'China's fattest man' loses 70 kilograms in five months

serenades

"China's fattest man" is doing his best to shed his unenviable title, dropping 70 kilograms in just five months.
26-year-old Huang Jiaxin achieved some undesirable internet fame earlier this year after slipping and falling down on the sidewalk outside of a hospital in Wuhan. However, it wasn't the way that he fell that attracted, but the fact that once he was down, he couldn't get back up again. Around 20 people were forced to toil outside for two hours until Huang was finally loaded onto a stretcher and taken back to the hospital. (shanghaiist.com)

Following that embarrassing incident, Huang decided to redouble his efforts to lose weight, checking himself into a Chengdu hospital that placed him on a weight loss program, which included dieting and regular exercise. Additionally, doctors performed a sleeve gastrectomy on him, a surgery that reduces the size of the stomach, suppressing a patient's appetite.

But Huang is not done yet. While doctors want to keep his weight loss slow and steady, they are confident that he could drop about 100 kilograms in a year if he sticks to it.
Last month, one obese couple announced that they had managed to lose around 200 kilograms combined in just a few years in pursuit of their dream of having sex and starting a family.

"...now he's down to just 195 kilograms - about average for a normal American adult."

I think thaty is utter nonsense. 195 kgs is not "average" for people of the "normal" category.

Maybe, but 195 kgs is not "normal" even there. Maybe the author confused pounds with kilos.
