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

    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 :wink:

    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...

    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.

    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!

    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 :heart:

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

    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.

    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:

    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.:tongue:

    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!!!

    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*
