Eat over 33,000 calories a DAY

[dudeitzanna]

I just watched a show on TLC called "I Eat 33,000 Calories A Day" and I watched the entire show with my mouth open. :shock:
Four people with addictions to food weigh over 600 pounds, one man weighing almost 900 pounds, and they can't do anything to lose all that weight.
My goodness, I felt so bad for them because I know how it feels to crave food, but not to that extent, and their craving for food is 24/7 and is killing them.
One guy eats around 36,000 calories a day. My god. I just had to write about this :yuck:

[Adam goes bang]

Omg, that is seriously sick. I dont even eat 33,000 calories worth of food in 2 weeks! Figure if you have a balanced 2000 calorie diet every day that would take you roughly 2 weeks to eat that much, and one person is doing that in a day.

[dudeitzanna]

exactly. they also ate around 400 grams of fat every day.

[Jutty]

Jebus thats lot...I was doing around 4-5k maybe more when I was swimming/water polo in college...but damn that is ridiculous...I just don't know how you could live like that...

[dudeitzanna]

oh yeah. this one lady explained that when she's eating, she is in total bliss and doesn't see anything going on around her and only sees her food. this other guy said eating was better than sex. but at the rate they were eating, they were gaining about 2 pounds every single day, nonstop. O.o. 2 of the guys hadn't even left their beds/room for 10 years. 80

[NEFFsteeze]

imagine how often they take a **** hahahaa

[ftblplyr46]

A. Doctors treat them, and help them lose weight, or B. Just put them down. Thats stupid. While some people are big genitically and other blah blah blah, most of them are just fcking lazy and stupid, and I have no pity for them. I seriously bout puked after reading they eat 33k calories. Thats just disgusting, and Im sure they are no pretty roses. Im sure thats one nasty ass house.

[Burton Doom]

yea u need to just lay off the food there are no drugs in it you can quit it so go stop eating food and walk and start to exersice. I know for some people it is genetically harder but you aren't born 600 pounds.

[dudeitzanna]

agreed.
they were spilling over their beds. and i was watching them and it's like... good lord. just stop eating! they don't even try to fight it. and this one black guy has to have his family around to cook for him or else he will use his cell to order food. he'll get food no matter what it takes.
stupid. :[
i still pity them though :[. it's sad what some peopel do to their lives.

most of them use diapers. i can't imagine that they poo too much because they probably have the slowest metabolisms on earth and are constantly constipated.

[leftyyy510]

i watched that. it was actually really gross. when they put all the food they ate in one day on the table, i looked at it and all i could think was "i eat that much in like a week.. at the least"

[Adam goes bang]

seriously, if they cant leave their bed, stop feeding them. Im sure they are going to be able to survive a couple days without eating.

[elmoiscool45]

yea u need to just lay off the food there are no drugs in it you can quit it so go stop eating food and walk and start to exersice. I know for some people it is genetically harder but you aren't born 600 pounds.

Well you can actually get addicted to anything. and some people's bodys dont send the message of fullness to there brains. Its sad and totally disgusting though.

[dudeitzanna]

i didn't understand why these fat people were given any aid though. i mean, if they had no phone and no peopel around them to feed them, and no money, then they wouldn't be able to eat. umm.... obvious much?

[DPancoast]

I always hate watching those shows. Same with the talk shows that have the overweight kids on them with their parents that don't even care....*sigh* what a depressing topic lol

[Spin240]

What size snowboard would one of these people ride??? saying the average 160lb to 180lb rider is on about a 155 with about a 25cm waist width.... So they wuld need like a 500cm board with a 80cm waistwidth ... Think burton can crank one of these suckers out? LOL

[Baz3001]

i didn't understand why these fat people were given any aid though. i mean, if they had no phone and no peopel around them to feed them, and no money, then they wouldn't be able to eat. umm.... obvious much?

Uhh, so you're saying what? Just leave them to die? Fat or not, they're human beings and have as much right to live as you do.

And like some guy said, some people have addictive personalities and can get addicted to anything, even eating. They have a health problem, so they should be helped, not left to rot.

