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 has become clear that minding your own business is a healthy habit. I have great personal evidence to back this up. Here goes.

Minding your own business reduces stress in your life. If you spend time meddling in other peoples’ affairs you are bound to hear bits of information that will add stress to your body. You may find out that a colleague of yours, whom you happen to adore, is getting fired. You might be gossiping about someone and they overhear what you have to say. You could think you know what’s going on in a situation but actually have no clue about what is really happening. All of these situations lead to added stress.

Stress is a killer. It raises blood pressure and causes an array of health issues from heart attacks to strokes. This is scientifically proven. Google it.

Another reason why minding your own business is good for your health is that it keeps you focused on your job. If you are so busy wondering what everyone is doing and trying to gossip and meddle in others’ affairs, you are bound to be slacking at work. This could lead to you getting fired which could lead to eating off the dollar menu at McDonald’s for breakfast, lunch and dinner. Not a healthy lifestyle. Did you ever see Super Size Me?

If you are a gossiper, like to antagonize people, or find yourself always in the middle of confrontations, then you probably don’t have very many friends. Generally, people don’t like people who are mean and nasty. And the friends you do have are probably not your true friends. Having meaningful and lasting friendships is very important to your health. Friends usually spend a lot of their time laughing, which lowers stress and actually has been proven to help you live longer.

Probably the most obvious reason for why minding your own business is good for your health is that it will keep you from getting punched in the face. I’m not one to pry into the lives of my fellow people, so I can’t speak from personal experience. But I have witnessed first hand many brutal fights in which someone got punched in the nose, eye, groin and even kidney for running their mouth and talking smack. Now, some people don’t hit very hard. It’s just not part of their DNA. But, I know there are plenty of people out there who can pack a Mike-Tyson-sized-wallop on whatever area of the body they choose.

Getting punched is no fun. So mind your own business, do your job, don’t eat McDonalds three times a day and be sure to drink lots of water. You’ll be way ahead of the rest of the world!

Why Minding Your Own Business is Healthy

At times, my inner green-eyed monster makes an appearance while leafing through magazines or watching the red carpet pre-awards show specials. What can I say; I’m a girl and comparing myself to others is in my DNA. So yes, I do get a tad envious watching some of these real-life muses of perfection glide towards the Kodak Theatre without a bump, lump, sag or zit in sight. Perhaps money can’t buy you love, but it can certainly snag you a top-notch fitness trainer and personal chef. (0r, a lifelong membership to one of those meal home delivery services for a $800 a month.)

This week, Kelly Osbourne and Drew Carey adorn the covers of US Weekly and Parade respectively, as Ozzy’s daughter and ‘The Price is Right’ host reveal their recent weight loss milestones. Osbourne has gone from a size 14 to a size 2, and Carey has 77 pounds with a goal to lose 15 more.

The former ‘Dancing With The Stars’ contestant tells US, “Everyone always asks ‘What is the secret’? but there is no secret. It is the old-fashioned way of making a commitment to yourself and waking up every day and doing it.”

Interesting. No surgical procedure? No super-cleanse? No detox diet? No extreme… anything?! I kept reading and realized that despite the difference in our bank accounts, I could actually apply the stars’ tried and true lifestyle tips by just making a few changes in my diet and exercise routine. (The same US article featured some other celebs who have successfully beat their battles of the bulge the right way.)

• Jennifer Hudson’s Tip – Watch portions
• Jennifer Love Hewitt’s Tip – Find what (exercise routine) motivates you
• Reese Witherspoon’s Tip – Keep workouts varied
• Ricki Lake’s Tip – Always set new goals
• Kourtney Kardashian – Stick to little meals (5-6 per day)
• Carrie Underwood – Keep a food diary (I’ve tried this but eventually get tired of my pens running out of ink. But it does help!)
• Katherine Heigl’s Tip – Chase after the baby
• Tyra Banks’ Tip – Walk off the extra pounds

Their advice isn’t rocket science or expensive and truth be told, each tip is attainable and manageable no matter what our schedule or budgets. I’m not saying that losing weight is easy (if only), but it’s good to know that these ladies – who oftentimes feel like inhabitants of another planet {Planet Hollywood!} – have (or, had) the same issues and challenges as us everyday folk. And that we can share in their solutions to a better us and bask in our own little spotlight! (Paparazzi not included.)

