Man v Food

GrayJohn

Makes me want to go and eat a whole lotta food!!! Anyone else fancy a 5lb Burrito? Or a 12 lnch Pizza perhaps?

Anyone else watch this crazy show or is it too much like torture?!

I used to watch, but now it's like watching a guy commit very slow suicide. Just can't stomach it.

I have the same problem! Everytime i watch that show i find myself eating whatever is in my fridge which insn't usually good. However i love watching the show but i try not to watch it at night.

My son loves to watch that show. It kinda grosses me out actually. Haha.

freightdiva

I watch it sometimes almost makes me never want to eat again! (almost) Adam is getting bigger and when my son eews and ahhs over the food I remind him of this fact!

pinksgirlfriend

my boyfriend said to tell you to watch " meat and potatoes" on food network... thats one crazy guy too!

Jenks

I watch it, somedays it grosses me out, but I still watch it :blushing:

I watch that show religiously. Completely hilarious. Most of the oversized food is so gross looking it never makes me want to eat it. I do love ultra spicy foods though, and love when hits up sushi places and other low cal or low carb type foods. Find the good in the bad

Its a great show, that guy must have an insane metabolism or works out a lot to keep it off.

it's one of my fave shows, i just love watching the host emjoy all the awesome food...but i agree with a PP who said it is like watching him slowly commit suicide. i always wonder how many calories are in what he's eating...

GrayJohn

I don't think Adam cares about calories, he is getting bigger. All the food he eats was a normal sitting for me!! Scary thought.

I've not seen that show, mostly because I don't think I"d enjoy watching another person stuffing his face with the most obscene portions of food I've ever seen. The commercials alone make me ill.

danacriley

omg i have watched it with amazement. I just keep saying to my husband - that can't be healthy. I mean that one particular meal is going to cause him to die on the spot. I wait for him to have a stroke on camera.

But now that i'm eating so much less and have less tolerance for crap food, i get sick when i watch. I want to know his cholesterol count!

Laceylala

I LOVE that show when I can remember it is on. I haven't seen recent episodes I guess as I've seen him stay about the same weight.

Scary though how many cals he packs in. I mean just for him to stay around that original weight he'd have to work out hours a day.
In.Sane!

Still love to watch though.

I have only ever seen one episode, and all he ate was 6 buffalo chicken wings. But they were "suicide" wings and incredibly spicy. I didn't know that he ate ridiculous portions so I thought it was just a show where he would eat things like "super spicy" or "strange" like... idk. Eyeballs or something :bigsmile:

It must be awesome to get paid to eat food, but at the cost of his health that seems kinda bad

IMO "Man vs Food" = food porn

I've seen the opinion that the show is just gross, but it makes me jealous and makes my mouth water

kristilovescake

I love that show! I seriously want to know how he’s not 500 pounds though, especially with all of the shows where he eats x amount of lbs of food. I think they need to do a “behind the scenes” with him that shows what his normal non-show day is with exercise and food.

shunsberger

For some crazy reason I like watching Man vs. Food, I must be a masikist (did I spell that right:). I have heard that Adam Richman works out loads, to keep from gaining to much weight, I think it is too keep from dying! Anyway has anybody noticed that he looks about 40 lbs heavier than last season? :drinker:

leavinglasvegas

That show totally grosses me out!!:sick:

But I can't look away!:laugh:

It doesn't make me want to eat. It makes me feel full, lol! Its like an appetite suppresent for me. I once watched a marathon all day when it was rainy out. By bed time, I realized I hadn't even eaten anything all day.

LOL I used to eat stuff like that on a regular basis during football. I would destroy a large pizza like no one's business. I still crush a burrito from Q'doba or Chipotle. The hardest thing I have struggled with is learning that I am not a football player anymore and eating an entire large pepperoni and sausage pizza is not normal LOL!!!

Alioth

I love that show! It always makes me hungry though. I gotta have a snack while watching.

And seriously! I expect that guy to pick up a terrible tropic disease or parasite onna these days if his arteries don't kill him first.

He does do a lot of walking on the show. Maybe it's the walking that keeps him vertical instead of on a stretcher.

He also eats eyeballs. I saw it on one episode in Texas where they buried a cow's head with hot coals in the backyard to slow cook it overnight. He pulled that sucker right out and said, "My favorite!" *chomp*

Totally agree!!

While on vacay in Vegas this year, hubby and I ate at one of the places 'Man v Food' went to - Hash House a Go Go. Hubby ordered what Adam ate...holy crap...disgustingly wonderful gluttony. We ate at that restaurant twice, and it is no surprise we gained weight during the vacay. LOL

Jennwith2ns

DH loves it, I like it ok but it makes me want food I cant (shouldnt) have. I saw an interview with him where he said he works out a lot and really he only eats that much a couple days a week.. they dont film the show every day.

rybo

I love the show!
Back in my younger years when i was pounding the weights I know for a fact I could handle many of the challenges, except for the hot ones. I used to put away absurd amounts of food in one sitting.

It's a hard show to watch. I have watched it over the past 2 years and I swear that he actually gained weight. He was on the morning radio show here weeks ago and they asked him why he doesn't just balloon up. He said that he has a ritual for eating the foods. He didn't say exactly what it is but that he does it. When he eats the other stuff on the show, he said he only eats 1 or 2 bites & that's all. He's very personable too.

My brother turned me onto that show & now we watch it together. Sad, when I watch the challenges I think "pfffttt...I can do that, no problem!".

At some point during the episode my brother will always say the same thing "this guy and Guy Fieri are both gonna die of heart attacks soon!". He says that about Guy because of his Diners, Drive-Ins & Dives show.

You sure that isn't because of the insane amount of bleach he puts in his hair?

SparkleKittie

I pass by this show occasionally. Not exactly my cup o tea. But it's interesting sometimes to see what kinds of horrendous food is out there!