[Spin240]

The people who help this addictive behavior only perpetuate the cycle of the problem. Help them lose it or dont help them at all... helping them eat more definately isnt helping

[gavn]

The fact that a person lets it get that bad is what boggles the mind. They have clearly failed at life.

[dudeitzanna]

Uhh, so you're saying what? Just leave them to die? Fat or not, they're human beings and have as much right to live as you do.

el oh el. i'm not saying that htey should be left to die.
i'm saying that if they weren't offered so much help from their family, and help meaning given so much food, then they would be better off, at least for a while.
i mean, i'm sure if they only eat 2000 calories a day they would be able to survive. they wouldn't die or anything. not even get malnourished.
their helpers should definitely do anything in their power to restrict the amounts of food those people eat. they can do it. even if it means to leave them for certain lengths of time.

[dudeitzanna]

The people who help this addictive behavior only perpetuate the cycle of the problem. Help them lose it or dont help them at all... helping them eat more definately isnt helping
i wholeheartedly agree :lol:

[boarderchick]

Contrary to popular belief, obesity is a serious chronic disease. For some people, the problem really is genetic...their bodies don't process fat as well as the bodies of others. In the case of these individuals, it may have began like that and then became out of hand through bad behavioral or environmental settings. I see and deal with many obese people in my occupation...and the truth of the matter is, is that when it comes down to it, they are still people, just like baz said. To me, the sad part is seeing someone who doesn't understand the effects of their disease and how detrimental (sp?) it could be. Anyhow, I guess what I'm trying to get to is that love is blind, and I guess in this case what I mean by that is that the family/friends who are "contributing" to the disease of these obese people maybe don't see themselves that by doing what they believe is helping (ie: providing food, etc...) to these people is actually hurting them more. I hope I'm making sense, and if not, I'm sorry. But, what it really boils down to, is that to be cured, one must first want to be...in other words, these people must first want to help themselves before others can be expected to help them.

[Baz3001]

^ Nurse Tiff in the hizzouse.:hail:

[dudeitzanna]

wow. that's deep.
i really do feel badly for their family members

[Chello0o]

Yeah, Ive seen similar programs on Discovery Channel....its kinda like a car crash...it's discusting, but you can't look away.

[RomeRider101]

Omg, that is seriously sick. I dont even eat 33,000 calories worth of food in 2 weeks! Figure if you have a balanced 2000 calorie diet every day that would take you roughly 2 weeks to eat that much, and one person is doing that in a day.



good point...that means they could eat one of us in one day...

AHHHHHH

[CustomRider13]

Omg, that is seriously sick. I dont even eat 33,000 calories worth of food in 2 weeks! Figure if you have a balanced 2000 calorie diet every day that would take you roughly 2 weeks to eat that much, and one person is doing that in a day.
2357 calories a day. That's pretty gross.

[CustomRider13]

They should give those people food that doesn't taste good. Maybe that'll stop them from eating so much. I've seen some shows about really fat people and they eat some good stuff. Who pays for all that food and why are they helping them stay fat with tasty food???

[ADRsk8boarder]

imagine how often they take a **** hahahaa

hahaha there so fat they **** themselves cause they cant get out of bed. this is sad but if only they controled themselves from the get go and had respect for their body. i dont mean to sound like an ******* but u dont get that way from eating veggies and fruits

[RomeRider101]

they do prob. sh!t by the gallon

haha

[CustomRider13]

wonder if they have special toilet bowls the size of jacuzzi's.......

[dudeitzanna]

yeah. if i was the black guy's mom, dad and niece, i would give him teh nastiest food ever so he wouldn't want it anymore.
the bed-ridden people wear diapers!! so sad. and you actually could get fat from eating too much fruit. too much of anything will get you fat.

[CustomRider13]

I would make them exercise for food. haha. Tie a piece of bacon with a string and let it hang from the ceiling so that they would have to do a sit up to reach it. Or.......tie a stick onto their back with a burger hanging from a string so that they will try to run and chase it (but they'll never get it. Damn, I'm evil).

