Story Idea

Yet another in what will probably be a long line of story ideas that I hope to someday develop into a script for a video of one flavor or another.
This one opens with a researcher in a lab working on what he hopes will be a new weight loss product, one that will be much more effective and safe than any yet developed, which will work for any of a dozen species in the Omentum nebula. Of course, there is an accident, he is exposed to a combination of the drug he's working on and an unusual form of radiation. The result is that when his hunger reaches a certain point he undergoes a metamorphosis into a strange creature with an immense appetite, far beyond that of normal humanoids.
The one big problem with this metamorphosis comes the most unusual weight problem ever. Regardless of what or how little he eats, he gains weight at an amazing rate. Because of this he cannot use normal contemporary furniture because frankly, there isn't a couch, chair or bed made that can hold him for long because his weight can reach as high as 2,000 pounds in the space of only a few days.
As his weight increases so does his hunger and in the space of two days he ends up eating enough food to feed a dozen normal people for a month. It starts out slowly enough, with normal portions, however once his hunger reaches a certain point he transforms into a veritable eating machine and consumes food faster and faster until, after two to three days he is finally sated and falls asleep. When he awakens, he is once again his old self.
He then starts to shed the pounds almost as fast as he put them on. Over time he finds that if he can take in enough food while he's normal then the change will not happen. The key is to not allow his hunger to get too strong. Once it does all bets are off.
