Big Fat Experiment: Participants Paid to Eat Fast Food

Researchers are trying to find out why weight gain can make some people develop metabolic diseases.

[@enemybird]

Getting paid to eat junk food. That's the american dream.

[@enemybird]

***** America is a much more obese country that's my point.

[@enemybird]

Sloth bullshit

[@joeyGalileoHotto]

No, The American Dream is to Live a Middle to Upper Middle Class lifestyle by earning a high paying job, start your own business, get married, have 3 or 4 children, live in a safe neighborhood where the kids get a good public education, and then retire in the Bahamas once they go to college.

[@everythingflo163]

Enemybird​why dont you do some research before calling bs! Obesity is everwhere, stop putting down America

[@everythingflo163]

[@kyle7412]

its not the high calories that worries me, its the empty calories, added sugar and chemicals that worries me

[@quinn2014]

kyle7412 Not to mention all the bad fats.

[@FirstLast-ik3jm]

Stfu

[@afgzee2011]

Lots of ingredients found in mcdonald's in the USA are banned in the UK and other European countries

[@Andreas16375]

Quinn Johnson yeah it’s actually ridiculous how much fat there is in fast food The average mcdonalds burger has 20-40g of fat, And some of their ”deluxe” burgers can go all the way up to 60g 60g fat in ONE burger.. Add fries to that and you’re already sitting at your recommended fat intake for the day, And that’s just from one meal

[@americansniper1641]

Aphexis like the OP said fat and calories isn’t the problem its sugars and carbohydrates like let me mention that if you sit around all day calories are the problem

[@hectorpacheco5154]

id feel like shit after the 3rd meal

[@cocogoatpharmacy]

Same

[@parkjimns]

Hector Pacheco after the first meal for men 😂

[@shinydecidueye37]

[@wisdomtime4708]

[@parkjimns]

[@cupcakesxrushful]

A thousand dollars? make it 70 thousand and I'll do it. if you want someone to damage their body for fast food...pay them a lot more for it.

[@Russenka]

dude, you get free food and at the end they help you lose all the weight. i would do it in a heart bit. getting extra cash (because they all do have regular jobs) for eating bunch of fast food.

[@Zimba9810]

most of those people already eat fast food regularly so not that bad relatively for them

[@IAmLegion420]

it's only one extra 1000cal meal a day. wouldn't say that's destroying your body. Especially since they help you lose the weight. 70k for that is ridiculous.

[@vodkawhisperer3923]

its 2 thousand

[@calvin3448]

Right? Should be at least $5k. University rich as fuck.

[@rapper250]

Im much more concerned with the food quality and added sugar than the calories in fast food.

[@datboi8921]

same

[@nobodyyouknow5225]

rapper250 absolutely. I won't eat at McDonald's or Burger King or other fast food burger joints, because I really don't know where that food is coming from, and if it's natural at all. Freaks me out.

[@PujashreeSharma]

rapper250 I'm worried about the disgusting carbs and grease.

[@BatziiGaming]

rapper250 Calories are what make you a fat slob. I don't know why people act like they're genuinely concerned with micronutrients and quality when they don't even concern themselves with calories.

[@electroviolenceita]

[@joshuaisawesome4610]

Oh well, it tastes good so I"mma keep eating it 😂

[@joshuaisawesome4610]

Yes, I put on a bit of weight because of it, but that's literally it did to me. Don't be afraid of fast food, its tasty and cheap 😊

[@cielconrad137]

I'm so amazed that people gave up their bodies for this. That's a lot of courage

[@MyThoughtzAndOpinionz]

I almost killed myself two years ago. I got into a bad habit of staying up late, eating fast food before and after work, and never exercising. I kept this habit for almost a year. One night, I was sitting in my car with extreme chest pain and anxiety. I was looking up to the stars, telling myself that it must be my time to die. A voice said “ if you go to the grocery store, your pain and anxiety will stop.” That voice was absolutely right.

[@chonkyboy6418]

[@paulod27]

+No Näme Fat piece of shit!

