David John Castañeda, an American from Texas, reached 210 kg at 19 years old, suffering from binge eating that led him to eat until feeling pain. His daily menu included eight-egg omelettes, entire packages of pasta, countless slices of bread, and large portions of tortillas, rice and meat. After realizing he wasn't eating out of hunger, but out of habit, and that he had lost the ability to recognize satiety, David decided to change his lifestyle without resorting to surgery or medications.
