42-year-old British man Keith Martin has been declared the world’s fatted man, tipping the scales at a whopping 812 lbs.

Martin has been bed-ridden for years and hasn’t had a girlfriend in two decades. Martin’s needs are reportedly costing the taxpayers thousands of dollars as he requires an army of 18 medical professionals to look after him, including ambulance staff and nurses.
Eight ambulance workers must be on hand to help lift his giant frame to a reinforced vehicle for frequent hospital visits close to his home in Harlesden, North-West London.
He also requires two visits a day and four nurses three times a week to wash him and monitor his health as his staggering weight is putting massive strain on his heart and other internal organs.
Martin’s dining includes:
Breakfast: Keith Martin typically starts the day with eight hot dogs and four slices of bread, or a pile of ham sandwiches followed by coffee with sugar.
Lunch: A selection of chocolate bars, cakes, a packet of biscuits plus more coffees with sugar.
Dinner: Two whole roast dinners with all the trimmings, or 16 sausages plus a family-sized bag of oven chips washed down with coffee.
According to Martin his weight gain was due to the sudden death of his mother, as he explains:
“My mother died when I was 16 and I didn’t care about anything after that and I couldn’t care less about what happened to me, I ate anything and everything, I blame myself. It was my fault and I hate what I have done to myself.”
Martin requires round-the-clock support from home health professionals and his two sisters who take turns on house visits. He spends his days watching television and gorging on sweets, cakes, biscuits and sausages.
Martin is scheduled to appear on the British TV program “Big Body Squad,” which aims to raise awareness of the plight of more than a million overweight people living in dire conditions.