[@hhds113]

+no hassle Calling people fat makes you feel so superior than others huh? Easy to say that behind a monitor. You don't even know this person and you ASSUME they are fat. There's a guy who eat a big mac everyday of his life since the day when the big mac first came out and he was still skinny. So again, just because someone eats junk food doesn't automatically makes them fat. How about think before you type next time.

[@JesusisJesus]

+no hassle - Does that make you feel a boost to your own low self esteem? If you wouldn't say it to someone face to face, then why would you do it anonymously over the internet? Is it because you feel "untouchable", hiding behind your computer? It takes a REAL tough guy to throw insults anonymously across the internet. Does your mummy know that you're using the BIG computer now?

[@PujashreeSharma]

dont do it. its not even real food ffs

[@danielvaldez7234]

I'm the Frenemy Not worth it, food is just food, it's not like you'll always tase it and have it forever unlike your body

[@lisamurphy6344]

It’s for science though. I’m sure a lot of people will benefit from the research. It seems to have a positive result in that it changed the participants eating habits as well. It seems fast food is now off the menu.

[@belto3149]

Thats actually pretty good less than 20 pounds is very easy to lose and it's quick money

As much as I love Fast Food. Doing that for 3 months 24/7 would fricken kill me

[@furious3102]

@Josh Tiger 20 pounds in 1 month, we're talking about Mcdonald's for 3 months no break!!

[@dontdrinkthesoup4783]

I gained 20 pound 1 week just because I ate food and drank sugary drinks but I was exercising so it proves just because your active and are exercising doesn't mean your going to stay in shape it depends on your diet

You get this you get a high five

[@alexanderestk]

I've gained 15 pounds over the last couple of months.. I can definitely feel it in my ankles. Some days I eat normally, some days I eat a stupid amount of junk food and some days I don't eat at all until 10pm.. I gotta get on Jenny Craig or something lol. Seriously though, I'm really trying my best but it doesn't seem like it's ever enough.

It's funny how he was describing all the negatives while still eating a McDonald's meal

[@jessicavogt1690]

When I ate a double cheese burger with small fries at McDonald's I got sick and had a terrible headache, your body shouldn't Be accustomed to the Greese, the key is to eat at home. I eat meat and rice everyday from baker's or somewhere else that we charcoal and it tastes a lot better than a McDonalds hamburger

i cant believe this passed the ethics approval!!!???? or do you not have that in America??

[@JA-fu5yw]

I know I'm late, but where do I sign up?

[@riverwalkhomebuyers]

it's really simple. weight gain itself will rarely ever give you diabetes or hypertension. diabetes comes from eating too much refined sugar, like the sodas. and hypertension is generally from having too much sodium. both of these are heavy in fast food. there are big athletes who eat 10000 calories a day and manage to keep themselves healthy because they control the sugar and salt.

[@afgzee2011]

[@arveenarasu2068]

The conclusion- they gained weight after eating fast food. Duhhhhhhhhh

[@pedrothevenard]

Arveen Arasu the study results are not about gaining weight, the study needs you to gain weight to research what happens after you gained the weight, how more likely you get to have diabetes and other conditions, the weight is controlled and supposed to go up or the study would make no sense.

[@dobattlers]

It would be okay to, in the name of science, just add on the calories each day with healthy food (as long as they lost if afterwards). The fast food thing is so unhealthy you couldn't pay me to do it

I have the best weight loss plan ever. It is called jogging, but don't increase calorie intake. If possible, lower calorie intake. If you eat more calories than you burn off, you gain weight. I eat fast food 2-3 times a week, but I ride my bike so much it is hard for me to get enough calories. Currently, I am 6' 1" (~1.9 m) and about 165 pounds (~75 kg). BMI is about 21.8.

that is very ignorant for you to say that

[@audreywhalen5141]

Bryan Hernandez you know you can get protein from other things than meat, right? I doubt you’ve ever eaten them, but nuts are delicious, healthy, and they have protein. There’s a few others, but don’t tell a healthy person who doesn’t want to force their diet into you to eat meat. A small portion (actually less than a quarter of your plate) is healthy for a human, but that’s only for protein, and not more because you’ll gain weight otherwise. I recommend you stop eating fast food everyday and eat some vegetables. I still eat meat, but I love fruits and vegetables even more, and if cows didn’t exist I would be vegetarian.