[DPancoast]

Its hard to feel sorry for these people sometimes...but what if you were them ya know?

Guess people just dont get it.

they can barely stand up!! haha
one guy has been laying in his bed for 3 years straight. the other hasn't left his room for 10 years. it would probably take them a week to even try to get up, and a month to chase after a piece of bacon!! haha

lol, I didn't think about that. Well, they should make the string long enough for them to reach but it'll be short enough to make them break a sweat. If they broke a sweat, that would be like 20 lbs right there. :] After they reach the first string........eh, screw it, they'll probably just go to sleep and starve to death. They oughta just do lipo and feed them just vegetables and fruit. Stuff that doesn't have fat or much carbs. I could just picture how pissed off they will be if that happened. haha.

[CustomRider13]

I could try to understand them but I don't think there is a good enough reason for them allowing that to happen. Only thing I could think of is laziness and a lack of self control. They odviously knew the consequences of their actions and absence of their actions (not exercising) during the process of gaining all that weight, and they chose to ignore it or they chose to not give it too much consideration. That is their fault.
I eat a lot and I love eating but I exercise or I control myself from eating too much. It's not like they can't do that. People can learn self control if they try but they chose to do what's easier and more desirable and they ignored the consequences.
I eat a lot myself but I exercise and I don't do that all the time (like I used to). Trust me, I eat a lot. Buffet places hate me. Me and my buddy Roger love going to buffets. We would throw down atleast 4 huge seriously stacked plates (it can feed a family of 4) every time we go. They're always surprised when we go for the second plate and even more when we go for thirds. My buddy's about 5'11 and 155 lbs and I'm almost 5'11 and 165 lbs, so they would never suspect that we would eat our money's worth and then some. haha. But by the 4th plate, they start giving us dirty looks. haha. Anyways, if you eat that much, you better be ready to run a couple of miles or pump some iron or both. If you're not, then you shouldn't eat that much.

[CustomRider13]

anyways, LIPO and VEGIE/FRUIT diets for all the obese people!!

[nthach]

The ironic truth is, obesity is becoming a state of mind now. These days, we eat way too much processed crap it isn't funny. I know of a kid who i really, really hate and he eats at McDick's no fewer than 2 times a day. And he's a soccer player too! It's like putting cheap Arco gas into a $80,000 Mercedes, Lexus or BMW the car will run like crap with crap gas, you might feel like crap after eating all of this junk. Garbage in, garbage out.

[redace24]

I seriously bout puked after reading they eat 33k calories.

Yeah, isn't that enough to feed several 3rd world countries for a few months?!?!

Nah, I hear you and I agree. But Im just saying. Sometimes it isn't their fault legitamatly but that's already been said. I don't feel bad for the people that sub conciously know that they are getting fat and know they can do something about it, and then won't do it. Even asking for help is a little bad for me unless you will use the help and not just act like you're trying. Im 5'8 and 135 lbs. I can eat like my dad (6'3 225). You just have to keep yourself in check and some people learn that when it's too late.

[CustomRider13]

exercise and self control is what they needed to do and practice. Since, they chose to ignore that, they have paid the ultimate consequence and are now forced to being confined to their beds. Anyways, lipo and fruit/veggie diets for all the obese people!!

[snowboarding_bear]

i eat non stop...lol but im not really that fat...i actually lost allot of wieght(13 pounds) in 2 weeks b/c i started drinkin allot more than i ate(i average 2quarts of crystal light a day)but yeah now im 197lbs i was 210...

[ftblplyr46]

2357 calories a day. That's pretty gross.

Are you retarded? No, seriously, are you? Answer that, and Ill let you in on a lil secret.

[dudeitzanna]

They oughta just do lipo and feed them just vegetables and fruit. Stuff that doesn't have fat or much carbs. I could just picture how pissed off they will be if that happened. haha.


they were offered lipo surgeries but only if they were to lose 100+ pounds, which is absolutely impossiblef or them to do because they can't even move in the first place. how depressing.

