Jason Holt had a close encounter with death back in June after he had a series of mini-strokes and also suffered from a suspected blood clot. The man is now admitted at a private clinic outside London and now that he is facing diet restrictions, he is definitely not happy. In fact, the 47-stone man has threatened to call police on the nurses if they don't give him his favorite fizzy drinks.

Britain's heaviest man Jason Holt, 32 has spoken up over his frustration with his limited liquid diet and how he can no longer drink his favorite fizzy drinks.
The 32-year-old from Surrey came face to face with death in June after his vital organ began to fail. Before this life-threatening situation, the young man used to down three liters of soft drinks every day, but now carers are putting strict measures on him.
Now the 47-stone Holt can only drink 1.5 liters of liquid in a 24-hour period, with him complaining that he is dehydrated.
Due to this dilemma, the man has threatened to call the police on nurses if they refused to give him his drinks back.
In an interview with The Sun, Jason said: "I am on a drink restriction and I keep trying to explain to them, 'I’ve got my human rights and I should be able to drink what I want to'. But I’m not allowed.

"I’m so down about it. What does this say to society, that you can’t drink now?"
He continued: "I keep saying, ‘Why can’t you give me my drink back instead of making life difficult for me?'
"I told them I’ll call the police because I’m constantly dehydrated."
Jason says that he is only allowed to drink 100ml at a time - something he says is 'ridiculous for someone my size'.

Back in June, Jason suffered a series of mini-strokes and a suspected blood clot as he struggled to breathe.
Paramedics arrived at his home in Surrey and feared at the time he would not make it through the night.
It took them two hours to get him to Frimley Park Hospital in a specially designed ambulance.
Jason recalled the memories of that day with The Sun: "If I didn’t call 999, I’d be dead. I couldn’t breathe.
"It felt like something was blocked inside me and I was suffocating.
"When they finally arrived it took a couple of hours to get me out because I couldn’t even stand."
He continued: "I knew something wasn’t right before because I couldn’t get out of bed. I was very sleepy and I stopped being able to talk.
"I know I’m lucky to be alive but it doesn’t feel that way because of the restrictions I am now under."
The man now has his cared paid for by the NHS for a private nursing home just outside of London.
He became Britain's heaviest man in June as the previous holder, 55 stone Matthew Crawford, died aged just 37.
