Is it true that if you eat as much as you weigh, then you'll literally explode?

It is impossible b/c your brain will shut down your body sending you into shock. At best (worst), your stomach could actually rip. No explosions. Just guessed on your question b/c you are missing a key word

Is it eat? Well you can't really explode but your stomach would rip and I guess it would really hurt before it ripped.I don't recomend eating your body weight.

I don't think you'd even get close to your body weight in food, you'd most likely puke whenever your stomach got to it's limit.

The stomach distension caused by eating such a large amount of food would trigger a massive muscular spasm in the stomach wall, causing you to vomit up large amounts of partially digested food. This would happen well before you got anywhere near close to not quite eating less than a quarter of your body weight. Consider this. I am 23 years old, fairly muscular and weigh about 155 lbs. If I go to a restaurant I may order a steak of less than 1 lb. Granted the extra food e.g. chips, vegetables and so on may totally weigh more than a pound but I feel full after this. If I carry on to force myself to eat, I will probably begin to feel really full after another of these meals to the point of discomfort. If I have another one, chances are I will throw it up, but as said before, if I continue to eat through bouts of vomiting (how truly disgusting), my stomach would certainly tear. If you have just watched Monty python's Meaning Of Life, it is slightly inaccurate. Plus in my opinion, a 'wafer thin mint' does not go well with steak.
