Since eating that ____________ amount of food I have become ____________ .

If you eat a gargantuan (suitable to a giant) amount, you will certainly not become emaciated (thin to the point of starvation). But if you eat a prodigious (unusually enormous) amount, you are very likely to become bilious (sick to the stomach).
