Does anybody else watch this show?? It's like a bad car wreck...I just can't stop watching it. Can you just imagine how many calories this guy ingests while taping?? His job is probably killing him.

Thoughts?

    Agreed!!! If you watch shows from the earlier seasons and then watch the most recent ones, you can actually tell a big difference in his weight...I love food, but that just doesn't even look enjoyable!

    I love this show! It always makes me wonder what his eating habits are while he's not filming.

    I think the same thing when I watch the show too, it would be interesting to see how many calories are in one of the meals. its amazing to see what and how much food people put into one portion on that show.

    Love watching the different restaurant foods! Ever wonder if its edited, do you really think he eats all of it? He has gained some weight the last few seasons.:wink:

    Apparently, this is what I've heard and read but who knows what actually is true, when he's not eating on camera he is incredibly healthy and works out A LOT!!! And when he does a challenge that involves a lot of eating he fast for 24 hours prior. That makes me wonder even more because he works out and eats healthy otherwise, so really how many calories does he consume on camera because he's a pretty gerthy guy. I love watching him get chunkier through a season. He always comes back a little thinner and leaves a little bigger.

    I LOVE that show!!!! Yes he has gained some weight over the past couple seasons, which I'm not surprised about at all. Watching that show can be so bad for me though, because he eats some of the most amazing looking things!!!! Other times, the portions of the things he eats just completely turns me off to the thought of eating, which is a good thing atleast!!

    OMG this show is nuts. Someone already mentioned how much his weight has changed since the beginning of the show, its crazy, even his complexion has changed. He looks so unhealthy, sometimes I wonder how this will effect him in the long run. The amount of food he eats is horrific. But I must say, I enjoy watching it. lol.

    I watch this show as well. And I agree, I think he has gained weight.
    I actually read an interview with him recently and he says that he is in the gym a lot on his off days and that he only eats egg whites and spinach when he is not at work. Still though...seems like he is doing atleast some significant damage to his body.

    I feel bad for him. You know that a lot of restaurants make up some incredibly spicy or just plain hard to eat foods just for him.
    Did you see the episode with the ghost chiles? Oh man, that must have sucked!

    My husband loves this show -- I like some of them, but I don't understand why anyone would try to win some of those competitions ... ugh.

    I have seen the show and hate to admit it I watch with this odd fasination. My husband says that Adam Rich prob is a candiadate for heart attack. I read somewhere that he exercises two hours a day when he travels and doesnt eat any meals on the day of a challenge (with exception to the challenge). I still am flabbergasted at some of the challenges. Do people really want that and if so WHY???

    It's my man's favorite show I think my bf wants to be him!! This weekend my bf did a food challenge in Chicago and beat a speed record. I thought it was cool but he just lost 40lbs so i was kind of disappointed that he'd do that to himself. but oh well I guess once is better than for a living! haha

    I love this show so much! Makes me want to visit America to visit all the yummee food places. Not so good for the diet though :wink:

    i do know that he cheats a little sometimes...for example...the episode where he went to charleston sc and did the spicy sushi challenge he drank milk during it (which tones down the spicyness) Since we live in the area, my bf was interested and went and did the exact challenge and in the official rules, you are not allowed to drink milk.....

    but i still gotta give the guy props...he's like a human garbage disposal

    I love watching the show. I like to see a person throw caution to the wind and try to digest enough food to make a normal person's stomach burst. If he wasn't funny, I would have given up on the show ages ago. When he attempts the challenges, My wife will leave the room. She says it makes her sick to Adam try to eat so much food.

    I have hear this same exact thing, I believe it was an article I read somewhere.
    He runs A LOT is what he says. We all know that it is a great calorie burning activity!

    It is edited,when he did the Big Texan in Amarillo he didnt finish the meal I know several people who were there,and one that was even on it with him from the roller derby team,and everyone tells me he actually didnt eat all the food.
    Just because they slap a reality tv lable on it dosent make it real
