Wary Kim has now ordered his close confidants to find new medicines abroad to help him trim back, such as Ozempic or a similar drug.
Insiders say fridge-raider Kim - who is known to have a legendary appetite - will likely bulk-buy a weight-loss drug before testing it on citizens with a similar figure.
One senior North Korea observer said: "If the past is any guide, it is probable that they'd make a bulk purchase.
"Because it's a new drug and a new drug to Kim, they might select North Korean citizens with a similar body type and medical
history
as Kim so they try the drug first for any side effects.

"Kim's father, Kim Jong Il, once had some of his aides injected with opiates.
"That way, if he became dependent or addicted, they'd all have to detox together."
Plump Kim, who stands at just 5ft 6ins, tipped the scales at a whopping 22 stone at his largest before shedding the pounds.
Eye-opening images revealed a drastic weight loss in 2021 - but the Supreme Leader has again ballooned to up to over 20 stone.

Kim's health has long raised eyebrows - and his love for cigarettes, drinking and imported cheese is a far cry from a healthy diet.

He is suspected to suffer from high blood pressure and diabetes, as well as gout - joint pain linked to a rich diet.
Both Kim's father and grandfather died from heart issues, making the dictator likely fearful of the same fate.
Michael Madden, founder of NK Leadership Watch, told The Sun: "When we see him in state media reporting, he is often sitting down.

"He doesn't walk any great distances, and he uses the car more often to travel short distances at public engagements.
"This also raises the question - what has caused the weight gain?
"Is it a combination of compulsive stress eating, a sedentary lifestyle and lack of physical activity? Is it a side effect of medication?
"If Kim is on medications, do they treat a chronic medical condition that might result in weight gain or metabolism issues?

"Then again, do Kim's doctors tell him the truth about his health or conceal a more serious problem?"
South Korean spies this month claimed Kim is on the hunt for new weight-loss medicines such as Ozempic from Western countries.
And his inner circle will be doing everything they can to get their hands on what their Dear Leader demands.

Mr Madden added: "When it comes to the leader's medical treatments, the regime spares no effort or expense to import the best available medicine, medical devices etc, from foreign countries, usually from Central
Europe

"If things get pretty dire, the North Koreans will retain foreign physicians and other specialists.

"The way this happens is through the Personal Secretariat, which is Kim's executive office as leader and runs his households and domestic life.
"The Personal Secretariat has what they call a 'network of correspondents'.
"These are elite North Koreans working either in small work teams or as individuals at North Korean embassies or other foreign missions.
"They perform a number of discreet tasks on behalf of Kim and some core elites - collecting or interpreting information, making purchases, conducting off the record interactions."

"The biggest things here are his inaccessibility at public events and the evolving public presence of Ju-ae.

Kim's legendary appetite
INTELLIGENCE services and insiders have previously claimed Kim Jong-un is a prolific binge eater, drinker and smoker.
The Kim family's ex-sushi chef Kenji Fujimoto has claimed the dictator once boasted he had consumed '10 bottles of Bordeaux" during a meal.
Kim is also reportedly absolutely crackers about Emmental cheese after developing a taste for it while studying in Switzerland as a teen.
Cheese and wine are not the only treats Kim enjoys however, with only the best being good enough for the North Korean leader as his people starve and live in poverty.
Kim's staff reportedly brought along a host of high calorie and luxurious foods for their leader during his summit with US President Donald Trump in Vietnam in March 2019.
A team of personal chefs was also brought along to help tend to Kim - with the cook at Hanoi's luxury Metropole saying they tasted dishes for an hour to make sure they were perfect for their leader.
Cavier and lobster are both also reportedly part of Kim's palate, even though both are banned from being imported into North Korea by the United Nations.
Kim is also a fan of the delicacy shark fin soup, according to Mr Fujimoto.
Booze-loving Kim also reportedly likes to drink at least two bottles of Cristal Champagne per sitting, the chef said.
Bottles of the ritzy plonk can cost up to £7,500 - meaning Kim could drink away £15,000 during every meal.
Hundreds of thousands of bottle of cognac and vodka are also reportedly regularly imported to the Pyongyang, believed to be bound for Kim and the North Korea elite.
Kim is also reported to have pushed from a
Kim allegedly hated being called fat - being dubbed Kim Fatty III in Chinese media.
North Korea officials reportedly made a state request to China to get them to drop the nickname.
Other insulting names used by Kim's nearest ally include Kim Fat Fatty and Kim Abundant III.
Donald Trump even called Kim "short and fat" on Twitter as the two traded barbs before their string of high profile summits in 2018.
North Korea experts have previously claimed Kim's weight is actually a well-cultivated ploy to make him look like his revered grandfather Kim Il-sung.
His grandad is also claimed to have been a gourmand, having cows fed beer and had them massaged to make the meat more tender.
Kim's dad Kim Jong-il also died of a heart attack in 2011.
And while people may crack jokes about Kim's weight battle, around 40% of North Korea's population is undernourished.

