING.

@@stevenpinkston6260 That’s true, but still; at that weight, an unaided single step that would be required to get to the wheelchair could still be the breaking point, and getting out of it could be too, cause I don’t think his 70+ yea role mother in a wheelchair would be able to help him.

I'd argue fasting would have been better than 800 cals daily. Starvation studies during war era showed that this is way worse on the body than no food.

Not so fast. There are a lot of factors to it and just using one anecdotal piece of evidence does NOT prove your point.

Add protein and veggies. Thats the diet he recommends.

Fasting 24/7 is a horrible way to lose weight. You need to change your *mindset and eating habits* or the weight will just pile back on.

Most men need minimum 2000 calories dependent on height and activity level…

2500 is 25% more than an average man's daily minimum. If you are more active or bigger, or both you need more. I am on about 6000 a day as a collegiate wrestler and am still loosing weight.

Muscle weighs more than fat. The heaviest guy had both muscle and fat on his body. This guy was all fat. He's missing several hundred pounds of muscle.

​@@danthemankhantrue that, even if you were rich, in those days it would have been much much harder to reach that much weight because they didn't have as much processed easy to access suger and saturated fat filled food like us nowdays. I also agree with the gland issue comment because usually eyes popping like those are an indicator for a thyroid issue but I have to admit im doing only an educated guess at that point as there should be alot more signs to check 1st

Its not "many" its just a vocal minority that gets a voice bcs they are basically a modern version of a freaks circus. The world doesnt have that many insanely obese people. But they do exist. Enough that a show like this can exist. Its just that "many" isnt the right word for it.

Unfortunately, for a lot of people who are on the opposite end of the spectrum this type of show isn't a confidence boost, more like horror porn. I'm mostly recovered from my ED issues (I still have days where I struggle, and admittedly having health issues that crashed my weight dangerously low and having to have constant weight checks and goals has actually helped keep me at a healthier, if still slightly under ideal weight), and I enjoy M6PL reacts videos. But I have to be mindful of how much I watch, who I watch, and my own mental space. When I recognize that first little ear worm of "oh god, I could be just like those people" I know I need to take a break from it for a while. A lot of low weight EDs have a huge component of fear around gaining any weight, and that fear normally takes the form of "any kind of weight gain will lead me to be fat/obese/morbidly obese". Even when I first started trying to gain weight back around 2 years ago I really struggled with the idea. And a lot of it was my brain thinking that the smaller weight was safer and better. There is a huge control component too, where your brain can't control everything, but controlling your weight is an easy and safe option even when it isn't. Watching M6PL shows what happens when people refuse to get that control back over what they eat in excess, so to someone with a low weight ED it becomes "if I relax even just a little bit, THAT is what MY BRAIN will lead me too, so I must control it all the time" even though in reality it takes a long time and conditioning/deconditioning for someone to gain that amount of weight (by that I mean that even the average person isn't going to ever spiral to 500+ lbs because your body physically says "STOP!" after a point. Your body deconditions to even allow someone to eat 10k+ calories a day without help from super calorie dense foods)

Yeah its super unhealthy... For me I watch this show because I think its interesting. Im overweight but I know I'll never be their weight, so its not to scare me not to eat... I decided to lose weight to fit into clothes better, not because I watched this show and went "omg if I keep eating I'll be 600lbs!! 😱" and the amount of people that say they use this show as motivation to not eat or lose weight is DISTURBING. I can guarantee most of those people have never crossed 300lbs... Getting complacent and just eating calorie dense foods can easily lead someone into the 200's, but to cross 300 your relationship with food has to be disturbed in some way that you should probably explore in a therapists office.. People who get to 600lbs have very serious trauma that they're controlling with food instead of therapy, just like severe drug addicts.

Are there food banks near you? Or churches with food pantries/other kinds of donations?

Apparently he broke his ankle at 16 and was unable to get out of bed on his own ever since. He can’t get up to get food. He was in rehab at one point and lost 400 lbs, but gained it all back when he got back home with his mother. His mother is at least half the reason he was unable to keep that weight off, since this is a combination of mental illness (probably severe binge eating disorder) and an enabler. To be successful, you’d have to be in therapy AND get away from the enabler. He wasn’t able to do both.
