Michael Phelps: Eating Machine
When Michael Phelps retires from competitive swimming, he could very easily have a long outstanding career in competitive eating. Michael Phelps consumes about 12,000 calories a day. The average male eats around 2,000 calories a day, and competitive eating masters like Kobayashi and Joey Chestnut generally eat around 6,000 calories a day. Phelps takes in 6,000 calories more per day then a professional gurgitator? That is very impressive.
PHELPS’ PIG SECRET: HE’S BOY GORGE
Swimming sensation Michael Phelps has an Olympic recipe for success – and it involves eating a staggering 12,000 calories a day.
“Eat, sleep and swim. That’s all I can do,” Phelps, who won two more gold medals today, told NBC when asked what he needs to win medals. “Get some calories into my system and try to recover the best I can.”
By comparison, the average man of the same age needs to ingest about 2,000 calories a day.
Phelps, 23, will swim 17 times over nine days of competition at the Beijing Games – meaning that he will need all the calories he can shovel in his mouth in order to keep his energy levels high.
Phelps’ diet – which involves ingesting 4,000 calories every time he sits down for a meal – resembles that of a reckless overeater rather than an Olympian.
Phelps lends a new spin to the phrase “Breakfast of Champions” by starting off his day by eating three fried-egg sandwiches loaded with cheese, lettuce, tomatoes, fried onions and mayonnaise.
He follows that up with two cups of coffee, a five-egg omelet, a bowl of grits, three slices of French toast topped with powdered sugar and three chocolate-chip pancakes.
At lunch, Phelps gobbles up a pound of enriched pasta and two large ham and cheese sandwiches slathered with mayo on white bread – capping off the meal by chugging about 1,000 calories worth of energy drinks.
For dinner, Phelps really loads up on the carbs – what he needs to give him plenty of energy for his five-hours-a-day, six-days-a-week regimen – with a pound of pasta and an entire pizza.
He washes all that down with another 1,000 calories worth of energy drinks.
Phelps remains on course to at least equal Mark Spitz’s record of seven gold medals won at the 1972 Munich Games.
At these Summer Games, a typical day for Phelps starts with a 5 a.m. wake-up call. Most of his races have taken place between 8 p.m. and 10 p.m. ET when in China – 12 hours ahead of East Coast time.
Rush Limbaugh put a humorous spin on this.
Michael Phelps, American Glutton, One-Man Global Warming Machine
And he is looked upon here as a great inspiration, a source of great American pride. The world is dazzled by this man. But that’s not the Michael Phelps that truly exists. Michael Phelps is the epitome, ladies and gentlemen, of The Ugly American. I found out today what he eats on a daily basis. I know he swims five hours a day and needs a lot of energy. Big producers do.
He’s produced a lot of medals, a lot of records. Big producers do need a lot of energy. But according to Obama and many on the left, Michael Phelps is just a glutton who cares not for the rest of the world. Twelve thousand calories a day Michael Phelps eats! Can I describe a typical day’s diet for Michael Phelps? His breakfast starts with three fried egg sandwiches loaded with cheese, lettuce, tomatoes, fried onions, and mayonnaise. He follows that up, still at breakfast, with two cups of coffee, a five-egg omelet, a bowl of grits, three slices of French toast topped with powdered sugar, and three chocolate chip pancakes. At lunch, this glutton, who cares not for how much of the world’s resources he is using as a single American… Look, folks, you’ve seen the little ChiCom gymnasts. What do they weigh, 38 pounds? A couple of rice cakes, and they’re winning medals, too, and they’re not destroying. They’re not making a big carbon footprint with their rice cakes! They are behaving responsibly, according to Obama, the Lord Messiah. They’re still winning. They don’t have these big people out there. You know, the ChiComs in terms of stature, they’re small. They don’t require much, just a little rice and rice cakes, and that’s it. Look at what our guy is doing. No wonder we’re hated. And I just described breakfast. Let’s go to lunch. At lunch, Michael Phelps “gobbles up a pound of pasta, two large ham-and-cheese sandwiches slathered with mayonnaise on white bread.” I mean not only is this stealing from the rest of the world, it’s not even healthy, correct? He should be eating whole wheat bread and low-fat mayonnaise. But no, no, no, no! He’s going hog wild.
