Italian Guy said:I believe when it comes to these pathological proportions it is a matter of medical/hormonal/methabolic problems, not just controlling oneself or not.
I agree with you there, I just saw the tv news here (the guy's coming to Italy to be hospitalized and cured) and they said his organism assimilates everything and does not burn anything. Sounds like an extremely slow methabolism to me. Of course you're right on target on the adaptation process, but up to 550 kg... I don't know.ASTRALdragon said:I believe it is a matter of control. Biology does play a part but that is something a person can change. How do humans change their own biology? It's a little system built into each and every one of us call "adaptation." Believe me, if food wasn't so easily attainable for that guy, his body would get used to getting only 3k calories a day. Another example, spec ops miliatary training; if you're given 3 straight meals a day and only 10 minutes to eat, your body will learn to process food faster and at more stable rates. You don't exactly see any fat/obese/big boned Navy SEALS or Army Rangers do you?

I feel sorry for the man too, it must be hard to end up in such a situation - but he should have seeked medical care earlier.
