Vilas Vasquez Liz Austin, Texas. A 21-year-old girl, Liz Vilas Vasquez, has a rare abnormality which causes her to remain very thin despite eating a lot every day. Her body fat content is almost 0%, and her body appears withered like a horrifying skeleton. The incredible fact is that Liz does not suffer from anorexia; on the contrary, she consumes large quantities of food daily—eating once every 15 minutes, indulging in binge eating up to 60 meals totaling 5000-8000 calories from various foods. However, standing at a height of 1.57 meters, her body weight has never exceeded 27.3 kg, equivalent to the weight of an 8-year-old girl! According to Liz's mother, Rita, Liz's weight has been abnormal since birth in 1989. Born four weeks prematurely, Liz weighed only 1.19 kg, and doctors were surprised to find that Liz had minimal protection from amniotic fluid in utero, yet they do not understand how Liz survived. Mother Rita mentioned there are three patients with the same abnormality, and this strange disease puzzles medical experts worldwide.
