700-pound man on diet 为婚礼减肥
A 700-pound man left his home with the aid of a forklift and a platform
Manuel Uribe is going for his second world record, his first title --the world's heaviest living man. Well now he wants to lose the most weight in the least amount of time.
At his heaviest, Manuel Uribe weighed 1,235 pounds and was in the Guinness Book of World Records. In two years though he's shed some 530 pounds. Uribe says he is losing the weight through the Zone diet, a diet based on eating calories from carbohydrates, protein and certain fat percentages. Uribe still can not move his swollen legs and must ride in a special trailer that can support his weight. He wants to slim down for his wedding to his Claudia Solis. When he tried to attend her birthday party last March, the flatbed tow truck got caught under an underpass. Uribe says his goal is to weigh 285 pounds by 2010, meaning he would have lost a record 950 pounds.

一名重达700磅的男子在铲车和平台的帮助下离家而去。
Manuel Uribe将要申请他的第二项世界记录,他最大的头衔——世界上生存的最重的人。但是现在他希望
在最短的时间内减掉最多的重量。
Manuel Uribe最重的时候有1,235磅,列入吉尼斯世界纪录。2年内减掉了530磅。Uribe说他通过区域节食的方法来减肥,该节食法通过碳水化合物,蛋白质和特定的脂肪成分来获取能量。Uribe不能移动他肿胀的双腿,必须通过能承受他身体重量的特制的拖车才能移动他的身体。为了他和Claudia Solis的婚礼,他决定减肥。去年三月份,当他想参加她的生日派对的时候,他的平板式拖车被卡入地下道内。Uribe说他的目标是到2010年减到285磅,意味着他要打破纪录,减掉950磅。
