Big Diesel has been on a health quest lately. Standing at 7 ft 1, Shaq’s highest recorded weight was 415 lbs! Soon, he was hit with the realization that he needs to bring major changes to his lifestyle. In fact, he was motivated to get rid of the “Charles Barkley retirement body”. Whether or not this is just another jab at his colleague, it’s working. Shaquille O’Neal has already lost over 50 lbs! Now, he is motivated to take it up a notch higher in order to achieve a unique ambition he has set his eyes on.

The 4x NBA champion is not just a giant on the court, he has a big name in the business world. Shaq is a proud owner of over 15o restaurants. Despite having numerous outlets in his name, Shaq ditched his own range of restaurants for this $3 billion company.

Shaquille O’Neal picks a multi-billion dollar company over his own

The Los Angeles Lakers legend dominated the league for 19 seasons. Post his retirement, not much has changed. Whether it’s TNT or the world of business, Shaq continues to leave a huge mark wherever he goes. He has owned restaurants, car washes, and stores and they just might be too many to count.

Particularly in the restaurant business, Shaq has opened dozens of new outlets for his Big Chicken chain across the country. Even though the man owns enough restaurants to feed a small country, he chose a different company when it gets the rumbles in his stomach.

Susie Bulloch of Hey Grill, Hey was recently on the Shootin’ The Que Podcast where she talked about her experience of working with Big Diesel. Bulloch said that she was approached by Shaq’s team for a show he was doing to promote his own restaurants.

She added that she watched Shaq, in between takes, “…eat more In-N-Out cheeseburgers in a five-minute period, than I thought any human could eat.” She said that she thought he could eat any amount that he wanted because of the ginormous size of his body.

It’s a good thing that this incident is from the past as the new Shaq is more focused on his health than ever. And his reasoning for it may surprise you…

Shaq’s interesting goal after weight loss journey

Shaquille O’Neal was a monumental figure in every sense of the word. But with the effect of aging, he understood that he needs to bring in some major transformation. Soon enough, the man was on a mission.

The goal of the mission? As Shaq himself explained, “I want to do an underwear ad with my sons [for] Fruit of the Loom, baby.”

Can’t say it isn’t an amusing prospect! And it seems that Shaq is intent on achieving this goal. Fans have witnessed a sudden influx of workout videos on his social media feeds and also noticed the rim-breaker getting into better shape. Having lost over 50 lbs, Shaq’s mantra is to not be too strict with his diet. He gets to eat a few things of his liking in exchange for a rigorous workout. That sounds like a fair trade-off!