But according to global skin doctor and cosmetic formulator 'Unfortunately, hair training doesn't work,' she told The Sun.

'Bacteria breaking down sweat and oil will also cause an unpleasant odour.' Ireland AM star Muireann O'Connell shows off fabulous new hair do Influencers have been sharing hair-training tips using dry shampoo and texturising sprays to mask the grease, but Dr Rattan says these products can do more harm than good. 'Many dry shampoos and styling sprays are full of sulphates, fragrance and denatured alcohol, which can inflame the scalp and trigger contact dermatitis,' she explained.

The doctor, who also runs her own haircare line, says the key to a healthy scalp is regular cleansing and using the right method in the shower.

Try dry shampoo 'It doesn't just make your hair look cleaner but thicker too,' says Simone. 'It leaves behind an invisible residue that makes your hair smoother, thicker and easier to style.' 2. Switch your parting 'Flipping it over to the opposite side of where it usually sits will give an instant volume boost,' she says. 3. Go for Balayage 'It adds dimension, resulting in fuller looking hair,' explains Simone. 'Leave the roots dark and the ends lighter and your hair will look thicker at the top.' Remember to nourish the hair with a weekly hair mask to fight off colour damage.

I woke up next to girlfriend's lifeless body after deadly holiday mistake – then I was arrested on suspicion of murder
WAKING up at 4am, Roland Wessling knew immediately that something was wrong. He and his long-term partner, Hazel Woodhams, 30, were camping on the Norfolk Broads, near Great Yarmouth, when tragedy struck. Advertisement 5 He awoke the next morning to find himself in incredible pain and Hazel unresponsive Credit: supplied 5 Hazel had died as a result of carbon monoxide poisoning from their BBQ Credit: supplied Roland had awoken with a pounding headache, his brain was foggy, and pain ripped through his body. He was lying halfway out of the sleeping section of his tent with no memory of getting there, and as his eyes adjusted to the morning light, his fear grew. He says: 'I could barely move, but I instinctively turned to where Hazel was sleeping. Advertisement 'I dragged myself over to her, and my whole world fell apart. 'I knew immediately that my beautiful, amazing partner was dead.' It was the 5th of July 2011, and now, after marking the 14th anniversary of her death, Roland now wants to warn others of the silent killer that took Hazel's life. Forensic archaeology lecturer Roland, now 54, lives in 'The lethal fumes had come from a small BBQ that had been cold to the touch before we went to bed. Advertisement 'My job now is to save other people's lives who, like Hazel and I, enjoyed camping and BBQs.' The couple met in 2005, when Hazel, then 25, was working for West Yorks Police Force as a Expert's warning over common barbecue myths that pose 'dangerous health risk' as Brits' grilling blunders revealed The pair started dating in 2005 and soon moved in together. He says: 'We both loved kayaking and would spend weekends combining camping, the sport and visiting historic sites everywhere from The pair had been kayaking on the Broadlands canals and relaxing after a hectic week in July 2011. Advertisement Rolland recalls: 'We bought some sausages from a village butcher and some local cider and headed to the campsite for dinner. The couple had a four-person tent with two zip-up pods inside. The night before, a small bird had gotten in, so that evening the pair made sure any tiny holes were covered before starting the BBQ outside. Roland says: 'We had a little bucket-style coal BBQ. I lit the coals, and by 6pm the grill was hot enough. 'Hazel poured the cider while I cooked the sausages and jacket potatoes in the embers.' 'It was a lovely evening. We were both knackered from kayaking but having a lovely time enjoying a camp-cooked meal and the warm breeze.' Advertisement 5 To add to his horror, initially Roland was arrested over her death. He was later de-arrested Credit: supplied 5 By 9pm, the couple decided to call it a night, especially because the weather had turned and possible overnight rain was forecast. Roland says: 'I was going to leave the BBQ outside, but with rain possible we didn't want a mucky mess of ash and gunk in the morning. 