That's 13 1/2 pounds of steak alone. Heck, I probably couldn't eat that much steak in one month.

I would gain weight just looking at that food.
How is she eating like this and stays at 120 lb?

. . .work out like maniacs to keep their metabolism super high. The japanese guy, Kobyashi, only weighs something like 140, and he has 18" upper arms, and 30 inch thighs. (His thighs are bigger than his waist.)

That seems to be the secret for most of these folks. Burn TONS of calories every day, then gorge in an event.

The best competitive eaters stay in shape and exercise like crazy. I know one of the winners of Wing Bowl (the wings eating competition held right before the Super Bowl here in Philadelphia) was this woman who was only like 98 pounds. I think this woman has also won Wing Bowl. Competitive Eating is one of the few sports where Men and Women compete as equals.

How so?

When I was there, having a regular sized meal, a Canadian guy decided to take the challenge. If you can eat a 72 oz steak
with a football sized baked potato and a salad in an hour or less, you get it for free. Otherwise it's about $40.00.
He was seated at a table on a raised platform in the center of the restaurant and an hourglass was timing him.
People cheered him on as he plowed through his meal, but gradually slowed and looked uncomfortable. He failed.
There is a giant rocking chair as you first come in and I had my picture taken in it, looking like a baby.

That's a real woman right there.

Stuff is like pouring Spackle into your innards.

...was whatever figure I'd read years ago about how much undigested red meat the average meat-eater has in their system when they die. That's ANOTHER record this woman is in the process of setting.

OK I am a big lady, but even just the three shrimp cocktails would have me belching like a sailor and swearing off food until the next day.

Competitive eating is gluttony on steroids. Period.

I am thoroughly disgusted.

You'd think a top ranked competitive eater would be someone who is this giant size overweight person and a few of them are. But the best are actually very healthy and athletically built. I've read a few actually follow vegetarian diets when not in competition. It really is down to how you train your stomach for the day of eating since the stomach is a muscle.

And the faster you do it the better because taking longer would give time for feeling of fullness to reach you making it harder to keep eating.

And it usually takes about 20 minutes for the stomach to tell the brain 'I'm full'
