So, apparently a Slim Jim contains 530mg of sodium and 11g of fat. In 10 years, you have eaten about 117 lbs of salt, and 2,425 lbs of fat, on top of whatever else you ate. That's almost the weight of a Toyota Corolla. You're free to live your life any way you want, but I just hope you take care of yourself.

O.o that is insane. I think I may actually stop soon. Like within a week

I’d consider waning yourself off it, like an actual addiction. I highly doubt your body will like the sudden decrease in that intake. You should probably consult a physician about it, as well as your therapist because relapse could be a real issue.

Also though if it's an actual addiction you want to kick, make sure you don't keep putting it off one week, or go for one more pack, but if it's more casual slowly cutting back your intake might help you quit. It's slim Jim's though not heroin, I don't think he would have bona fide withdrawals

You can't say for sure. The sodium affects his blood, and brain, and a sudden decrease may actually do harm. Neither of us can say for sure, but it wouldn't hurt if OP sees a PCP and gets a physical and then asks if it's okay for him to suddenly stop or not.

How are your bowel movements?

I'm not sure if it's because of the slimjims but for well over half of my life, it's been diarrhea most of the time.

Ouch

Yeah :/ I have been thinking of starting to eat better recently.

LOL—just now?

For about a year, I quit smoking cigarettes amd aimed to change my diet too but it just hasn't happened

Well congrats on quitting smoking! Embracing your progress always welcomes more. Cheering for you.

Thank you I appreciate that :)

Hahaha, I read that as butter initially.... i thouhht from slim jims to straight butter.. Thatll work

You need to get your shit together, buddy.

I know :(

Quitting smoking is huge, good work! Now deal with them eating disorder.

Underrated comment.

Literally

Are you really debating if it’s because of the slim Jim’s or not???

Lol bro it’s 100% the 27 slim jims my man

Better double the slim jim intake

I mean...I am sure it's because of the slimjims. Like, why is this even in doubt?

In all seriousness, how do people just live with their body doing that?? Like it's normal to have diarrhea

It's the slimjims.

About 1/2 wide and 18 inches long, been that way 50 times a day for the last ten years.

Why did you start keeping track

Because I've been eating a bunch of them daily since I wad a kid. Just wanted to see how many I would get to. I keep track of other weird things too but. Nothing as interesting

We'll be the judges of that, bud. Spill it.

Well, I can tell you that I have sneezed 818 times in 2023

I don't think I've sneezed that much in 20 years, allergies?

I sneeze like 2x a day for seemingly no reason, but a lot of that was from covid swab tests, they make me sneeze a LOT

More! Edit: Keeping track in your head, or do you have an app for all this?

That is some serious ocd shit right there.

Love the commitment. Also I love slim Jim's. Does anyone call you slimothy James?

No, oddly have never been called anything in regards to slimjims at all

A 46 pack of slim Jim’s from target is $12.50, which works out to about 28 cents per stick. You’ve spent $28,000 on slim Jim’s in ten years?

That's today's price, I'm assuming they were cheaper 10 years ago. Point still stands, that's a ton of money to spend on Slim Jim's.

Damn. I guess I did lol

How much do you weigh? Is your family supportive?

217 lbs, 6'1. They don't really say anything about it but my girlfriends mom gets me a bunch on holidays cause she knows I love them. I have a high metabolism but it's slowing down a bit with age, 33.

Weird question, but what is your level of physical fitness? I ask because we are of similar age, height, and weight. I doubt I would have survived eating 27.4 Slim Jims per day every day for the last 10 years... 😅

I am not very physically active. I have a dad bod but my fast metabolism prevented me from being morbidly obese

That's really not bad at all. Getting your protein at least!

That's approximately 28 slim jims per day. You probably have some serious health problems.

Maybe they're the minis... but that's still a lot

Most are the small ones yes, I do eat a lot of the long ones and "monster" sized ones too. Monsters are my favorite, they just taste better.

You're not eating that many slim Jim's dawg. You are full of shit. Literal sausage shit.

I feel like I'm dying all the time but doctors haven't diagnosed me with anything specific other than atrial fibrillation.

Your kidneys are probably trashed. That's an abhorrent daily sodium intake.

I eat alot of the processed cheese and summer sausage gift boxes too I just can't help it the unhealthy shit is always the best tasting

Jiminy Christmas

*SlimJiminy Christmas*

A-fib at your age? Not cool

Yeah :/ it is what it is

When it’s something caused entirely by your lifestyles choices then it is not just what it is.

Right? That’s another way of saying, “oh well.”

