'You can\'t believe everything that you hear — especially about your favorite shows. To defend the honor of one of TV\'s most popular foodies, Adam Richman, we\'ve debunked these false facts that everyone believes about Man v. Food. With his infectious enthusiasm, Richman made competitive eating look easy — most of the time, anyway. Based on his attitude alone, it\'s easy to believe the fearless foodie never had to do much more than loosen his belt and tie on a bib to prepare for a competition. But according to an interview with 411mania, Richman actually did quite a bit of preparation for each challenge. The day before a quantity challenge, he would typically eat little or nothing at all. He\'d drink lots of water and club soda to stretch his stomach and keep himself feeling full. Above all, the hungry host would work out, in his words, \"like a beast\" the night before and the morning of a challenge. After a challenge, there was a recovery period. Richman would typically do a cleanse and climb onto a treadmill. While Richman had plenty of enthusiastic fans during his time on the show, he did have his share of critics as well — most famously, the late, great, Anthony Bourdain. According to the LA Times, during his nationwide tour, Close to the Bone, Bourdain slammed Richman and the entire concept of Man v. Food, saying, \"Why did we watch the show? Admit it. You wanted [Richman] to die.\" The notoriously brazen chef and travel host went on to claim that the show is popular in countries like Afghanistan, Iran, and Libya. He added, \"The show confirms their worst suspicions — that Americans are fat, lazy, slothful [and] wasteful.\" Watch the video for more of the false things you believe about Man V. Food. #ManVFood #AdamRichman No prep or recovery | 0:12 Everyone loved Adam | 0:58 Health concerns | 1:36 Lost fair and square | 2:27 Support for Webb | 3:30'
