World's Fattest Man: Keith Martin Weighs 812 Pounds, Eats 8 Hot Dogs for Breakfast (VIDEO)

Talk about tipping the scales. A British man who eats eight hotdogs for breakfast has won the distinct honor of becoming the world’s fattest man.

Keith Martin, 42, tips the scales at 812 pounds and is so large that he’s now totally bed-ridden.

Martin needs a small army of 18 medical professionals to take care of him, including ambulance staff and nurses.

Eight ambulance workers must constantly be available to help hoist his giant body to a reinforced vehicle for frequent hospital visits close to his home in Harlesden, North-West London.

Trips for medical check-ups are the only reasons he left his house in the last 10 years.

He spends most of his days watching TV and eating, adding even more pounds to his 5-foot, 9-inch frame.

Martin makes no excuses about his weight gain, which he says started when he was a teenager right after his mother died.

“My mother died when I was 16 and I didn’t care about anything after that and I couldn’t care less about what happened to me – I ate anything and everything,” he says. “I blame myself. It was my fault and I hate what I have done to myself.”
