Be careful what you wish for. The whole world is obsessed with being skinny, but one man can’t help but be at zero percent fat for the rest of his life. Meet Tom Staniford, a nice guy living with Myelodysplastic Preleukemic syndrome, also known as MDP syndrome, a condition in which his body is unable to store fat under his skin. MDP is an extremely rare metabolic disorder, which is currently known to affect only a total of eight people in the entire world. People with MDP all share the same “no fat whatsoever” characteristics, which include the appearance of sunken eyes, cheeks, and withered lips. Tom Staniford was born at a totally normal weight, but his condition has caused him to “shrink” in appearance throughout the years. Now at 23 years of age, Tom’s whole body is pretty much just skin and bone. Thats not to say we cant all lose a little weight and live healthier. Lord knows I certainly need to. But just keep in mind that the pursuit of skinniness could lead to a less than optimal outcome if it goes too far. dailymail.co.uk/health/article-2384755/Paracyclist-Tom-Stanifords-girlfriend-speaks-relationship.html
