So after the competition is over, do the contestants vomit to relieve the gastric pressure?
I’m wondering if Impossible foods has done any testing to see what happens when someone eats thirty of their hot dogs? Is there any concern these ingredients might expand more than pork would?
Those three ingredients wouldn't expand, no.
Actually went into a deep dive on food eating for a week or two. The competitors I watched videos about or interviews with claim they don't intentionally make themselves throw up because that primes their gag reflex to be more comfortable with throwing up in general, which obviously you don't want as a competitive eater.
Makes sense.
I cannot imagine how impossible foods plant "meat" could possibly be more toxic than traditional hot dogs, and obviously they conform to the same food production safety standards the FDA sets.
Probably not "toxic" as much as gas-generating. If you've ever made the mistake of eating two impossible whoppers, you rapidly drive all people and animals nearby 50 feet away from you.
I haven't had that particular problem with impossible burgers myself, but it could certainly depend on your GI
Don't get me wrong either, I'd do it again. Just, hilarious how some GI tracts react. And I'm a frequent eater of veggies, legumes, root vegetables.
Definitely. I started doing a bunch of different diets and then stuck with intermittent fasting after all my gas and unpleasant toilet activities went away.
I'm a huge fan of spices and Hot pot and all that, but breakfast, lunch and dinner with buckets of chili oil started to take its toll.
Low carb, high carb more vegetables, More fruit, fruit juices, All had an impact one way or the other, but as soon as I gave myself a 4-hour eating window pretty much every stomach trouble I had flew out the window.