Quote Of The Day: 6-22-2008
“I have a fast fix for energy, a fast fix for the energy prices. There is no instant cure, as we know, for rising energy prices, but as your host, I, El Rushbo, have a plan to get on the right track sooner rather than later. As close to a quick fix as humanly possible. It all starts with our gas stations. We do have gas stations out there. And these gas stations pump regular gas, and they pump premium gas. Some of them pump diesel. On every pump, every pump that distributes regular gas, we post a picture of Harry Reid with the price appearing in his mouth. On every premium pump, we post a picture of Nancy Pelosi with the price upticking in her wonderful smile; that you could drive up to any station and ask for a tankful of Reid or you could ask for a tankful of Pelosi. We would explore, we would drill, we would refine faster than a liberal can attack a Republican. / You gas station guys, you want to turn the profit in your business? Go out and get some pictures of Reid and Pelosi, stick ’em on your pumps, put the price in there. And then when the self-serve people come up just make ’em say they want to fill up with Reid, fill up with Pelosi…” ~ Rush Limbaugh
Quote Of The Day: 6-19-2008
If you want Democrats on board with new drilling, we offer them like 50 cents for every barrel of oil from ANWR and a dime from every barrel of oil that we drill offshore. Sort of like a domestic UN oil-for-food program, we have our oil-for-our-future payola if we just give enough Democrats what they’re used to, graft and bribes, of a small amount per barrel, I’ll bet we can get ’em on board. ~ Rush Limbaugh
Taking Rush Limbaugh’s “Operation Chaos” To a New Level
In case you haven’t heard by now, Rush Limbaugh has launched a Para-military style public campaign in an effort to affect the outcome of the Democratic Party primary.
Rush has urged his listeners to legally switch party affiliations to participate in “Operation Chaos”, designed to get his listeners to vote for Hillary Clinton which serves two purposes. First, it keeps Hillary Clinton in the race or winning in future primaries and second keeps the Democratic Party involved in what can only be described as political chaos.
Well Bruce Walker has raised an interesting question in his latest article that, if it ever happened, would cause total chaos and possibly destroy the party whose symbol is a Jackass.
Why Don’t We All Become Democrats
Rush Limbaugh’s “Operation Chaos” raises an interesting question. The Left has occupied the Democrat Party, which has purchased the souls of large groups of Americans – blacks, Hispanics, feminists – and yet the word “liberal” is passionately rejected by all Democrats. The political parties have been democratized completely: no one can keep anyone from participating completely in the Republican or Democrat parties.
This raises an interesting theoretical question: Why don’t we all simply become Democrats? The Left has smeared the Republican Party with racism so much that any Republican candidate automatically starts with ten percent of the popular vote against him. Add to the black vote a significant share of the Hispanic and Asian vote, which also has been indoctrinated into believing that Republicans are evil, and the natural electoral advantage of just have “Democrat” in front of your name is worth anywhere from fifteen percent to twenty percent of the national vote. It is amazing that Republicans ever win.
If all Republicans became Democrats, then the stigma of being a “Republican” would go away. That would mean that the electoral battles would become primary battles – and not just in the presidential race. Senators, governors, congressmen and state legislators are chosen by primaries. If the whole American electorate were within a single political party, then primaries would be extremely competitive.
The problem for current Democrats in this situation is that Americans overwhelmingly consider themselves to be conservatives, not liberals. This is why no Democrat, even Obama, calls himself a “liberal.” That would mean that conservatives, as Democrats, could advocate conservative policies without fear. No Democrat is going to say “I am a liberal Democrat and my primary opponent is a conservative Democrat” – at least not in the vast majority of the states.
Conservative Democrats who were also religious could have an enormous edge in winning the black and Hispanic vote in Democrat primaries as well. So, two constituencies which have traditionally been alienated from Republicans and conservatives could find common cause with both if the Republicans became, magically, Democrats and if the social conservative principles of these two strongly religious minorities were joined with the conservative “Democrat” candidate.
Moreover, there conservative “Democrats” could run well against snooty white elites like Clinton, Kerry, Kennedy and Dean, who have nothing in common with ordinary Americans except the fact that they are Democrats, and so are presumed to be the friend of the working man or woman. Imagine, for example, how a charismatic conservative like Michael Steele or J.C. Watts could do if running as Democrats against elitist Leftists like Clinton or Kerry.
These sorts of Democrats have proven enormously popular. Zell Miller, for example, is probably the most popular politician in Georgia. Joe Lieberman, although not exactly a conservative, was nevertheless able to win re-election as an “independent Democrat” even after he lost the Democrat primary.
The whole nature of Congress would change as well. If the Democrat caucuses had conservative majorities, then all the leadership positions would be held by conservatives as well. The committee chairmen, the Speakership and all the other coveted positions would be held by conservatives, albeit Democrats. The same would be true for the national party organization. The DNC would start espousing conservative principles. The battles over ideology and policies would all be fought within the Democrat Party and there would be no “Republicans” to blame at all in those battles. What would Leftists do? How could they fight a real battle on policies, when so few people agree with their policies?
Another consequence would be that the rump Republican Party would survive, and that anytime the Left took over the Democrat Party for one election cycle, the Republican Party could have a miraculous rebirth and all the conservative Democrats could switch and vote Republican.
Republicans are a scapegoat for the failures of Democrat policies; they have been for many decades. Perhaps the best way to defang this toxin in politics is for the good guys to take over the Democrat Party and leave the Democrats with the Green Party or the Liberal Party or the Communist Party as their vehicle for political expression. As Operation Chaos succeeds, it is something worth thinking about.