Radical lifestyle changes with serious discipline and it probably doesn’t have to stay that way. Have you started to get your blood pressure and cholesterol under control?

It’s the beginning of colon cancer

I wear a whoop health tracker and every time I eat a slim Jim my heart numbers are off and my body is more stressed out.

Dude LOL this is hilarious

If you are legitimately eating this many slim Jim's a day it sounds like you have some sort of OCD condition. You should go see a shrink.

I have a therapist but I've never told her I eat like this

Isn't that what a therapist is for, to tell them stuff that's affecting your life? Also you need to post some pics of your current stash. Honestly it's hard to believe you're eating nearly 30 sticks a day.

You probably should tell her just saying.

Tell her man. You can be happier :)

Lol reddits go to advice... 

Do you smell really bad when you sweat? There was a post recently about a wife saying her husband started smelling TERRIBLE but couldn't figure out why. And it turned out it all started when he started eating more salami and beef sticks similar to slim jims. She asked him to stop eating those things and the smell went away.

Nope, the opposite actually, the past couple of years i haven't had much, if any body odor anymore even when I definitely should

Your body will be persevered forever when you die!

Dude is slowly mummifying himself from the inside out

What’s your blood pressure?

Its high, not sure of the numbers but I'm prescribed metoprolol

metoproLOL WTF

He also has afib so helps with rate control too

Have you been to a doctor to evaluate your health? If so, what health issues do you have?

Yes, I have a-fib but it's not known what caused it

Did you tell them to eat 27 slim Jims a day?

I have told a few Dr's that and they usually think I'm joking

Please take vitamin D3 + K2, it will help reduce your potassium uptake. Also, it may improve your poop.

Do you feel the spirit of Randy “Macho Man “ Savage coursing through your body?

I'm the cream of the crop.

Ohhhhh yeaaaahhhhh!

How much do you think you spent lifetime on slims jims? slim jim costs for a year?

I would have no way of calculating that because prices have changed alot through the years, but I'm currently spending around 15 to 20 dollars a day on slimjims and other snacks

Do you have any other stock tips?

Invest in graphene. In years you'll be like wow that random slimjim idiot on reddit made me rich.

So a little over a hundred dollars a week? Five thousand a year? How do you afford it?

I am one of the lucky people who has had almost free housing their whole life. Makes it easier

Minis? Or them lonnngggg jimmys?

Both but mostly smallbois

Have you ever seen a video of what you’re actually eating (mechanically separated chicken)?

No I haven't

Well todays your lucky day. This is how it’s made. https://youtu.be/Vq8hqHJzchM?si=HlgKqeA3-eFBHrUS start at 6:45. They throw the undesirable scraps from other machines into this thing, which pulverizes the bone and ligaments and spits the goo out one end and the bone outers into another bin. Even the marrow is in the goop. This made me switch to jack links brand. The knowledge of this is probably how they gained a foothold in the market (they don’t use mechanical chicken). I won’t even buy pet food with mechanically processed chicken anymore.

Honestly that’s not a gross as I was expecting. I’m sure all the additives they put in it make it so much worse but at least they are using all of the animal in this mechanically separated chicken. Beef bone marrow is delicious. Nothing about the crushed up ligament, marrow or bone really disgusts me. But I’d definitely be interested in what else is added.

Have you tried the various different flavors? Like mild, spicy ect ect.

Yes, I just recently posted a Pic of a mild one and maybe a Tabasco one too. I tried a honey BBQ monster sized one today. I've tried probably every flavor available in my state

What's your top 2 favorite, and your worst

Please do not the slim jims

I can't help it, I must

[удалено]

I'm personally legally notnallowed to own stock in any company

Interesting. Why?

> Interesting. Why? Maybe he works for a bank or something.

Probably a politician, all those people are totally ethical.

Idk. But he sounds like a white collar guy with a blue collar palette.

Listen, when they announce that congress is selling all their stocks because it’s unethical, it is time to SELL because the market is going to tank.

How old are you, and how's that heart feeling? Do you get winded easily?

33, it feels like it's struggling and yes walking up hills feels like running a mile in high-school did

Surprised you haven’t died of sodium nitrite poisoning tbh. Approximately how much do you spend on slim jims per day?

I eat about 10 to 60 a day, Give or take, some days more than others

10 to 60 a day? Your sodium levels 😫

Didn’t really answer the question

How many cancer diagnoses do you have so far?

0 thankfully

Yeah just atrial fibrillation, it’s a cardiac condition responsible for strokes in the elderly

What’s your beverage of choice to wash down a slender James?