[CustomRider13]

Are you retarded? No, seriously, are you? Answer that, and Ill let you in on a lil secret.
lmao. I made a mistake on the number. Don't be a little bit** about it.

[ADRsk8boarder]

i just did a diet anylasis and for my height 5'6'' and 110 lbs. i should be getting 3300 cal a day but thats cause im growing and active. it helps put food in a new perspective if u get the chance to anylize ur diet

[RomeRider101]

i did theat when i started my workout plan like 14 months ago...they did the blood test and everything they told me 2650/day

[dudeitzanna]

i eat non stop...lol but im not really that fat...i actually lost allot of wieght(13 pounds) in 2 weeks b/c i started drinkin allot more than i ate(i average 2quarts of crystal light a day)but yeah now im 197lbs i was 210...
i eat 24/7. i can't stop eating. whenever i'm not eating, i can't stop thinking about food. it's really annoying. sometimes i binge so badly that i feel like throwing up and feel extremely sick. :|
i probably eat more than any other girl you know, but i still exercise ya know.
it's a wonder why i'm not fat.
but good lord. every time i see that number 33000, it shocks me.
i told my friend about this, too. at first he didn't say anything because he thought i meant 3300 but kept saying 33,000. then he realized i mean 33,000 and was like WHAT??? haha :lol:

[CustomRider13]

they were offered lipo surgeries but only if they were to lose 100+ pounds, which is absolutely impossiblef or them to do because they can't even move in the first place. how depressing.
They should put them on a vegie, fruit and slim fast diet while making them workout as much as they can. I'm sure they will be able to do some sort of exercise.

[dudeitzanna]

so optimistic ;)

[CustomRider13]

so optimistic ;)
haha, well it is possible. They just have to want it and give it all they got. I know it's gotta be harder for them because they haven't practiced much self control but this is something to fight for. If dying and making those who care about them sad isn't enough reason, then they are hopeless.

[dudeitzanna]

yeah. they are hopeless! they did not seem to care about what they were dong to themselves and others around them. all they cared about was getting their food and eating. :[

[CustomRider13]

The thing I don't get is, who's feeding them the amounts of food they are asking for? Are these people friends, relatives or somebody they hired? If they are friends or relatives why are they providing them with this excess amount of food? If I was a relative, I would refuse to give them food that is fattening or high in carbs. Instead, I'd put them on the vegie/fruit and slimfast diet and make them exercise for it. I'm telling you, it'll work! :]

[JesterBOOM]

in order to really see what they're eating, imagine eating 18 cheese pizza pies in a day.

I can do that in 2 weeks, I think.

[snowboardinis4luvers]

ehhh i couldnt imagine living like that!!
where do they get clothes that big..no offense?

33,000 calories a day..i only eat 2,000..AHHHHH!!!

thats alot.:shock:

[dudeitzanna]

the black guy's family cooks for him like 24/7. they do this because if they don't then he'll find another way to get food, and it'll be even more unhealthier fast food stuff. so they cook for him all day. but the thing is, like someone said on this thread, that love is blind. they love him so they do what's making him "happy" and can't really see the damage that they're causing.
the really fat white guy who eats 36,000 calories a day (YES. 36,000! not even 33,000) has a caretaker now who feeds him and changes his diaper (because he can't move) and he supposed eats like chicken salads and stuff but ends up eating a load of other crap.
this other lady's 19 year old son buys her all her food. like the others, the kid just wants to make his mom "happy".
and the other lady just buys food herself. she can walk.

[CustomRider13]

damn. Where do these people get the money to eat that much food? They're odiviously not working since they're lying in bed all day. Somebody needs to educate the family members and tell them what's up. The relatives are gonna regret what they did when something serious happens to them.

[dudeitzanna]

oh yeah. they spend about 20 bucks on chocolate EVERY DAY and like 300 bucks on food or something. i totally forgot how much b/c i watched this last week but it was a crazy number of money for food. O.o

[CustomRider13]

wow, $320 on food and chocolate a day. That's insane. $320 a day is around $9,600 a month and around $115,200 a year. That's 1.15 million in ten years for just food.

