Potential sources[edit]

There appears to be few sources which are more recent than the current material.

Harding, Nick (7 March 2014). "World's biggest natural loser?". Friday Magazine.
Dale, Rachel (30 April 2015). "I'm eating myself to death". The Sun. Barry Austin, 47, of Solihull, was once on a 29,000 calorie a day mission to become the world's fattest man and succeed in swelling to 65 stone – but later shed 20 stone after health problems.

The last source may be questionable. I could not find the supposed Facebook weight loss page that some news articles mentioned, which if found might perhaps lead to more sources.(I am not watching this page, so please ping me if you want my attention.) —Paleo Neonate – 10:46, 27 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Me neither, but sadly it is definitley the case according to family. We have to wait for a media source to report it. --IWI (talk) 23:12, 1 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