'The bucket and the ashes were cold to the touch. Advertisement 'We simply popped it inside the tent, zipped the main door up and went to our sleeping pod.' Roland zipped up the entrance, and the couple chatted about their plans for more sightseeing in the morning before falling asleep. 'The next thing I knew, I woke up halfway out the now unzipped pod door in agony, and Hazel, who'd celebrated her 30th birthday a few weeks earlier, was dead,' he says. After discovering Hazel's lifeless body, Roland dragged himself to the tent's entrance and screamed for help. He says: 'There were barely any campers on the site. It felt like hours before someone came." Advertisement An off-duty police officer was camping nearby and, alerted by Roland's screams, took control. He added: 'He called the police and within an hour I was in the back of an ambulance on oxygen being assessed and Hazel's body was being taken to the same hospital as me. 'To the police, it must have seemed like I was on drugs, as I was totally incoherent. 'There was no obvious reason a healthy woman would be dead, and they made the assumption drugs had been involved." Roland was arrested on suspicion of murder, although he was de-arrested just hours later when details of how she died emerged. Advertisement 'Just hearing a police officer make the allegations broke me," he said. 'Nothing made sense. I had no explanation and was in dire need of hospital treatment.' At James Paget University Hospital in Great Yarmouth, Roland was rushed to the ER. Blood was taken from him and Hazel's body, and it showed both had suffered carbon monoxide poisoning. I'd lost my beloved partner. There were times I wanted to die Roland Wessling The pain Roland had felt when he woke up was compartment syndrome, caused when surgeons suspected he had fallen on his side trying to get up in the early stages of carbon monoxide poisoning. Advertisement He says: 'I needed emergency surgery because the pressure of lying on my right arm meant pressure built up in a closed muscle compartment of the limb, cutting off blood flow and damaging nerves and muscle. 'The carbon monoxide poisoning meant the lack of oxygen was causing even faster muscle tissue death than normal. 'My damaged muscle was also swelling and leaking proteins into my blood, and had already begun harming my kidneys. Without intervention, every organ in his body would have broken down.' Roland underwent a fasciotomy, which means long, deep incisions are made in the skin and underlying fascia, the tough connective tissue around muscle compartments, are exposed. This stops the dangerous pressure building up inside the muscle compartment and restores blood, and helps stop the nerve and muscle damage. Advertisement Roland spent a total of four weeks in intensive care and hospital and was told his arm would have to be amputated if the procedure and antibiotics to prevent infection didn't work. But he says that his only thoughts were with Hazel. He says: 'I was in physical agony in ICU, but the grief and mental agony of Hazel's death and not understanding what happened was worse. 'I'd lost my beloved partner. There were times I wanted to die.' After cops were told of the carbon monoxide blood results, he was de-arrested and no further police action was taken against him. Advertisement 'Even today, the thought I was even considered a suspect in such a brutal crime is triggering,' Roland admits. At the inquest into Hazel's tragic passing, a verdict of accidental death by carbon monoxide was returned. He says: 'Carbon monoxide poisoning is something you associate with a leaking boiler, tightly enclosed spaces, and leaking gas. 'It's something you think would not happen in a tent in the middle of a nature reserve.' However, he soon discovered the source of the deadly gas, which had no smell or taste, was the cold BBQ the pair had brought into the tent. Advertisement Roland adds: What we didn't know was that underneath the top layer of cold ashes, the ash is still hot and can be up to 300 degrees. 'That means the ashes are still releasing the deadly gas. 'Because we had been so cautious to keep the birds out, it meant that gas was getting trapped in the tent and building up to lethal levels. 