If we MUST eat a entire bag of Oreos.
Which scenario is better?
- Eat the entire bag in 30 minutes
- Eat the bag slowly, and evenly throughout a day?
this is the kinda thing the Internet was made for
I’ve solved that problem by buying two bags. One to eat all at once. And one to spread out over the rest of the day.
Technically the entire bag all at once will raise blood sugar higher, causing a bigger spike. The liver can’t deal with that much, so it converts the excess to fat faster than if it is spread out. The bigger problem is making it a habit of surprising your metabolism with huge calorie spikes with starvation in-between. One time isn’t bad enough to be concerned with. Weekly, or even daily will wreck your liver (non alcoholic fatty liver disease or NAFLD is just a couple steps away from cirrhosis)
Also, I’m no doctor nor do I have any background in the medical field. I just have a more progressed version of NAFLD from eating things like Oreos with both hands for forty years.
That make alot of sense. I’m sorry you have NAFLD, is it getting better now?
Zero symptoms. It’s something very common, and usually discovered by coincidence. But I’m down 40 pounds so far. My grandmother died of non-alcoholic cirrhosis. It was horrifying to watch as a teen. Now that I’m in my forties this diagnosis, which is common, seriously scares the hell out of me. So I take it as a good thing that I am using to make lifelong changes. Crossing my fingers. I still want to lose 20-30 pounds. If nothing else I’m saving great money avoiding the convenience food I abused on a daily basis. And I’m getting really into working out and am hoping to get some “gains” in the next couple months.
So the question seems to be answered at this point, but on a related note, does anyone else hate that fucking packaging? It never really seals properly, and accessing the cookies on the outer rows is difficult. If you try to reseal it often and make it last a while they fucking go stale.
Oreo’s have had all their flavor sucked out of them through enshitification—and to make you eat more to feel satisfied.
Go to any grocery store (like TJ’s) and just buy “Sandwich Cookies.” THEY taste like Oreos used to.
(But, you have to eat them fast as they degrade quickly like actual food, something Oreos isn’t.)
