Does anyone watch Man vs Food?



Recommended Posts

Its a show on the Travel Channel that stars Adam, a food challenger that travels the US taking food challenges. Like. 4 lbs buger with 2 lbs of fries that he has to finish in 30 minutes. Or finishing 50 super hot wings in 30 minutes. Ot how bout the 6 lbs of deep fried turkey nuts he eats in 60 minutes?

Today I saw him finish a 9 lb steak platter in 1 sitting. He's successful in about 90% of the challenges. It grosses me out, makes my tummy hurt, but at the same time it pulls me in. He's a little chubby but by@no means obese. Not sure if he eats at any other time.

I ate about 2 oz too much last nite and paid for it on the toilet (sorry, tmi). I can't imagine finishing 9 lbs of food. Can u imagine? Toward the end of any challenge, u see him getting a little sick, mouth start watering, sweating. Not sure if he ever vomits (of course it never shows that part).

I think my tummy would rupture at about 1/10th of his challenges. And I'm being totally serious when I say RUPTURE.

Anyone else watch this show? Like I said, it makes me cringe, sometimes making my stomach turn but it always pulls me in....

I am embarrassed to say that I love this show! Maybe it takes me back to the days where I would eat until feeling like a stuffed pig!! I don't know but it is definitely my guilty pleasure!!!

I watched it when it first started but not since surgery. It seemed to be the same show over and over, with little change. Then again, I started getting put off with all the food shows celebrating the U.S.'s overeating.

I often imagine this show being played prime time on French television... Disparaging remarks about gluttonous gross Americans would be the talk at street side cafés... Lol. He is pretty impressive though... I cannot imagine that he wouldn't have a giant bucket waiting for him after the filming.... Don't think I could watch it now... Last time I watched it he was eating a cinnamon bun the size of my dog!!!

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