'Hazel was poisoned in her sleep, and I likely survived because I was slightly taller and heavier. 'As part of my intensive care hospital treatment, I also underwent oxygen replacement therapy to reverse the effects of the carbon monoxide as well as the surgery.' Advertisement The ashes in a BBQ - even once it has been extinguished - can release extremely high levels of the gas, as in Roland and Hazel's cases. In a tent, carbon monoxide quickly replaces almost all of the oxygen. Victims are suffocated, and organs are starved of the oxygen they need. WHAT ARE THE SYMPTOMS OF CARBON MONOXIDE POISONING? The symptoms of carbon monoxide are Within two hours of a leak, an adult could lose balance, vision and memory – and eventually pass out. If you recognise any of these symptoms, it's important to go to your local Accident and Emergency department (A&E) immediately. Severe symptoms include: Intoxication: And impaired mental state Vertigo: The feeling that the environment is spinning Ataxia: Loss of physical coordination, caused by damage to the brain and nervous system Breathlessness: And a rate of more than 100bpm Chest pain: Caused by a heart attack Seizures Loss of consciousness: From this stage, death can strike within minutes. He says: 'Doctors explained the brain is particularly vulnerable and can be suffocated in as little as four minutes. 'If you survive like me, the effects worsen over the coming days and weeks, even with treatment. 'My symptoms included. difficulty with concentration, hearing and vision, and mood effects including anxiety and depression.' Advertisement Roland admits that while he is lucky to survive, his grieving process for Hazel's death was almost impossible to get through. However, he was able to find an outlet for his grief. 'As a scientist, I knew Hazel would want me to find out how to help other people and what happened,' he says. Roland was invited to share his story at a stakeholders' forum as part of the 'All Party Committee on Carbon Monoxide Safety' at the Houses of Parliament in London. He says: 'I applied for funding for a PHD student to research the dangers of charcoal-related issues like those which caused Hazel's passing. Advertisement As a scientist I knew Hazel would want me to find out how to help other people and what happened Roland Wessling The funding was granted by the CO Research Trust charity, which aims to improve gas safety, and Roland is now a trustee. Roland has also set up the Carbon Monoxide Science and Technology Sub-Group, which brings together experts to share research and produce ways to help people all over Britain stay safe. According to government statistics in 2023, there were thirty accidental deaths due to CO poisoning. Between 2015 and 2020, between 25 to 40 people passed away annually from accidentally breathing the deadly fumes. 'I never thought a cold BBQ could kill, but it did and I want others to realise this too,' he says. Advertisement Now Roland is begging all campers to buy a small portable carbon monoxide alarm for use in caravans, vans, and tents. He warns: 'They cost as little as a tenner and could save your life. 'I know if we'd have had one, Hazel would not have died, and that haunts me daily.' Roland explains that people in vans or canal boats often have wood burners, and in winter, if they close the doors and there isn't sufficient ventilation, that is the same risk of death or injury. 'The rise of van lifers and people using wood stoves and heaters makes me even more determined to share my story,' he says. Advertisement 'When you're camping, you relax, you don't think about carbon monoxide alarms. 'I'm begging you to make it part of your camping kit. 'The alternative is terrifying.' Roland continues to work with government safety committees. He has since remarried, and lives in Brighton with his wife, a 49-year-old artist. 'She helped me recover and grieve Hazel's loss and totally supports my campaign,' he says. Advertisement 'Please stay safe this coming summer season. 'Your life is worth spending a tenner on an alarm and protecting the people you love.' 5 Roland hopes he can prevent any other people from suffering as he did Credit: supplied