[dudeitzanna]

wwoowwwwww

[dudeitzanna]

that's a hell of a lot of money.
we could buy a new mediocre board every single day of the year with that money :[

[nthach]

Like I said, I know this kid who eats at McDonald's no fewer than 2 times a day. Everyday. And he looks like a skinnier Michelin Man.

[CustomRider13]

that's a hell of a lot of money.
we could buy a new mediocre board every single day of the year with that money :[
haha, yeah we can. They would save so much money going on diets. haha.

[CustomRider13]

McDonald's is not even that good. What does he get everyday???

[dudeitzanna]

ewww. haha. every day?? carl's every day or wendy's every day i can understsand, but mcdonald's is just.. crap.

[CustomRider13]

yeah seriously, McDonald's is crap. That kid needs to start going to subway! haha.

[dudeitzanna]

agggh. last time i went to subway, i had the best best sandwich ever. i was swooning over it forever.
does anyone know the yogurt shop pinkberry? i went there today with a friend and i fell in lovee. so simple and yet so good. and non-fat! i had to eat two bowls. actually, i ate three. so i had major cramps after that.
corner-bakery is good too :]

[snowboarding_bear]

subway...eatfresh lol...

what about quiznos?...expensive...but worth it...i got a sub from there for 10 frickin bucks

[ADRsk8boarder]

just go to in-n-out for a burger cause there good and better for u then mc d's

[Proximate Platypus]

when I saw the title of this thread I just laughed, like hah, there's no way that's even possible.
That's definitely pathetic, though. :(

[CustomRider13]

Subway and Quizno's is good. I could eat that everyday.
We don't have Pinkberry's in our area but we do have Corner Bakery.

[dudeitzanna]

that last time i had quizno's, i got their flatbread salad. it was lame.. but the flatbreads were good. got a regular sandwich there once too. wasn't too fond of it and it was too pricey. i'll stick to subway thank you very much :]
we also have a "natural cafe" here. greatt for people who are trying to eat healthy. i love it. but i end up eating cookies and cakes, so not as healthy :]

[CustomRider13]

Hey, it's better then eating at burger places and then eating cookies and cake. haha.
I usually just go to Subway too. There's more of them around and they have good subs.

[DPancoast]

subway...eatfresh lol...

what about quiznos?...expensive...but worth it...i got a sub from there for 10 frickin bucks

When I went to Quiznos, I dug their sandwich. Can't lie, it was awesome. But like you said, it's a little pricey. I wish I could eat there everyday but I just can't swing that $10.

[snowboarding_bear]

yeah its like "oo i want" but ur broke...lol i hate that crap...

im grounded for the next few weeks..so ill b wantin allot and not being able to have... 8 (@)#%@)%@!! lol...

[CustomRider13]

Quizno's is good but it's not worth no $10 for a meal. Subway's is a lot cheaper and just as satisfying. Damn, I could go for some of that right now. Too bad I'm at school til 9:30 pm.

[snowboarding_bear]

we have this little mom n pop place here... "its all good" and holy hell...i love their food...the best i think ever...


not joking

[Proximate Platypus]

$10 for Quizno's?? Here they're like, $5 or $6 for a good sandwich. Are you guys getting the foot longs or something.. haha. :P
I love the jalapenos you can get from Quizno's though. mm..

[CustomRider13]

oh man, you guys know what sub place is good? Tummy Stuffers. I'm not sure if it's a so cal thing or not but man, it is good.

[DPancoast]

$10 for Quizno's?? Here they're like, $5 or $6 for a good sandwich. Are you guys getting the foot longs or something.. haha. :P

Yes....plus a drink and some chips. It adds up...especially with a gatorade...haha..

Can't say I've ever been to tummy stuffers.

[CustomRider13]

I googled Tummy Stuffer last night and they all seem to be in the So Cal area(mainly Orange County). They have a 101 different subs and they are huge.
