The Man Who Can't Get Fat:Mr.. Perry 59, can eat whatever he likes - including unlimited pies, burgers
and desserts - and never get fat. He cannot put on weight because of
a condition called lipodystrophy that makes his body rapidly burn fat.
He used to be a chubby child, but at age 12 the fat dropped off "almost
over night". He initially tried to eat more to gain weight, but it had no effect.
Mr Perry, of Ilford in Essex, endured a decade of tests before the illness
was diagnosed. It finally emerged that his body produces six times
the normal level of insulin. Doctors have admitted that
the condition would be a "slimmer's dream".
