Video Games Make You Less Hungry - Polidicks

i played civ 5 for 10 hours straight one day i completely forgot about breakfast AND lunch and drinks the only thing i did was shit and piss in that time

[QUOTE=isoulcalibur;44778330]used to have a bmi of 16.3 because i always forgot about food when i was addicted to video games now i have a bmi of 17.8 as opposed to the 18.9 i had like 3 years ago edit: im dumb[/QUOTE] 18.9 is [I]ok[/I] but you should probably eat some more. i used to have something like that a year ago but then i started working out and eating healthier, now i've got about 25 and i feel a lot better.

I can also confirm. The day Rock Band came out years ago I bought and played the shit out of it. It wasn't until sunrise the next morning that my friends and I realized we hadn't ate in nearly a day.

bullshit

I never understood how can over weight people that play video games exist.

I swear they always use Tetris when it comes to doing research on humans and video games.

Nothing really new, and it isn't specific to video games at all. People just didn't say it aloud before, many can confirm this is a thing.

[QUOTE=Thrasher1018;44777906]Who would've guessed that the ultimate weight loss technique would involve sitting on your ass all day.[/QUOTE] You will still get fat because of lack of exercise. You will just fuck up your body with eating less and doing nothing.

this just in: being deeply concentrated on a task reduces your attention to bodily needs WHAT A SHOCK

And I thought I was just too lazy to move

Now, if only every gamer stopped eating dewritos and only drink water instead, they would be even less hungry. Oh, and eating meals at the right hour.

[QUOTE=Suttles;44778799]i played civ 5 for 10 hours straight one day i completely forgot about breakfast AND lunch and drinks the only thing i did was shit and piss in that time[/QUOTE] did you remember to use a toilet rather than going on the spot?

[QUOTE=Combine 177;44779574]I never understood how can over weight people that play video games exist.[/QUOTE] The article makes the weight issues look easy.

If my girlfriend has work on the weekends I always smash video games and often neglect eating. And drinking for that matter, I end up getting headaches because of it

What the hell is this food you guys are talking about? :v:

Give video games to Africans. Problem solved.

This happens for smoking as well, when I'm not sitting behind a PC, I tend to have a fag every 20 minutes, but when I'm playing something on my PC, I could go for about an hour and a half and then go for a quick ciggy.

I'm eating as many squirrel bits as I fucking can why am I hungry!?

[QUOTE=GeneralMoosen;44782814]Give video games to Africans. Problem solved.[/QUOTE] Yea, someone burn the Rust Alpha on DVD like 10.000 times, put them on a plane and drop them over some poor little village in Africa. Repeat until world hunger probem is gone

[QUOTE=Suttles;44778799]i played civ 5 for 10 hours straight one day i completely forgot about breakfast AND lunch and drinks the only thing i did was shit and piss in that time[/QUOTE] casual back when i first played persona 3 and got super immersed in it, i could play for up to 12 hours a day without eating, drinking, needing to go to the toilet or even taking a break at all really

Because most people eat because they're bored.. Ahaha

wow this is a friggin breakthrough here i need to play more so i can get my dream figure

So playing Wii sport is truly a weight loss option?

Oh video games, you're the only sustenance I need. Except Don't Starve really does make me feel hungry :v:

I sort of feel this effect when gaming, but it's far more pronounced when I'm busy coding. I've gone through 12 hour stretches without eating without even realizing it.

Girls used to ask how I stayed so thin. I told them diet and exercise... But that was a bold faced lie. I couldn't bring myself to tell them I just play video games 8 hours a day and forget to eat a lot.
