OT: Is Burger King Killing It?

[JMick]

Yeah but one of them tastes great and the other should be dumped directly in the toilet.

Like I said, haven't had Popeyes yet so can't comment on quality. My current cheat meals are Chinese food and alcohol. Name a better duo, I'll wait.

 

[Rocktheworld]

No. 100 calories of regular sugar coke is the same as 100 calories of orange juice. Juice is terrible

Wrong

Naturally-occurring Glucose and highly-processed Fructose are processed and stored differently

Juice is terrible if you do it like Steve Jobs and don't take adequate fiber to compensate for insulin production. Soda is terrible period.

 

[JMick]

He reviewed water once and it got over a million views.

It’s him, not the food.

It was meant in jest. It's all him

 

[JMick]

Wrong

Wrong (given context). I get into this argument all the time and the science doesn't support this for weight loss. I can get any overweight person in here on a fast food and sugar diet to lose 10lbs in 30 days and it won't matter if they're drinking coca cola or orange juice.

Pizza and tacos. You got the alcohol part right though.

Calories in VS. Calories out. It's really that simple. People always want to dig deeper into the reason they're fat as ish but that's the only real reason.

I can't eat KFC. it's the only fast food that really bothers me. I'm hoping popeyes is a different story but when I eat it I'm going to make sure I don't have to be anywhere after lol

I have a cast iron stomach but for some reason every time I've had KFC I've had a toilet horror show afterwards. It's a shame because it is tasty food to enjoy once in a while.

All I can do is suggest you look in to how each are metabolized by the body.

 

[JMick]

Eh idk about tacos. Pizza is a strong argument though. A couple McDonald's mcdoubles after a night out are fire though. My hangover cure in college was a mcdouble and a Powerade. Always felt better after

I have literally researched the hell out of this because of one of my friends lol. As far as weight loss goes, it's just calories in and calories out. The source does not matter. The only thing I've found that effects it is alcohol because your body spends time breaking it down instead of burning calories. Did you see the piece on the Twinkie diet?

 

[HuskyHawk]

what should I order if I go?

Red Beans and rice.

Tacos in Chicago>>tacos in Connecticut.

College was OG Four Loko/PBR Za then Ben and Jerry's. Lift in the morning sweat out the toxins and bingo bango. I got married pretty quickly after college and thank god too because that combo every weekend for much longer would have put me in the dirt by now.

I've seen how fructose is broken down by the liver (just like alcohol as you mentioned, speaking of extra ancillary metabolic processes) and excess is stored purely as fat; while glucose is highly versatile and is stored throughout the body's tissues to be used more efficiently for energy

Sure someone can do some whacko short-term diet and lose lbs on the scale but that person is objectively less healthy

 

[nomar]

Noob.

Arbys overhauled their entire menu and food service model in 2011. So you have no frame of reference.

Also I too very much enjoyed a Whopper in the day, although I would tell them to hold the ketchup (have it your way at Burger King)

But if it's been since 05 you will be profoundly disappointed for picking one up now. Not same. Sucks.

This is a flatly incorrect use of "noob." It's actually the reverse, no?

They've shown that in terms of health, food intake is almost irrelevant for the average person. You're better off at 160 eating Twinkies than 200 eating a balanced diet

What???

 

[Rocktheworld]

So 160 calories of Twinkies is now, broadly speaking, healthier in the long term than 200 calories of apples and broccoli

lol way to disqualify yourself from any future discussion on nutrition

should have said pounds. You're better off weighing 160 eating twinkies than at 200lbs eating a balanced diet

 

[Rocktheworld]

should have said pounds. You're better off weighing 160 eating twinkies than at 200lbs eating a balanced diet

So why don't we all just eat Twinkies? Why do the entire medical and dietary fields of science recommend a balanced diet and (literally) a few outliers see no problem with consuming a diet where Twinkies are a staple?

Do you have any sense of how intrinsically crazy these statements you've been making sound?

 

[superjohn]

Come on, that's a ridiculous statement.

 

[Towney007]

The Whopper is still a fantastic burger and people that don't think that are bad and wrong.

I will find and fight everyone who thinks my opinion is bad. Because you are bad.

Nope only Arby's noobs don't know about the game change.

 

[August_West]

I absolutely love that kid's reviews. He's hilarious

We exchange private messages. For like 2 years.

Still using it wrong.

lol what really? how'd that come about?

Lol noob. Do you even pork belly, bro?


If no then you are an Arby's noob. I don't care if you ate a Beef n' cheddar in 1981.

 

[August_West]

lol what really? how'd that come about?

I was a fan and then started suggesting things to review.

 

[Rocktheworld]

It's actually @JMick

 

[August_West]

Jmick, superjohn , and rock killing each other ITT.

Brings a tear to my eye with old school cesspool nostalgia.
