Furious Pete          

Overcame Anorexia to Become a Professional Competitive Eater & Fitness Guru

Peter Czerwinski, better known by his stage name Furious Pete, is a competitive eater and bodybuilder. Czerwinski holds nine Guinness World Records in eating.

Peter Czerwinski was born November 30, 1985, in Toronto. Both his parents had health issues. As a teenager, he battled against anorexia and was hospitalized at the Toronto Sick Kids Hospital; according to himself, he recovered by bodybuilding. He holds a science degree in Health and Nutritional Sciences at Cork Institute of Technology (CIT), Ireland. Czerwinski has a slower digestion rate than the average person's. His daily diet comprises six balanced meals and he exercises daily. Czerwinski realized his talent in eating when he managed to beat an eating record. Thereafter, he decided to take up more eating-related challenges and post them on YouTube.

Having participated in more than 90 eating competitions, Czerwinski holds six Guinness World Records in competitive eating, including that for eating a whole raw onion in 43.53 seconds, devouring 17 bananas in two minutes, finishing 15 hamburgers in 10 minutes, guzzling a 750-millilitre bottle of olive oil in 60 seconds and consuming 17 Jaffa Cakes in 60 seconds. He also participated in season one of Canada's Got Talent. For his performance, he consumed five hard boiled eggs, three pieces of Canadian bacon, two bananas and a bag of milk in 51 seconds; however, he did not make it past the Toronto Auditions.

A direct-to-DVD documentary film, titled "The Story of Furious Pete," chronicling Czerwinski's life has been produced by GI Productions. It screened at the Hot Docs Canadian International Documentary Festival. The "Furious Pete Burger," which consists of 20 pieces of bacon and 20 pieces of cheese, alongside a five-pound platter of fries, is named after him, after Czerwinski became the first person in 1,500 attempts to finish it.