How Celebs Keep The Weight Off

Putting vanity aside, there are positive aspects to having a good self image. Thinking of yourself in a positive light gives you the ability to carry yourself through your daily tasks and allows you to do so with confidence.

But has today’s culture pushed women too far causing them to obsess over the way they look?

An article titled “Women’s Issues Then and Now,” touches on an interesting study conducted by Glamour which states, “three-quarters of women aged 18-35 reported feeling too fat, while only one quarter of them could be so described.” The study goes on to say that almost 50 percent of surveyed women would choose to lost 10 pounds rather than landing their dream job or meeting their future love.

How did the priorities of our women get so skewed?

Although magazines and the media tend to only provide accolades to women of today who are thin enough or attractive enough, the average woman should not base her self image on appearance alone.

A woman’s self image can directly be related to her self worth. When a woman looks at herself with abhorrence, she may also think of herself as useless. The article “Positive Self Image and Self Esteem” says that, “improving your self-image…takes time and practice. Developing good self-esteem involves encouraging a positive (but realistic) attitude toward yourself and…appreciating your worth. Self-esteem isn’t self-absorption; it’s self-respect.”

While we all want to look good and be accepted, the important issue is our overall health. There are plenty of women today who may appear healthy and meet society’s weight requirements on the outside but are living completely unhealthy lifestyles. Attaining the so called ideal body image can be deadly. Some women resort to starving themselves or eating very little to be appealing to others.

What it boils down to is that being overweight is detrimental to your health. Health issues such as diabetes, heart disease and high cholesterol in women can be directly linked to being overweight. And when your physical health is in decline, your mental health will deteriorate as well. Your body and your mind are directly connected. One won’t work well without the other.

Our society should change the way they look at women. It should shift the focus to losing weight for health reasons, not for vanity. If there wasn’t so much pressure on us to look a certain way, maybe making a lifestyle change would be easier.

Just a thought.

What Have We Done to our Women?

I’ve been blessed with pretty good genes. My weight fluctuates around three to four pounds and I am able to get it under control fairly easily. But after reading a few articles, I got to thinking. If I was unable to keep my weight under control, or was constantly fluctuating between a higher amount of weight like 10 and 20 pounds, what would I give up to keep it in check?

It certainly wouldn’t be coffee: let’s just get real here. And I’m not going to even go there with the whole sex thing: way too personal people. I can’t very well give up something I don’t like. I have to play fair.

So, I think I would give up watching my favorite channel on TV. I don’t watch a lot of television, but when I do, you can bet my TV is turned on to HGTV. My husband and I just recently bought a house and I love watching the shows to get ideas for our new home. It’s a guilty pleasure. I can park myself in front of the tube for hours watching the programs. I love it. It would be a hard luxury to give up.

I was a bit sad thinking about the article. Most people would give up things that make them happy rather than change their way of life for the better. To me, it seemed that more people were concerned with their appearance than their overall health. A person’s self image is important, but in America, many people tend to worry more about what other’s think than how they think and feel about themselves. Thank TV, magazines and movies for that one. We are showed that how we look, what we have and who are friends are is more important that health and overall happiness. That’s just sad.

But, it is what it is. Now the question is turned to Fat Man Unleashed readers. What you would give up? And you have to play by the rules. Don’t say you’d give up going to work. Who wouldn’t?

This is an article from FatManUnleashed.com's Healthy Weight Loss and Fitness Blog.

What Would You Give Up?

