James Gregory's 1960 biography "The Elvis Presley Story" revealed that the King was a heavy eater.

"Note for his future wife: Elvis loves enormous breakfasts complete with sausage, bacon, eggs, fried potatoes, home-baked rolls, and coffee," Gregory wrote. "He has a tremendous appetite at breakfast. His wife should never develop elegant or expensive tastes."

He once tried to go back to his old shape by following a strict diet it which he only consumed jelly and even risked his life by asking a doctor to put him into a medically induced coma for weight loss.
