    I love that programme!

    I just drool the whole way through. Even went to a few places he visited when I was in the US in July!
  • haha, i'm watching this right now... he's eating some insanely hot chicken wings....

    its incredible to think people eat this stuff though, i agree :P

    I love that show, even though watching him eat so much gives me a stomachache! There was one episode that featured food challenges during a relay mini tri, I couldn't imagine stuffing my face then running!

    Some of it does look nice, but it's that thing where you know really that you would never order it yourself!

    I love that show! Adam always makes sure to work out and drinks nothing but water or club soda, and he doesn't eat the day before a challenge ;3. He's also doing a show called Man vs Food Nation where he cheers on and guides someone else who's doing a challenge instead. Maybe his doctor said he needed a break :laugh: ?

    I watched the new series yesterday and I couldn't believe it. Adam has gained a huge amount of weight. I suppose the challenges must have caught up with him.
  • Agh I hate that show !!! That man is a fat disgusting pig !!! Pple starving all over the world and he goes around stuffing his face. This culture of excess makes my skin crawl. Its like watching food fights in movies. Wasteful !! :'(
  • This show is fun to watch BUT DO NOT IMITATE ADAM

    Haha I actually like this programme , was just discussing it today. All my friends think my husband looks like Man v Food as well which tickles me :laugh: (can't remember his actual name)

    I suppose eight pounds of chicken wings, seven pound omelettes, and whatever else he's tried to push down his throat would do that. LOL. He's going to need MFP when his show is through. :smile:

    Oh it's finally caught up with him??

    He has never been thin, but I always expected him to be far fatter for the amount he consumes, I just assumed he must starve and work out like hell on the days he's not filming!

    i cant imagine his blood pressure or cholesterol!!

    its entertaining -- but pretty gross at the same time
  • OMG I've never seen this show before until today. I'm in shock!!! why would ANYONE eat any sandwich of that SIZE!!! (or pizza as i've seen in the advert)

    I understand that some good food can be very high calories and we should not be totally deprived from it (good in my term is not processed, freshly made and most importantly make with passion, love and care :D) and those sarnies were definitely made with 70yrs worth of love!! I would probably love to try one of them at some point.

    BUT....omg to the portion size, no wonders there's such a huge problem with obesity over there! it's not the food that disgusts me...its the size. People need to be told not to eat like that everyday...hell not even every week. I like the guy, he a fun character, but I personally think he's promoting and fueling a REALLY bad eating habbit. It's almost saying "look it's cool and fun to eat so much high fat food in this large amount"

    We noticed that too, and i read an interview with him and his reason for stopping was "people can only watch the same guy stuff his face for so long before it gets old." but then he samples everything EXCEPT the challenge food on MVF nation. One can only have so many gallons of ice cream and so many full cow's worth of beef before it catches them :)

    I can't believe how much he can eat but I guess they don't film on consecutive days as one person mentioned last night that he hadn't eaten for 2 days... so that must be how he's managing to eat that much in one sitting cos he's starving himself for a day or more before each food challenge!
  • That show is great. I enjoy ji,ping on my motorcycle and going to those places that are within a few hundred miles of me. It's a guilty pleasure. But then I "punish" myself in the gym for about a week! Lol!

    I like that show.
    No, I wouldn't copy that and eat that amount but it can be fun to watch! Some of the food looks really nice too, all you have to do is scale down the portions.
    Also, it would be great for people wanting to gain. My bf is always after the recipes for those sorts of food. He wants to gain weight, and loves to cook!

    I like the show. My husband, unfortunately, could easily match up with Adam. He started to do man v nation for his health I thought.

    I heard he wasn't allowed to eat like that anymore. His doctor told him he'd die if he kept it up. They said on his new show he will just take a bite instead of eating everything, and on that show he now just watches other people do it, but I'm fairly certain that this isn't true. I watched his other show (Amazing Eats) and he was eating it all up.

    That show has been responsible for many quiet meals with my 3 and 5 year old when I give them their own Adam challenges. They even eat all of the veggies and foods they have never tried during challenge meals!

    Well, I think MFP is full of peeps who might have stuffed their faces on a few occasions as well. Its not him, its the people who pay his checks and the restaurants who are being promoted through the show. I have a food challenge at my place (a food cart in Portland, Oregon) and usually excess food goes to the homeless people. Who are you to say he shouldn't stuff his face anyway? Thats like telling a fat person they can't eat until they are full (which could be an astronomical amount) because they "technically" don't need it because they've got plenty of body fat.
