Gabriel Iglesias Loses Weight For Fluffy Breaks Even!!!

Magic Mike star Gabriel Iglesias Loses Weight For Fluffy Breaks Even reality TV an unscripted series about his struggles eating healthy and working out while on tour on FUSE.

The new series premiered tonight on the FUSE Network where audiences get to watch a behind-the-scenes look at comedian Gabriel Iglesias touring life. While Fluffy travels across the country, he and fellow comedians Martin Moreno and Rick Gutierrez tweet to their followers about the best places to eat in each city. Each episode shows the trio having a meal followed by a unique workout to burn off the calories they’ve just consumed, all while the comics hilariously riff on the experience.

Here is what Iglesias said:

“I love shows like ‘Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives’ or ‘Man v. Food’ where they get to go eat,”

They get to go eat. They don’t have to tell jokes or nothing. I said to myself, ‘I want that gig.’”

Audiences will get to watch some crazy food antics like memorable dining experiences include the Barn Door in Odessa, Texas, whose massive Tomahawk-style steak was preceded by a 20-pound block of cheese as an appetizer, or World Famous Fried Chicken in Memphis, Tenn. With every indulgence comes a workout that included everything from pole dancing to Ultimate Fighting Championship training to a military apocalypse survival course.

He adds:

“I don’t want the fans to think, ‘Oh he’s messing around. He eats like he’s serious, but he doesn’t take that workout like it’s serious.’”

Watch a snippet from the series premiere of Fluffy Breaks Even introduced fans to the crazy fried world of the Heart Attack Grill, a hospital-themed restaurant in Las Vegas offering “prescriptions” of burgers, chili fries, half-pound hot dogs and other artery-clogging delicacies.

To find out exactly what went into the food he and his fellow comedians ate, Rick Gutierrez returned to the Heart Attack Grill for a lesson on…lard? Sitting down with Nurse Lola and Nurse Ricki, he learned just how frighteningly fattening the menu items are.

What caused Fluffy to do the series on FUSE?

Iglesias has since made a career out of a nickname many would shun. Known to his fans as Fluffy — because, in his words, he’s not fat, he’s fluffy — the former “Last Comic Standing” contestant continually sells out shows internationally and contributes to box office hits like the “Magic Mike” franchise. But after at one time pushing almost 450 pounds, his doctor warned him of the health concerns related to obesity and diabetes.

“I was all back, like a turtle,” he joked about the amount of weight he formerly carried. “But it was one of those things where I’ve been this character of Fluffy, but I needed to find a way to let people know that my comedy isn’t going to change, but I physically need to change. By incorporating it into my [stand-up] show, I [was able] to explain it, to let them know, ‘You’re in on the ride.’” – LA Times