Wade Phillips, Dallas Cowboys Head Coach

I don’t know if this was some clever way of getting the word out by Nutrisystem or if it was just some thing that happened. I know that commentators often get tidbits and facts about players and coaches that they then use during slow action of a game, so maybe that was the case here. I dunno…

I kind of feel honored to be on Nutrisystem, having lost 5 lbs so far since I’ve been on it, I feel as if I am in great company. Nutrisystem has definitely done a great job of marketing to the male demographic by getting well-known sports (primarily NFL) players to be their spokesman. It sure calls my attention whenever I see Dan Marino, Curt Menefee or the all mighty, incomparable Chris Berman telling me how much weight they’ve lost while on Nutrisystem. Here’s a list of celebrities that have lost weight with Nutrisystem.

One thing I would like to know is: How long was Wade Phillips on Nutrisystem? What plan was he on? What was his favorite meal? Did he do any exercise? What are his thoughts about “the system”?

Maybe one day we’ll find out…

If you are interested in learning more about Nutrisystem, visit their website.

Wade Phillips Lost 40 Lbs on Nutrisystem?

Here is a group photo of us in front of the Nutrilite Center for Optimal Health:

After the health assessments we ate breakfast, which was delicious. We were then given a tour of the center by Bob Tully (I have pics and video of that too). After the tour we were shown a video that explained what Nutrilite is all about. I must say, it was impressive. They then brought in Bob Tully to talk about perfect balance, Dr. Duke Johnson, M.D. to speak about optimal health, Diane Paetz to speak about fitness, Micheline Vargas to speak about Nutrilite Sports Nutrition, Jenn Stuczynski (Olympic Silver Meal winning pole vaulter) and Tom O’Rourke (masters track cyclist and world-record holder) to discuss sports.

While the above few hours may seem overwhelming, they weren’t. Everything was done smoothly and the time just flew by. We even managed to get in a quick 10 minute workout! I broke a little sweat and so did a lot of the others.

After that we had lunch and some time to talk with Dr. Duke, Jenn Stuczynski, and Tom O’Rourke. Each shared some insight. Jenn and Tom had some great stories and Dr. Duke was very open about sharing his knowledge. We then departed for the Avia Hotel and set out for a group run/jog/walk. John and I decided to jog, while some of the more “in-shape” folks ran. Some people decided to just take a stroll around the area since it was a very beautiful day out.

So that brings me back to now… I am finishing up this post so that I can hop in the shower and meet everyone for dinner. The entire trip to this point has been amazingly eye opening and well worth it. I’ll leave you with a quote (albeit an extremely paraphrased quote) from Tom O’Rourke with regards to weight-loss.

If you want to lose weight, don’t set a goal of weight loss. Set a goal that you can achieve and the weight loss will come.

That really resonated with me because I’ve been there. When I set a goal of being able to do a pull up or being able to do 15 burpees, I have success on the scale and in the mirror. But when I only set weight related goals I tend to get absorbed in that and it really throws my off mentally.

With that said, I’m outty 5000!

Nutrilite Sport Blogger Event Day 2 – Quick Recap of Activities

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 in. Then my cousin calls me and tells me to turn on the television.

The rest is history…

This is an article from FatManUnleashed.com's Healthy Weight Loss and Fitness Blog.

Where Were You on 9/11? Remembering September 11th, 2001

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.

Our bodies are set up naturally to cheat, and find the easy way out of things. Billions of dollars are spent every year on technologies that makes things easier and more accessible. Things like cars, planes, computers, telephones etc. Technology does make our lives easier but it will do so at a cost. We’ve paid the price with our health, and fitness; our bodies have dealt with the burden and have paid the cost. America as a whole has become over fat, and extremely lazy.

America is in a depression but whose fault is that? The fault belongs to each and everyone of us. We as individuals have not taken care of ourselves, our families, our jobs, nor have we taken care of our country. If you study history you will find that in the great depression it was not the government that fixed things, it was we the people that came together and fought for a change to be made. We the people are the one’s responsible for the mess in this country, and I believe it is wrong of us to place blame on any political person in government.

