Show me a person who's fat to be a nonconformist.
I have a friend who doesn't give a damn about the whole look right, eat right.

He loves to eat, and he doesn't care how many calories it is. He'd rather eat it the right way than the low fat, low calorie way, "No, you can't make popovers that are low fat/low cal that taste any good." He doesn't do anything that's trendy, mass approved, he likes small niche things.

He is a nonconformist. He hates Macs, laughs at the 1984 commercial because he believes that all the people in the audience are all Mac users an the face on the screen is Steve Jobs. He doesn't use iPods, prefers Zen.

Uses as many products as he can that aren't used by everyone else. He is a nonconformist through and through. I don't know what his tipping point is, but once it's "mainstream" to him, he moves on.
