There is a clip from a Japanese TV show still available on KZbin having Gal Sone, one of the most popular competitive eaters in Japan, x-ray her stomach after eating a lot of food. It showed her full stomach expanded 15 times her empty stomach size.

You don't need to test them to know that it's incredibly unhealthy. Every aspect of what they do have been studied endlessly individually and are well established to be disastrous for your health. How would putting all of those unhealthy habits into practice at the same time somehow magically make them not unhealthy anymore?

This documentary is a bit old, i follow both Leah and Beard and they have millions of followers now.

Exercising excessively and/or fasting after a huge binge is a form of bulimia called "non purging bulimia" All of them had similar backgrounds, bullied for being overweight when they were younger and work out obsessively to keep the weight off. They may be physically fit but mentally there's issues there.

[@nancybeveridgetaylor3256]

I had active non purging bulimia in my 30's. I looked extremely physically fit as i ran 1/2 marathons competitively, did team rowing and was a weight lifter. I hid my binging. My binges looked a LOT like their competitive eating. I could binge 10,000 calories easily in one sitting. Then fast and limit my intake until the binge took over again. At the time I weighed 130 pounds. I weigh 130 pounds now, but it is 30 years later and post a lot of therapy and treatment. I no longer binge. And at 62 years old, my physical activity and food intake is reasonable. All of these "competative" eaters seem to have past weight and body image issues.

[@aleenaprasannan2146]

The most concerning of all this might actually be less apparent- the extend to which they would need to exercise. People shouldn't delude themselves into thinking that too much exercise is okay. There are two kinds of people who the get heart attacks, obese people and high performance athletes. Sudden cardiac death us the most common medical cause of death in athletes.

Why does everything need to be classed a “sport”. Can’t the category be competition? Spelling can be competitive but it’s not a sport.

[@mathewbayley]

I agree. Sport: n. “An activity involving physical exertion and skill that is governed by a set of rules or customs and often undertaken competitively.” I think physical exertion means more than moving food from the table to your face.

[@13thCharacter]

Haven't heard of the other two, but Beard is someone I subscribe to. What's lost is the spirit of his videos. He tends to focus on the food and the place a lot more, talks and banters with the staff and customers, and just generally focuses on creating an entertaining, funny, high quality video. Somehow it actually makes me hungry watching it, which I can't say the same thing for the scenes in this.

Your son will become more secure as an adult if he knows he is good enough for his father. Be strict and raise him up to be a better father than you are let him learn from your mistakes and teach him how important respect is for us men but do it lovingly. Remember that all he wants is your approval. It’s so much easier to correct bad behavior if your son knows that whatever mistakes he makes you will never stop loving him. Try it and come back to me if you still disagree. Reading the Bible on what it says about how to raise sons could also be helpful. A lot of wisdom in that book my friend. Did not mean to offend you but there’s a difference between being what you call soft and actually you giving your kid a hug once in a while. God bless from Norway Edit If you raise him with the principle of love and respect he will surely see you as his hero and father. Fear of your grandfather like that is not normal friend. Treat him as your son, not your work buddy.

[@sovietmeow7013]

IMHO the one major thing lacking in the young man's, Kyle, getting only just near Adam's champion position is his table manners. Adam makes apologies for getting any food on his face, and beard, and is always using serviettes to keep clean. Manners and grace go a long way to make a winner. Along with eating a huge amount of food.

I cannot stand to see all of that chewing and seeing all of that food in their mouths is gross. I had to take my eyes off the screen a few times. I concede that with the nature of the documentary, people should expect to see people chewing. I would not want to be filmed chewing like that. The amount of food they consume in such a short time span is probably not that great. They do not seem to be ignorant about the impact that their actions have upon their bodies.

Teeth and saliva are part of the digestive system. It is recommended to chew food about 32 times to properly masticate it, preparing it for the stomach.

[@23nacho23]

But who actually does that, not many. Even if you deliberately chew, trying to chew every bite 32 times is not easy. But I agree that that is the proper and healthy way to eat. It breaks down the food properly with the chewing, saliva generation, and stomach acids. It also helps control your portions as it takes longer allowing you to feel fuller than you are as well as your jaw getting tired so you just don’t eat those massive meals.

Some people have actually died from their stomachs exploding. Apparently binge/purge people stretch their stomachs so frequently that they create scar tissue which causes the stomach to be less pliable, so eventually as they continue over-expanding it, it can't stretch as much anymore so just tears. So yeah, people have died from their stomachs exploding from too much food.

I remember the first time watching one of his videos (the Bare Grills one) I thought "there is absolutely no way a human stomach can hold that much food". I still cannot fathom how this is possible. I find this sport quite funny to be honest. This video wasn't meant to be funny but I laughed all the way through thinking "this is absolutely ridiculous". To the eaters I'd say this. I personally believe this is a rather disturbing sport, but I genuinely respect the willpower, determination and sheer grit they have!