Government is there to make laws, rules, and regulations, but those are made by the demands of we the people. It was we the people who fought against slavery, racism, women’s right, gay’s rights, animal cruelty, tax regulation, etc. It is we the people that put politicians in government to fight for what we the people want. But we the people have become to fat and lazy to step in and fix things ourselves. We would rather live average and ordinary lives, and let the government magically make things all better. Sorry to tell yah but, “It ain’t gonna happen.”

To make a real change in America, each of us individually need to live our lives to the best of our ability. Anything we do needs to be the best we can do. I strongly believe that if we do not take control of ourselves, and if we do not become the master of our own lives. Then anything we do, know matter how great a job it is will never be done to the best of your ability. I believe that 2/3 of this country are not performing at there best, therefore our country is spiraling downward at top speeds.

We are living in a blessed nation, and the generations before us worked hard and worked there best to make this country what it is today. But this new generation has taken all of that for granted and has sat back and watched as America has crumbled. Now ask yourself, what can I do to make a real positive CHANGE???? The answer is simple to say but difficult to do.

Become the master of your life, and take control of your surroundings. If you’re over fat then lose weight, if you’re weak then get stronger, and search for every flaw you can find in yourself and make ways to improve them. Do what you know you need to do, and stop doing what you know you shouldn’t be doing. If we plan on pulling America out of this depression, then each of us individually need to grab the steering wheel and take control. Once you have done this then spread the word to each and every individual you may know.

This country needs to be restored and we must start from the inside and work our way out. My goal in life is to inspire as many people as a can to make this change in their lives. I truly believe that success is in us all, we just have to want it bad enough. When we all individually work at our best, then together we can make a real and lasting change. United we stand, divided we fall.

America is in a Depression but Whose Fault is that?

Two major things occurred to me during the past week. My beloved grandmother passed and my three children along with my estranged wife Lena came from Florida to visit me. My grandma served the disabled during her too short life of 73 years. Her husband, my grandfather, was blind afflicted with the degenerate disease Retinitis Pigmentosa. Three of her six children also have the disease including my father. RP as it is more commonly referred to is the same disease Las Vegas developer Steve Wynn has as well as former San Francisco Mayor Willie Brown has.

After the funeral and burial I got home and peeled off my suit. I took a cleansing shower and thought about a lot of things while I lathered. I came out of the bathroom with a sense of purpose and began to tidy up the apartment. I attacked my forgotten closest with vigor and as I made my way to its long hidden bottom I dug out the “Box”. Formally the Nike shoe box housed a pair of Air Jordan’s but the 1990’s and Rob Liefeld’s brilliant comic book artwork changed that. The newest tenants, my favorite comic book issues quickly took up residence. The Air Jordans were relegated to underneath the bed status, ultra worn. I was a high energy kid, super active and peculiar…but alas I digress that is a story for another post.

As I opened the box for the first time in over ten years the overwhelming and invigorating feeling of comforting nostalgia surrounded me. It brought me back to a time before my kids, a time before Lena. A time when all that mattered to me was playing football and comic books. A time when grandma Concetta was a physically strong mother and her double baked lasagna was legendary. Flipping through the comics three things struck me. First the great artwork, second the awesomely unique physiques portrayed as the ideal and how far my body was currently from attaining my dream super hero shape. I decided that I would give each of my kids two comic books to enjoy, the perfect gift to greet them with as I had to pick them up from the airport in less than two hours.

My house cleaning session ran overtime with all the nostalgic day dreaming. I picked out six comics and grabbed the car keys and proceeded on my journey to New York’s LaGuardia airport. My one and only goal was to pick up my three angels, the sole people in my corner. My ex on the other hand I was determined to be cordial with, but not too nice. It is always a balancing act and test of my will for she can be my Kryptonite.

Which leads me right into the thinking I did during the 40 minute drive from the Bronx to Queens. 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. Furthermore I am willing to wager that if he actually existed he probably would be fat! Come on think about it, flight, X-ray vision, super strength, super speed…these powers are innate and have nothing to do with his body mass index! How cool would a chubby Superman be? Maybe a fat Superman would be more inclined to grow a handle bar mustache to boot or is that wishful thinking on my part? Picture it Superman with a Budweiser in one hand kicking villains around like rag dolls. Super man could rock a baggier suit ala Babe Ruth style.

