World's fattest man writes weight-loss book

Paul Mason (48), weighing 317 kg, spoke about the book in hospital, which he left last night in an ambulance after a life-saving gastric bypass surgery. The reinforced vehicle rocked from side to side as his bulk was moved on to an extra-strength stretcher.

He was then wheeled through five ft-wide doors into his specially-adapted bungalow in Ipswich, Suffolk while being filmed for a Channel 4 documentary.

The ex-postie had to drop 127 kg from his 444 kg peak last year before he could have the operation, which limits the amount of food going into his stomach.

Now his book, The Journey, will tell how he did it. A source said, "He's been telling people in the hospital how he's writing this book and it will reveal how he's managed to lose so much weight.

He's been in good spirits. Paul started writing as he recovered from the Rs 14.5 lakh NHS op at St Richard's Hospital in Chichester, West Sussex, where he stayed for three weeks.
He used to gorge on 20,000 calories a dayu00a0-- EIGHT times what the average man eats. He got so big that firemen once had to knock down a wall so he could be taken to hospital.