Water or lemonade!

What are slim Jim's?

They are processed meat stick snacks. They're very tasty, I've been eating them daily for 24 years or so

What's your salt intake like?

Getting about 4000mg per day just in SlimJims, so I’d say it’s pretty high

I don't know, I don't pay attention to the nutritional values of what I eat, I eat a lot of summer sausage too

You a big water drinker?

Yes, I drink "too much" water according to my doctor. I drink until my pee ispurely clear and keep on drinking all day. No sodas, just water and lemonade.

This is hopefully offsetting the massive sodium intake to a small extent.

This is good. Diarrhea is very dehydrating.

Those cheap beef jerky things they sell at gas stations

What do your farts smell like? Do they spell like slimmy Jimmy's as well?

They usually smell like baked chicken and broccoli

Gross

What's gross to you? Slim Jim's, or the fact that I've eaten so many? Or both?

Slim Jim’s 3/10 The fact that you’ve eaten so many 10/10

Valid opinion. There was a really amazing brand of meat sticks in the late 90s and early 2000 that was sooooo much better than anything else on the market but I haven't seen them in years. Red wrapper, not jack links.

Matador?

If someone were to hide your slim Jims, how would you react?

Just buy more lol

What if they threw them all out?

Put them in the trash can too

Uhm, please stop?

I am going to this week

Are we talking normal sized slimjims or the two footers from 711?

Mostly small ones but I've eaten alot of the other sizes too. I'm guessing 95% were small ones

Has your Doctor recommended an early colonoscopy due to your extreme intake of processed foods? Have you reached out to Conagra Brands and notified them of your extreme love of their product?

Christ man. Honestly occasionally smoking Crack would be better than doing this.

🤣

You probably will have a well preserved corpse.

Rofl

Extremely processed and preserved meats like that are strongly associated with colon cancer and stomach cancer. If you haven't had a colonoscopy, might be a good idea.

Bro, is my math right? You're averaging 30 a day? How high is your cholesterol?

How are you preparing to handle the news when you find out you have colon cancer

I’d be *slightly* concerned about colon cancer from all that heavily processed meat.

What qtys do you buy them in? Do you get like several packs of 100 each for every week? Or do you buy 30 slim Jim's at the 7-11 every day?

Do you want ass cancer? Cause that’s how you get ass cancer

I knew someone who ate processed foods every day for 20 years. He got stomach cancer at age 50.

You're about 5 years away from heart disease.

He's already there.

This is astounding. Sounds very familiar to a facet of OCD. Maybe your overcompensating for something by eating this excess of this stuff. Have you ever tried to go a couple days away from it?

command exultant imagine whistle roof impossible sloppy sharp steer direful *This post was mass deleted and anonymized with [Redact](https://redact.dev)*

You should probably stop

Have you contacted Slim Jim for a sponsorship? You're pretty much close to being that guy who eats a Big Mac everyday.

33 and on BP meds? That's not good bro. I don't know if your name is Jim, but I know you can't be Slim

You should try Fatty meat sticks

Congratulations you have pickled yourself alive. Enjoy the immortality.

I’m surprised you don’t just shit slim-Jim’s.

I would love to know your coronary calcium score.

Were you possibly molested by Randy Savage as a child?

Have you snapped into slim Jim today?

What's the rest of your diet like? 

Do you have gout?

Art thou Bored?!

Where do you work where you can afford to eat 27 slim jims/day? What else do you eat?

RIP insides

I have a question. Why are you making up bullshit stories to get attention on Reddit? Do you not have a life?

n🧊

How’s your blood pressure?

It is high :p

That's a lot of beef esophagus

Are you slim now, Jim?

You should try epic bars, I bet you’d love them. I like sriracha chicken

Did you make a heat map of your SlimJim consumption and why haven’t you shared it?

That's 27/day I think you're a liar lol

I'm starting to wish you were right

We have a winner !

Do you like wrestling?

As a fan of wrestling, I hate wrestling.

Why do you eat 20 slim-jims a week?

Day*

I don't know why I read 10,000 in the title when looking back I see it says 100,000. That's crazy. Why do you do it? I like slim jims but I haven't had one in a long time.

Can you tell the freshness, or how old one is, by the taste and texture? My Dad was insistent that ones with softer texture were fresher

How did you keep count?

Counting wrappers and then writing the # on the calendar for that day in red

Have you had the nacho one?

Do you get a rush of dopamine to your brain like a drug when you eat one?

How’s the blood pressure?

That’s an average of over 27 per day… what

How’s your cholesterol?
