If you want to get better results from your workouts, it’s important that you stay healthy. Your body is a well-oiled machine. Everything is connected. In order for you to lose fat and gain mass, your whole body needs to be functioning properly. And if you’re sick, this isn’t going to happen. Staying healthy is […]
A study must show that minding your own business is good for your health. I don’t know if there is scientific evidence to back up this theory of mine, but I’m sure at one point there was a study conducted about this. There are studies done about everything. Through an unrelated series of events, it […]
This idea is two years in the making. In October of 2008 I came up with this idea to promote health and fitness. Two years went by and I dropped the ball on it. Now, after just having registered for the 5K Publix Super Markets Gasparilla Distance Classic Race Weekend, February 26, 2011, here in […]

I recently participated in the Plus Up Your Gym Bag Makeover in which I was sent a gift card so that I can upgrade my gym bag. This was going to be a relatively easy upgrade, since I don’t have a gym bag to begin with. I work out at home for the most part, […]

I rarely have any sympathy for celebrities who whine about their difficult lives. NO TIME? How about all the “real life” moms and dads out there who are juggling jobs, parenthood and everyday responsibilities without the help of managers, nannies and drivers? NO PRIVACY? Puh-lease. You know you crave the spotlight. (I’m talking to you […]
For all of you women out there who smoke, I have one bit of advice for you that might just save your life. Quit smoking. The list of health issues caused by smoking is lengthy for both men and women, but women who smoke are even more likely to develop serious medical conditions. According to […]
Is it me or is Chad Ochocinco an absolute genius who is ten years ahead of his time? The recent fine levied against him from the NFL front office and commissioner Roger Goodell stems from Chad Ochocinco updating his Twitter account during a preseason game. Simply put: WOW. The Miami born Chad Javon Johnson who […]
You’re having a strange dream. You can’t identify the sound but it just won’t stop. Finally, the noise wakes you up and you realize your alarm clock is going off. Time to start another day. You start the shower, wash up, get dressed and head out to the kitchen. Time to make coffee, breakfast, pack […]

Stanley’s journey begins today and wraps up on the 20th of the month. She will be making […]
Stephfon Green is fast. Let me re-phrase that, the Penn State Junior running back is Ferrari Fast. Combine that with the dynamic running vision he possesses and he can make a defense pay in the blink of an eye. With rumors swirling around Happy Valley of a sub 4.3 40 yard time for Green, defensive […]
Being a woman isn’t always an easy job. On top of taking care of kids, managing a household and working a full-time job there is great pressure to have a look that society finds acceptable. At times, women may not only feel the pressure from the opposite sex, but from other women as well. It […]
Kathy Kaehler has become somewhat of a legend in the fitness and wellness circles. The 14 year veteran of the Today Show granted me an interview while she was in New York. The first thing that strikes you when you speak to the Michigan native is her “realness” no cream puff filling here folks. She […]
OK. So there is this new study out there that was conducted through Nutrisystem by using their Diet Index. It proves that over 50 percent of women would rather give up sex for the summer than gain 10 pounds. Interesting. The study also includes men, and, shockingly, some guys said they’d do the same. Did […]
Am I the only person that noticed Al Michaels say that Dallas Cowboys head coach Wade Phillips is “looking svelte” because he was on Nutrisystem and lost 40 lbs. This was during NBC’s Sunday night football telecast of the 2010 NFL Hall of Fame football game between the Dallas Cowboys and the Cincinnati Bengals. The […]

Today was day 2 of my time here in California for the Nutrilite Sport Blogger Event. I’m going to keep this update brief, since it’s just too much info to post, plus I have to be downstairs in less than an hour for dinner (dont’ want to hold anyone up). It started with us meeting […]
Wow, the site was down for I don’t even know how long. Too much! Somehow we got hacked and our database was corrupted. But Fat Man Unleashed was able to survive! Thanks to my trusty back-ups and through some hard work/countless hours I managed to get us back on track. Sounds like my weight loss […]
[youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_sWCYnapq9Y[/youtube] Forget about your weight, your fat or how you look for a second today and take some time to remember those that were lost 8 years ago. Where were you on 9/11? I remember I was in bed. I was still a college kid and had class that afternoon so I decided to sleep […]
It is no secret that getting motivated to work out is sometimes as easy as threading a camel through the eye of a needle. We all have things going on: errands to run, dinners to cook; and fitting a workout into the schedule can be nearly impossible. But if you find something that you enjoy […]
Let the Michael Vick sweepstakes begin! After serving his 23 month federal prison term for the killing and abuse of dogs the ultra athletic Vick will no doubt be selling his services to the highest bidder. Please contact all free spending NFL owners, i.e. Daniel Snyder Washington Redskin owner. Michael Vick has served his time […]
You may have just read the title to this blog and are left wondering “What does this have to do with weight loss?” Well my answer to that question is, “It has everything to do with it!” Did you know that 2/3 of America is considered obese? Which is not surprising being that we no longer have to fight, hunt, and kill to get our food. No not at all, we live in a time of fast food and microwaves. It’s sad to say but we as humans try to find the easiest and fastest but yet not so beneficial way to do everything.
I thought about the comics and the physiques the super heroes were depicted has having. None of the superheroes were fat! This perplexed me. If Superman was so omnipotent why couldn’t he get away with a lil’ bulge? Belly fat would not have diminished his status. Superman’s powers were so extraordinary even in the realm of super heroes that he could get away with being out of shape.
Allow me to introduce myself. My name is Frank Cruz a former fat man who’s almost completely unleashed. Those cold chains of confinement are weakening little by little. I have been tied down and boxed in for many years. Consumed with exaggerated amounts of food, my stomach was a lot like a bottomless pit. I […]
It’s no secret to anyone with a pair of eyes that America is in the middle of an obesity epidemic. Our “bigger is better” culture has created a nation of people who are overweight, and out of shape. At some point in the very near future, inactivity and poor diet will pass smoking as the […]
One of the things that can really put a damper on your summer is over exposure to the sun’s rays. At the beginning of the season many try to get their skin into a tanned look as soon as they possibly can. The people that worship the sun are many in the beginning. They peel […]
I found a new diet that I think I’m going to try. Check it out. It’s supposed to work wonders!!! It involves not eating food, but non-nutritional items. Similar to my eating paper to lose weight escapade. You may develop a serious case of pica. Diet Book Author Advocates New ‘No Food Diet’
Just recently at an outdoor cafe, as I got an eye full of a most delightful treat that wasn’t on the menu walk by, my friend Tommy called me a chubby chaser. To which I responded “What me? No way!” But he insisted with vigor and laughter: “You are a BBW lover dude”. BBW stands […]
It appears that studies are saying fat people cause global warming or at the very least contribute towards it. Last year I wrote a comedic piece about that very topic. In it I mention a lot of the things that would appear to to contribute towards “Global Warming.” It is important to note that I […]
I have a little surprise coming that has been in the works for a very long time. I’m hoping to post about it later this week, but I was so giddy about it that I figured I’d tease it for now. For now, just keep on plugging away at your fitness and weight loss goals. […]