A fat Superman will no doubt lead comic book buffs to ask: what if a Fat Batman existed? A portly Batman battling The Joker as villainous goons mock Gotham’s vigilant guardian: “Hey FAT MAN!” And then “POW!” right in the kisser Penguin you met your caloric match. Batman might get stuck in the bat mobile, so maybe a Hummer style make over to his wheels might be appropriate. I can envision major advertising campaigns by America’s favorite fast food companies featuring the chunky super heroes. McDonald’s, Burger King, and Wendy’s all competing to get a fat super hero to sign a contact to endorse a Big Mac, Whopper or Frosty. A fat Wolverine would be the Domino’s or Pizza Hut leading man with each one of his adamantium claws piercing through hot cheesy pies.

A definite no-no with our fat version of super heroes is of course Spidey.

Everyone’s favorite web-slinger Peter Parker, aka Spider-Man couldn’t be a 300 pound super hero for practical reasons. Spider-Man might need to be rescued himself if he ever became wedged between two buildings. Get the Crisco, Fat Spider-Man’s butt is breaking multiple city decency codes.

Fat super heroes would give the heavier youngster hope and confidence. National Football League linemen are big boned and they look super hero-ish….so why not in comic books, cartoons, and movies? The NFL has found a role for the rounder male why not Marvel or DC comics next? We definitely need flabbier Super Heroes. If not for the kids at least for me…it would make reaching my goal all the more easier.

As I approached the arrival gate I could hear my kids before I could see them. My stomach fluttered with the excitement of their presence and I smelled the pages of the comics for the last time.

I dedicate this post to my kids who inspire me to be a super dad even though I always fall short and to the loving memory of my Grandmother who was a true Super Hero.

Super Size My Superman and Batman, Fat Super Heroes to the Rescue

BBW stands for Big Beautiful Woman, I actually thought it was an acronym for “Big Boned Woman.” His comments made me think and the entire incident was a real wow moment for me. I couldn’t stop mulling over his assessment of my female preferences. Was my ideal body type in the opposite sexy Rubenesque? Did I subconsciously or even intentionally select women that were pleasantly plump? After getting home I grabbed a pencil and paper and started a list. I listed all the women I dated and put a check mark next to their name if they would be considered a BBW. My results were plain as day : I like FAT girls.

How did this happen? Sure I have always liked my women with curves and a nice healthy rump. Admittedly those “just right” child bearing hips do get me swooning, but how did I become a plumper humper?

I suspect that my acceptance of obese women may stem from being forced as a child to watch Delta Burke’s acting on television, just kidding. Seriously I simply appreciate a full-figured female physique. So I decided to conduct an extremely non-scientific experiment. I had Tommy help me with my experiment by allowing to select pictures of ladies and email them to me. The pictures were of women paired off, forty females in total in a head to toe comparison. The result was again shocking I was indeed infatuated with curves even obese representations of them. I was secretly hoping to shatter Tommy’s very accurate take on my girl taste but alas he was proven correct.

If I were given the choice between a voluptuous woman or a thin body frame I chose the more curvaceous version every time. Tommy laid into me, “You are a certified Chubby Chaser!”

My response, “Who wants to be with bones!”

When you select a couch you pick the one that is plush and comfy, right? The same principle applies to picking a bed you want a nice plump bed that you look forward coming home to. Well I look forward to feel of a woman with meat on her bones. I have to come to grips with that fact and can not deny it. No matter how much my peers ridicule me for my choice it is something I should be proud of. I don’t like the thin look it just isn’t appealing to me.

And it seems as though I am not alone, a simple Google search of the term BBW yields 25 million results. In addition BBW niche specific dating sites are gaining more popularity as it has become apparent to entrepreneurs that big people need love too. I see a new curvy revolution on the horizon, a new era where hips will rule and a little belly will be a badge of honor. The future belongs to the fatties my friend.

