Jessica Leonard
The title of the fattest child in the world went to Jessica Leonard. In 2007, her story shook the whole world after people learned about the girl from a TV show.
The story of this fat girl is an example of blind parental love. Mom fed Jessica high-calorie foods, the basis of the diet was pizza, French fries, hamburgers, sweet carbonated drinks, fried turkey and chicken - everything that children are not recommended to eat. Immediately after finishing eating, Jessica felt hungry and begged her mother to feed her again, and a mother’s heart could not stand her daughter’s requests. The child’s diet consisted of 10,000 kcal instead of the required 1800 kcal.
This was the reason that, at the age of four, Leonard crossed the 100-kilogram mark and continued to gain weight. With tears in her eyes, the girl recalls how children called her fat, and even adults often said that Jessica was fat. At four years old, the child experienced difficulty moving, as the children’s fragile leg bones began to deform from the weight, and excess fat deposits on the face and neck led to a deterioration in diction.
By the age of seven, Jessica Leonard had stopped walking and had already realized the seriousness of the problem. At this age she weighed 222 kg. After her appearance on television, people flooded the channel with letters asking to help the fat child return to normal life. Doctors prescribed her a strict diet, which helped her lose 140 kg. Then Jessica continued to eat rationally and get in shape at home. To return to normal life, she had to undergo a number of operations on the joints of her legs and to remove excess skin.
Now a pretty young girl is very responsible about her nutrition and physical health, she has found friends and is dating a young man who supports her in her quest to control her parameters.

The fattest child in the world.
Jessica Leonard was born in Chicago. The world learned about her in 2007, when the girl shocked everyone with her appearance on popular American television channels. At that time, the 7-year-old child weighed 222 kilograms. And there were very specific reasons for this. Food was her greatest passion. Mom says that her daughter constantly asked for food as soon as she got up after another meal. Moreover, her diet included only unhealthy dishes, mainly fast food. The girl happily devoured giant portions of French fries, fried chicken, chicken, pizza, cheeseburgers, hamburgers, and washed it all down with soda. There were 10 thousand kilocalories in the “baby’s” belly per day, while the child’s norm was only 1800. Caroline Shu Guzh’s mother reported that she simply could not refuse a hungry child. Jessica threw hysterics and tearfully asked for more food.

As a result of such concessions, at 3 years old the girl weighed 77 kilograms, and at 4 - already 100. The American could not move independently or even stand. But she could crawl, sit and roll, but with severe shortness of breath. And at the same time, Jessica had her first problems - first with movement, then with speech. Due to the heavy weight, Leonard's body has changed - the bones of his legs are curved, the joints are frozen in an irregular shape. All this is accompanied by constant pain. Facial obesity has led to difficulties in conversation, so the baby rarely speaks.
After a series of reports about the fattest child, the public was horrified. The police were inundated with requests to help the child. People demanded that the abuse of the girl end and that the mother be brought to justice. Jessica was admitted to the clinic and put on a strict diet. She was forbidden to eat fried, fatty and starchy foods, and was forced to do physical exercise. A year and a half later, Jessica weighed 82 kilograms. However, there remains stretched skin that needs to be removed. After a series of operations, doctors plan to return Jessica Leonard to normal life.

Country of fat men
Many people believe that the largest percentage of fat people in the world live in the United States, but this is not true. According to official UN data, the country of fat men is a country that few people have heard of - Nauru. This is a dwarf state with a population of just over 11 thousand people, located on a coral island near the equator.
Obesity became a scourge of the local population not so long ago: after the active import of Coca-Cola into the country and the increased fashion for Western fast food, most Naurtsuans began to abuse high-calorie foods that are affordable. Almost all the fat people of Nauru became overweight due to the unwise consumption of fried chicken and canned meat. The situation is complicated by the lack of a developed medical care structure, so there are not enough qualified doctors on the island who can treat patients with obesity, and only a few can afford to travel to Australia for treatment.

This fattest woman in the world, whose photo clearly shows that she has no complexes about her appearance, consumes almost 22,000 calories a day. Moreover, she is not going to lose weight; on the contrary, she dreams of setting her own weight record and “outdoing” Carol Yeager’s record, reaching a weight of 1000 kg.
It’s quite strange to observe, but the shape of this woman does not scare away, but attracts the male sex. Suzanne even works part-time as a model on sites for fat people. She considers herself absolutely healthy, does exercises every day, monitors her health, measuring her sugar level and blood pressure once a week. If something worries her about her health, then she certainly goes for a consultation with doctors, who correct everything.
