HOW!? :noway:

WHY??!!??!! :noway:

And again...HOW!?!?!? :noway:

I seriously love this show...but that man's body must HATE him. Seriously. I don't even know how he gets that food, into his body. I asked my hubbo tonight, how long does he not eat before a challenge?

One recommendation: Do not watch while working out. I was at the gym and someone turned it on while I was on the elliptical. It was rather nauseating to watch him shovel this food in while I sweated my brains out. Just a suggestion...LOL!

    I watch MMA when I can. Not matter how much my legs hurt, see a guy get kicked in the nose and they don't hurt so much anymore.

    OMG! Seriously! Watching it is like driving by a car accident - you can't look away but it's just so sickening. He's gotten fatter each season. It makes my gallbladder hurt just watching it. He's going to have diabetes or a heart attack, and it's all just for some stupid show! He's ruining his health. I want to tell him to stop because he seems like a cool guy.

    SERIOUSLY! I was wondering if he works out even because why in heaven's name doesn't he weigh some huge number? He either has a very high metabolism or works out at every hotel workout room along the way! LOL!

    Oh I know, I love his voice. He should read and record books...as long as he isn't eating in the background...that would be disturbing!
  • Besides the HUGE amounts of consumption, he seems to almost always manage to take in some industrial strength firey concoction...must have a stomach made of steel....cannot be destroyed by conventional means
  • I've only caught glimpses of this show. Probably for the best..lol He will regret all the crap he is putting in his mouth. Although it may not show in some huge weight gains, his internals are battling for which one is gonna go out first!

    LOL! True! I watched an episode tonight where I wasn't sure how he was speaking afterwards. His stomach was literally...Wow!!!

    Interesting tidbit on Wikipedia...love that site:

    A self-educated food expert and trained sushi chef,[3] since 1995 he has kept a travel journal including each of the restaurants he visited and what he learned from the trip. Although described as "a bit on the husky side", to maintain his health while indulging for his show on Travel Channel's Man v. Food (which he began hosting in 2008), Richman exercises twice a day while he is on the road.[1][4] When the schedule permits, he does not eat the day before a challenge and he tries to stay "crazy hydrated" by drinking lots of water or club soda and forgoing coffee or soft drinks.[5]

    Twice...a...day....I would be SO frustrated if I looked like that working out twice a day! Then again...he has to maintain that um, er, physique if he wants to keep the show on the road...literally!

    My husband is obsessed with that show! So of course, I have to watch too. I think he purges, I mean after eating all that I think my body would automatically do it! But if you notice, he is ALWAYS wearing a jack of some sort, it drives me nuts! lol

    We watch it. In fact, the show that aired a last week featured the hamburger "the big Ugly" and we happen to live a couple hours away from there. SO, we went. My husband and my son both got the "big ugly" and finished it. They got their picture on the wall. On the show, he ate like 2 1/2 of them.... now that's crazy. Thankfully they didn't! But we did see a pic of a guy who ate 3 of them! YOu have to be seriously hungry to consume that. (and crazy!)

    My husband and I love that show! The requirements of hosting the show seem to be catching up with him (how COULDN'T they) as he seems a bit, um, puffier this season.

    I think the opposite...I think he pukes after every show and/or has the runs for days........nice thought huh? :laugh:
  • I love Adam but yeah, the boy is going to kill himself! Too bad because he's a cutie. That accent is <3

    That is awesome!!! The closest I live to one of his stops is about an hour and a half but its a chilli joint and that is NOT something I could ever consume large amounts of nor consume HOT amounts of. Yeah...not my specialty AT all...

    And have you noticed his jackets are getting tighter! LOL! Working out twice a day isn't helping him fight the thousands of calories he's stuffing in his face and not eating shuts down your metabolism... it's a train wreck.

    Adam is a cool guy, he needs a fitness show now. HA!!
