At 500 kg, Egypt's Eman Ahmed is the world's heaviest woman who landed in Mumbai on Saturday, to undergo a weight reduction surgery that could save her life.
Beginning Monday, Ahmed was served only liquid supplements in the hope that she loses 50 kilos in the next 25 days. In other words, she must lose 2 kilos daily to become fit enough to undergo the surgery, reports Mid Day.
For the first two days of her treatment regime, doctors at Saifee Hospital – where she's being treated – continued her diet of chicken, mutton and bread, so as not to shock her body suddenly.
But her diet will now be liquid supplements that are rich in protein, dairy and fibre, taken six or seven times a day in two hour intervals. The agenda is to meet her protein deficiency, whereas the dairy and fibre components are expected to take care of her calcium requirements and improve digestion.
