If we MUST eat a entire bag of Oreos.
Which scenario is better?
It depends on what you want your poop to look like later.
oh i don't plan on pooping.
Do you just let it happen when the time comes?
I miss the spontaneity of my youth.
Eating sugary stuff that sticks in your teeth continuously throughout the day is the worst possible you can do for the teeth.
Binge eating sweets is pretty bad for blood sugar.
So to balance it out eat a third after every meal for max health and enjoyment.
So do a line after you dine?
The answer is to stagger it, rather than risk a sugar crash. Little and often and whenever you like
You're eating those as a treat, not for your health. You probably know the negative impact that sugar and trans fats have, so if you're going to treat yourself, I'd say make sure to make it count.
Do you get more overall pleasure from a little bit of enjoyment throughout the day or from a lot of enjoyment for a short amount of time? Maybe half now and half later or tomorrow? That's how I decide how to eat/do stuff that I enjoy but know can negatively impact my health if I over do it.
If you do want to make it less unhealthy though, try to make sure they're not the only thing in your stomach and rinse your mouth after you're done eating them.
Eat them right before a big, protein heavy meal. The sugar will stimulate insulin production which will help to process more of the protein. And then have a couple for dessert.
Huh, is that why I can't seem to find a non sweet protein powder?
You can buy unflavoured whey concentrate or isolate in bulk for very cheap. I used to use it to make protein pancakes for breakfast all the time.
Nom nom nom.
Edit: I see you're vegan. Not sure I've seen unflavoured vegan ones.
no that's probably because whey tastes absolutely awful so they try to cover up the flavor.
it's usually a synthetic sweetener and I've found plant based protein powders are usually less guilty of it.
I'm vegan anyway, so I go for soy protein! But I'd like an unflavored one to add to my oats and flavour them a different way. First world problem though.
As a Canadian, unfortunately the answer is now to not eat them at all because they are an American product. This breaks my heart because I am the type of person that would eat an entire bag throughout the day :(
What about Canadian off-brand? Is that a thing? Like at Canadamart or Tim Horton's or wherever y'all shop?
Yes that's very on point for the question being asked, thanks.
In a large bowl, combine 750ml of your closest booze and the Oreos. Use a potato masher to create a smooth yet chunky consistency. Best enjoyed naked while binge watching Bojack Horseman.
I only had a bottle of Listerine, but two birds, one stone. No need to go brush after now.
Around here, we just call that "Sunday".
U bastard. U just reminded me I have a KitKat to eat. Do I eat the entire thing or spread it over the day?
All at once so you can repeat it during the entire day.
The package is conveniently divided into breakfast, lunch, and dinner rows.
We call that doing lines around these parts.
Better to not buy dry stale cookies.
This is my eternal struggle, with any type of biscuit.
I try to not eat the whole pack in one day, so eat some then close the pack. But inevitability I go back later and finish the rest!
The struggle is real! Sugar is its own reward, and its own punishment.
Ehhh, I'd say that, on average and for most purposes, spread out is better.
Less of a hit to your system. No big blood sugar spikes, which reduces the worst aspects if swallowing an entire package to the minimum it gets.
That being said, expect digestive issues to linger. You've got a lot of fats, the coloring, and the sugars playing havoc with your guts.
Expect to need a lot of tooth brushing unless you just enjoy having plaque and acid build-up messing with your teeth.
But I'd say that the risks of big spikes in blood sugar are higher than those risks. It could, in the right circumstances, kill you. And the way some of the more recent information regarding the role of sugar in atherosclerosis, and maybe other cardiovascular illness, is looking, every big spike is whittling time off of your heart more than a bunch of little ones will.
I was thinking the opposite. The first one s a huge sugar hit, and every following one.
One of the first things I did when I first moved out from my parents is eat a whole bag of Oreos for breakfast because I could.
It turns your poop black.
Yup :)
I've had to clean up oreo poop lol.
A lot of older patients tend to get a "sweet tooth", and they'll go nuts on cookies and cakes.
Oreo poops aren't the worst poops, but they look bad and are super sticky.

What are the worst poops? Curry night?

The digestive system is not built for boredom.
It works best with lots of changes and irregularities. Single events of such stress are no problem at all (only many repeated events of the same stress are bad). The same goes for a day or two of staying hungry.
Yeah, but it's also not meant to process a giant package of processed fats, levels of sugar we haven't had time to adapt to, or the colorant used that is known to irritate the bowel.
Which is why folks that go on a cookie spree like that end up constipated or loose and crampy. Which, yeah there's some folks that would be able to take a giant hit of junk like that without noticing it, but I've had to clean up the mess left by Oreos when patients would go crazy on them for one reason or another (often dementia, sadly).
No, it isn't going to kill you, or send you to the hospital purely by the digestive side of things, but it can fuck up your day lol.
Also, you're misrepresenting not only what I said, but what the digestive tract is "built" for. It doesn't actually benefit from irregularity of diet. It can handle it, but eating a fairly stable, non irritating diet keeps both the gut flora and the associated hormonal products produced in the intestines at a reliable operation. The more you disturb the system, the less stable the system. When it comes to gut flora and serotonin production in the gut, high sugar intake disrupts in a way that can have lingering effects; anything from a day to a week.
Don't mistake the difference between a varied healthy diet and shoving irritants down the pipes. They aren't the same thing.
Just commenting to say I love this question and the genuine attempts at answers. I'm going to ask a dietitian next chance I get
