Arya Permana’s story is one of incredible transformation. Once labeled the “world’s fattest kid” at a staggering weight of 421 lbs ,
this Indonesian teenager has defied expectations through sheer determination and hard work.
Arya’s young life was limited by his weight. Five large meals a day, enough to feed two adults, became his norm. Simple activities like walking left him breathless, and attending school became impossible. Limited clothing options forced him to wear a sarong for extended periods. A decision to change everything sparked a remarkable journey. With the help of his trainer, Ade Rai, Arya embarked on a mission to reclaim his health. Ade introduced him to a balanced diet and a structured exercise routine.
