Thoughts on gorging

I laughed so hard after comedian Louis C.K. described his bad eating habits: “The meal is not over when I’m full! The meal is over when I hate myself.” Haven’t we all been there?

Not too long after that, I watched the L.A. Beast chug six bottles of syrup. Check it out:

For your reference, each bottle has 2,520 calories, 624 grams of carbs and 1,440 mg of sodium. So he actually consumed 15,120 calories–not 7,000 as he said–in about two minutes. L.A. Beast then joked that he would have to go to the hospital. He’s not too far from the the need.

A couple years ago, two ABC News reporters ate 6,190 calories in one meal to see what would happen to their bodies. The doctors showed how their arteries narrowed right after the meal and continued that way for six hours. Of course, eating like this regularly can cause heart attacks.

Meanwhile, Fit Watch says that a sudden spike in your blood sugar levels can result in the loss of lean body mass (muscle), and that overeating increases the size of your fat cells.

So basically, gorging yourself in one sitting is really bad for you. At least binge drinking is okay, right?
