Is anyone else a little grossed out and jealous at the same time? He gets paid big bucks to eat everything. However I'm sure his cholesterol, blood pressure and weight go up with every episode I see him in. Seriously tho. It looks like he gets bigger EVERY episode! I wonder how his health is..on a serious note..

    Gluttony at it's finest. I think it's sickening.

    I'm not jealous! I can't stand that show...to me there's nothing more gross then watching someone shove food in their face for the sake of "entertainment".

    I'm sorry, but I'm not impressed that he can eat half his body weight in a few hours. :sick:

    YES absolutely agree.

    On a side note, he is a runner. :)

    I'm going to go with gross. Especially when he eats something spicy and sweats. Ew.

    He works out twice a day when he's not actively filming just to keep at the lifestyle he's at now. I believe he only films two days a week, so that's 5 days of double workouts.

    He gets checked out physically pretty regularly from what he said. I was on the show in Chicago and talked to him afterward. He said he doesn't eat all day before the challenge. I still think its pretty dangerous. He was in good health that first season but I bet it's not so great now. I haven't really watched it since they changed the opening and I'm not in it anymore... I know I'm vain haha

    He's a pretty cool guy:) He got beat in Des Moines when he took on the Adam Emmenecker sandwich.

    What's an Adam Emmenecker you ask?

    Two halves of Jethro’s huge tenderloin, an 8-ounce Angus steak burger topped with melted cheddar cheese, 8 ounces of Texas brisket, several slices of applewood-smoked bacon, two large buffalo chicken tenders, two squares of fried cheese and a ladleful of white cheddar sauce.

    Some of it is definitely entertaining. He gets to eat some of the BEST food in the country!! Way lucky! But the whole sweaty I'm gonna pop thing is kinda nasty :)

    cant stand the way he talks with a mouth full of food, its worse then any other food star... it mimics the sounds of a pig eating slop out of a troff. disgusting.

    I too have noticed that he has put on weight. But I recently read an interview of his and he says when he is not filming he is at the gym and he mostly eats only egg whites and spinach.

    On another note.... why does he always swear long sleeves when he sweats profusely every time he does a challenge?
    I'm always like "take your freakin jacket off!". lol

    There's a reason it's called Man vs Food Nation now. He's the host and other people do the challenges. I'm guessing he had a "come to Jesus" moment when he realized how much he was eating.

    I would've never pegged him as a runner LOL. But good for him for taking up SOME sort of sport other than eating.
    But I agree it makes me cringe when he's eating a greasy burger with bacon a stack of cheese and a tub of mayo :-/
    Makes my belly Hurt thinking about it..

    He's got my husband's dream job. My husband surely eats more than he does as well. Lucky *kitten* doesn't gain an ounce, and every physical indicates perfect health.

    Adam Richman works out all the time and he's a runner also. Plus they dont film every day. He takes care of his health, he's obviously aware of what it is doing to his body.

    I LOVE the show. I watch it all the time, cause some of that food is just amazing looking.

    My boyfriend and I love that show! We find it hard to watch since we are watching what we eat. My boyfriend refers to it as "Food Porn", hahahaaa.

    They actually changed the show... now it's Food Nation and he coaches other people through the challenges.

    Well the new season is Man vs Food nation or something like that. Now he doesn't do the challenges but has other people doing them. I know he filmed this week with a nascar driver doing the eating.

    Just reading that as one meal, I about gagged!

    I HATE food eating contests. Food should be enjoyed. He's not even enjoying his food after a little bit. What's the point?

    That being said, we love the other parts of his show, to get ideas on good eats. We saw a show about Charleston, SC a few weeks before we were to travel there.

    The only thing I don't like about that show is the spicy stuff. Why eat it if you can't even taste it?! haha. Love Adam. he's kinda hot.

    I figured part of why he changed the format of the show was likely due to him not being able to keep doing those challenges. I like the show, it's fun. If he was eating like that all the time, he'd be way bigger than what he is.

    I think that show's awful. There is so much hunger and poverty in the world and the American's are showing gluttony at it's finest. Another reason to be proud. Ugh.

    Yeah, I wonder all the time if there is like a set amount of time in between the horrible eating sessions.
