so my gym has individual tv's on all the cardio equipment and i constantly see people watching food network

i'm not the only one who thinks this is dumb right?

i mean the only thing i can think is that they are showing themselves what htey can eat if they work hard, but almost nothing on the FN is stuff you should eat when trying to get in shape

seems like it would just make you hungry while you work out

6/9/2009 10:00:34 PM

my mom watches food network and it pisses me off

6/9/2009 10:01:10 PM

its incentive

like "holy jeez I have to run 14 miles to eat that Paula Deen chicken fried steak tonight"

6/9/2009 10:05:43 PM

the food network will be the first out the door when the Party deems it unhealthy. Will be replaced with the Five Minutes Hate channel intersplicing pictures of holocaust victims and cakes

6/9/2009 10:07:01 PM

i hate seeing that fat ass rachel ray

6/9/2009 10:07:22 PM

which gym do you go to?

6/9/2009 10:08:40 PM

i'm watching the food network right now

i just watched ace of cakes. i like that show. SO WHATEV.

6/9/2009 10:08:45 PM

because there are no shows on the food network about healthy/low fat/clean eating that would appeal to people concerned about their health

6/9/2009 10:09:32 PM

because eating healthy means bland? because getting in shape means you can't enjoy food?


Although I do admit that seeing some fat tub of lard drooling over paula deans butter food would make me lol

6/9/2009 10:11:14 PM

Ghrelin stimulates growth hormone secretion, so they may be on to something. If they can resist the urge to gorge on junk food after doing cardio, their body will shed fat quicker and be predisposed to burn off gut fat.

6/9/2009 10:19:11 PM

I like to watch paula deen and the butter buddies at the gym.
Then again, I work out 4 hours per day, so I can eat lard.

6/9/2009 10:36:25 PM

food porn

6/9/2009 10:37:08 PM

Paula Dean showed me how to wrap my protein shake in bacon, batter it with creatine, and deep fry it.

6/9/2009 10:38:56 PM

you forgot the butta

6/9/2009 10:40:47 PM

i don't even like paula dean. i like unwrapped. and ace of cakes. and throwdown with bobby flay.

luckily i don't even really care for cake so watching the show doesn't really make me hongry for cake.

6/9/2009 10:41:27 PM

watching Ace of Cakes or any of the Challenges that involve cake makes me NOT want cake. after watching them play with it for 30-60 min, the thought of eating it is

if you're in shape and live a healthy lifestyle, you can eat anything you want

everything in moderation, my friend

6/9/2009 10:44:06 PM

^^ yea, exactly! i just think what they do with it is cool. but yea playing around with it for hours/days is kinda yick. but they do make some neato things.

6/9/2009 10:45:03 PM

My favorite paula deen dish is the ladies' brunch sandwich. It's a burger topped with bacon between two doughnuts. Best way to get your carbs and protein after a workout.

Mmmmmmmmm

6/9/2009 10:45:49 PM

^^ yep! i love watching them

6/9/2009 10:47:28 PM

Food Network is the shit
Tyler's ultimate
Good Eats
Ace of Cakes
Giada

Ellie krieger does healthy stuff

clean eating???

6/9/2009 10:53:34 PM

there is this one show that comes on another channel. maybe discovery or something. get fresh with sarah snow. i like that one.

6/9/2009 10:55:50 PM

Why would you watch healthy food porn? The point of food network is to cringe at the nasty shit that paula deen and rachel ray concoct. Those two are hilarious! EVOO, bitches!!!


And I like to watch Top Chef at the gym so I can stare at padma's fine ass. It's great motivation to get in shape.

6/9/2009 10:56:38 PM

get fresh comes on Discovery Health

6/9/2009 10:56:57 PM

paula dean:butter :: rachel ray:EVOO

HARDLY a paula deen dish

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Luther_Burger
the snopes page even reference the Fat Homer Simpsons ep!


and I like to watch padma when I work out too, but for diff reasons.

And if being hungry makes you burn more fat then I must burn mad fat at the gym b/c my metabolism is so fucked that I almost go to the gym hungry. At the end of the work day I'm always throwing food in my mouth so that I don't pass out halfway through my workout.

6/9/2009 11:11:57 PM

I think I watch padma for the same reason you do. I'd do her!

6/9/2009 11:15:29 PM

bow chicca

haha

but I wouldn't do her, I just want to be able to fit into her dresses.

"which gym do you go to?"

club performax for now, why?



and going completely off topic, but using the Luther Burger as a transition, I had a burger in Greenville that was topped with collards and a Fried Egg.

just curious. the gym i go to has the individual TVs on the cardio machines as well.

6/9/2009 11:24:39 PM

weird

6/9/2009 11:25:30 PM

as far as i know, my gym is the only gym in the burlington area that has the individual TVs

6/9/2009 11:29:48 PM

Rob, you're just a lardass if you can't fit in her dresses.

6/9/2009 11:31:13 PM

^^crazy stuff


^is this the appropriate time to go back to the original joke and say forget about the dresses, i really just want to get into her pants?

b/c if it is appropriate, i would like to make that joke

6/9/2009 11:34:08 PM

While her pants are quite nice, I'd prefer to try her tuna taco. This thread is about food, not fashion, right?

6/9/2009 11:36:16 PM

if only life were a zero sum game
