The Big Stomach King Competition Site
The difference between the Big Stomach King Competition and the Big Stomach Diet
The Big Stomach King Competition is a professional sport and the players are called For gustatory athletes.
The basic difference between the big stomach king competition and the big stomach king diet is that the competition has a time limit, and the contestant who eats the most amount or weight within a limited time can win the big stomach king competition championship. For example, the contestant Molly Schuyer can eat 2 kilograms of steak (boneless) in 3 minutes, or 501 chicken wings in 30 minutes.
How to become a big stomach athlete?
The most convincing explanation is that some people are born to eat well, coupled with their strict special training and eating skills.
Years of professional training
Generally speaking, big stomach athletes have been trained for many years, including stomach volume expansion, upper and lower jaw strength, breathing control, etc. Professional players.
It is scientifically proven that compared with ordinary people, professional athletes with big stomach can expand their stomach many times in a short time to hold a lot of food, and then spend more time digesting the food in the stomach. Because in the competitionMany athletes directly squeeze the swallowed food into the stomach.
Strict weight control
The weight of professional athletes with a big stomach is generally within the normal range , such as Molly, who appeared in the previous article, is 170cm tall and weighs 56.7kg.
This is because the calories that a person can absorb in a short time are limited. In addition, professional athletes pay attention to fitness and fat loss, because if the abdomen accumulates fat, it will restrict the expansion of the stomach Ability.
Healthy diet structure
In the normal life of not participating in the competition, the diet structure of the big stomach king contestant is very healthy.
In addition, the International Federation of Big Stomach Competitions (IFOCE) also pays attention to the potential dangers of this sport, so all regular games organized by IFOCE have detailed rules and regulations and protective measures. According to some data, there was no gastric perforation or rupture of the esophagus in the regular game of the Big Stomach.
Is the stomach of the broadcaster bigger than ours?
Compared with the big stomach king who eats fast and more, eating broadcast anchors can often show amazing appetite. How do broadcasters without professional training do this?
The outer layer of the human stomach wall is called the "muscle layer", which is composed of smooth muscle and has strong flexibility.
The four-layer structure of the stomach from the inner (upper) to the outer (lower)
The stomach volume of a person on an empty stomach is about 50-100ml, and it reaches 1200-1600 after a normal full meal. Ml. Human stomach capacity is basically constant, and there is not much difference between people.
The reason why the anchor can eat 100 burgers, hundreds of sushi, and dozens of bowls of ramen at a time, maybe is not because the stomach capacity of these "big stomach kings" is much larger than that of ordinary people, but just because The elasticity of the stomach is naturally better , every time you can eat 2400~3200ml, reaching the limit of stomach stretch.
After eating 100 pieces of sushi, Kinoshita found that the stomach area is 66 times larger than before eating.
People who eat a lot of food for a long time will have thicker stomach muscles. Peristalsis and emptying will be accelerated. Food enters from the cardia of the stomach and exits from the pylorus of the stomach at the same time. This may also be the reason why they can eat astonishingly at a time.
In short, has no "big stomach" in the world. These so-called "big stomach kings" are just challenging their stomach wall elasticity and tossing their stomach wall muscle . But in any case, the harm to the body is certain.

Pancreatitis and cholecystitis: A large amount of high-fat and high-protein foods into the intestine require the pancreas to secrete a large amount of proteases and lipases, and the hepatobiliary system to provide bile to help digestion, so overeating can easily induce acute pancreatitis, Acute abdomen such as acute cholecystitis.

In other words, watching food and broadcasting makes people happy.
Watching the process of others eating, you can satisfy your own desire to eat, and you don’t have to worry about your body size and health. You will also feel a sense of satisfaction watching the anchor eat the food;
"eat" this The behavior itself can release stress, and watching others eat can also play this role;
Some people are watching, smoothing out the loneliness of eating alone...
However, from the perspective of the spread of food culture, Eat and broadcast is a kind of abnormal food culture . Professor Yang Yuexin from the Chinese Center for Disease Control and Prevention and the Institute of Nutrition and Health reminded that in addition to destroying the anchor’s own body, "Big Stomach Eating Broadcasting" is also a kind of unhealthy food culture infiltration for the public. Binge eating, single food types, partial eclipse, greasy diet, and vomiting behavior after eating are all uncivilized eating behaviors, and also disrespect and waste of food.