So next time you see a plus-sized plump girl give her an extra look and welcome yourself to the club of Chubby Chasers my friend.

I Am BBW Lover and Chubby Chaser Indeed

So back to the MJ Morning Show story. I’m sitting in the car driving my daughter to school this morning. Up the road from her school there was an overturned truck, clogging up traffic. Well, thanks to that truck I happened to catch the folks from MJ’s Morning Show talking about a guy that was homeless and needing to make money. He also happened to be really fat. Something I can relate to. So they got him on the line and are ragging on him about his size and his “loserness” when someone calls in saying they want to offer him a job. It happened to be some telemarketing crap job, which I hate!

I was hesitant at first, but after hearing yet another person call in offering him some kind of telemarketing gig, I decided to call in and help him out. How, you ask? Well, for the longest I have been planning on expanding Fat Man Unleashed and one of those areas will be food reviews. I offer Billy Bob, the homeless fat guy whose real name is Jimmy, the opportunity to go eat and review the foods he eats. So one of the shows interns take my info and my offer down and that was that. I figured it would be lost in the shuffle with all the offers he probably got.

Then I get a call from a buddy that my site was mentioned on the show. SWEET!!! I am not sure what was said, but knowing the cast they probably ragged on the site and on me for being fat. That Fester dude is a fat bastard that lost weight the easy way, with surgery, and he takes it upon himself to belittle (albeit jokingly) fat people. In a weird way I understand how he can diss fat people, he was fat himself…so I don’t hate him for it. Plus, he’s pretty funny most of the time. My favorite on the show is Froggy! Hilarious.

Anyway, just an hour or so ago I got to speak with Billy Bob about the position and he seemed really excited about it, as was I. Hopefully he can start reviewing food soon and we can all see what he has to offer. Plus, he can get some food in his belly.

Appealing to the Women with Divine Caroline

The man behind this testosterone-filled blog is Jason, your average 25 year old Texan. He reveals he is looking to change his career recently and he might become a fireman, but for now he’s searching for online success and says blogging and marketing is his new hobby, even an addiction. And no ladies, he’s married, so you missed out there.

Although Trend Spike is a fairly new blog, it is off to a pretty good start. The front page is filled with great content for you to check out. The site also has a really cool logo which is nice and caught me and made me interested in learning more about the blog. The following are a few posts that we here at FMU thought you, the readers might like.

Undress to Impress

At first I thought, “Wait! Aren’t you supposed to dress to impress?” Apparently not. In this article, Jason explains how to properly undress yourself and your partner in order to ‘impress’ her. Pretty simple, but I guess if you want to gain that extra edge and make your lady happy, you need to know these things so you don’t act too eager or nervous.

14 Reasons Why Being Single On Valentine’s Day Shouldn’t Get You Down

I don’t know about you, but being single on big, bad Valentine’s Day always manages to get me a little unhappy. However, Jason manages to cheer me up a little by offering me a few of the perks of being single. I especially found numbers 7 and 14 useful .

A World Full of Hercules’, DJ Qualls, and Fat Bastards

If you have been living under a rock the past 10 or so years, this title might confuse you. Basically the world is full of muscular, skinny, and Israels . This article however, isn’t there to make fun of you for being a stereotypical overweight or underweight male, it is a great resource for discovering which body type you are and how to properly correct your mistakes in order to change your physique for the better through diet, fitness, etc.

5 Supplements Closer to Becoming the Alpha Male

This article’s title is a little misleading. While it does discuss supplements and how to utilize them for proper muscle growth, it also talks about how to properly eat and what you need (other than pills and powders) in order to get pumped, lose weight, and become overall healthy.

Like I said before, Trend Spike is off to a great start in the blogosphere and FMU will keep a close eye on them. Overall, it’s looking to be a good resource for all males of all body types and we hope you’ll check them out and subscribe to the RSS feed to stay up to date.
