The Effect Of Steroids On Athleticism - 916 Words

How Popular or Well-Known Food Chains Alter the Body It took a while for me to decide on what I was going to do my project on. My top three choices were: to research the effect of steroids on athleticism, how popular or well known food chains alter the body, and how playing sports impact your physical health later in life. Finally, after weeks of debating my options, the topic I chose to do my personal project on was, â€Å"How Popular or Well-Known Food Chains Alter the Body.† After picking my subject I had to determine which restaurants I was going to do research on. My plan is to purchase something off the menu from a number of fast food places and record how they modify my daily and extra curricular performance.

I ate the entire burger, but not long afterwards did I experience multiple odd side effects. My stomach started to bubb le instantly and I had to use the restroom constantly. These symptoms lasted for roughly 30 minutes. During that time I had an excessive headache and even later my head continued to throb. Despite all the pain, I felt really tired and probably would have fallen asleep if it was not for the sharp discomforts that stung the muscles across my body. I could barely lift 115 pounds and squat lift 125 pounds. Struggling to do that while having eaten a burger from McDonalds was a very poor decision. I was so sore that I couldn’t lift anything heavier than my hand for a whole week. My next place of business was Burger King. I ordered the same item from here as well, a cheeseburger. Half an hour into my first bite I felt like throwing up. Following my stomach pains, nausea, and desire to vomit my mood was gloomy. I didn’t feel like speaking to anyone or doing anything. I even tried to play basketball, but began to feel extremely drowsy. Additionally, while I was attempting to play I was short of breath. It was almost like I was out of shape, which cannot be the case, because I regularly engage in sports. Nevertheless, post eating Burger King I could only last through one game of basketball.
