Don’t we all wish that we could eat and eat and eat and not gain any weight? Or at least eat whatever we want and not worry about getting extra love handles?

I am proud of myself after losing six annoying kilo’s  and I know what hard work goes into it; lots of exercise and watching what you put into your mouth. So I am a little bit envious of the the following man although I would never want to eat as much as he does.

German man Heinz Asthoff from Offenbach is one of those people that does not have to worry about gaining weight. This man is eating 12000 calories per day and still weighs only 95 kilo’s with a length of 1.83 cm. Heinz, who is 68 years old, has been eating 12000 calories per day for the last 22 years. Ever since his wife died he has been eating all day long.

What’s on the menu?

• 1 kilo cheese
• 2.5 kilo potatoes
• 12 eggs
• 1 pot of mayonnaise
• Pizza’s
• Hot chips
• 20 meat pies

Not the most healthy stuff and on top of that he smokes 2 packets of cigarettes per day. The doctors are clueless to what medical condition Heinz Ashoff has. And amazingly they have recommended the German to keep on smoking, because they worry that if he quits he might even start to eat more. And eating even more could be a financial disaster for the man, because he’s already spending more money on food than he’s getting with his pension.

What do you think? Is being able to eat 12000 calories per day without gaining weight wonderful or a nightmare?
