@@effkay3691 There is no way you just said "too messy" when referring to competitive eating... they literally go hand in hand with each other.. It's like saying to someone "Go take a shower, but don't get wet." 🤦♂
There is a clip from a Japanese TV show still available on UA-cam 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.
they purge afterwards, so i assume the damage is to the esophagus and nasal areas. (look at joel hansen as an example of someone who messed up their nasals from purging)
Joel Hansen is probably the best. He always goes at a steady pace and keeps things clean and casual and talks throughout. Plus the guy literally never fails, he's on a different level.
adam may not be the world's fastest eater but he is by far the funniest, smartest and most likeable guy in the comp. eater area and the amount of his yt-subs really shows this fact. and he's still a friggin beast ;-)
This was more about following these three eaters and not how harmful it is. It would be really interesting to have do more of a real medical eval. with imaging, blood tests before and after to see how these people are able to do what they do and how it really affects them.
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?
My question was not about how unhealthy this was.. stay on topic ... it was about HOW were they able to do this. That was what I was commenting on. @@Rowgue51
This video title is misleading. I was interested in the medical science. This video is mainly about the one british girl and beard and Kyle. Nothing to do with what the title says.
This documentary is a bit old, i follow both Leah and Beard and they have millions of followers now. Also it is really important to note that both Leah & Beard follow a very healthy and calorie restricted diet when they are not doing competitions. They even fast a few days (no food), hence why they are so slim.
@@geoffswoman yeah He’s fun to watch. I just wonder how bad it is to do this all the time…it’s has to not be that good for you even if you watch what you eat and work out after all that stuff you ate..who knows I’m not a health expert lol
Adam is something beyond eating! He is a star alone with incredible clips. Nice guy and always with a splendid narrative throughout his videos, praising his food first, as a true gentleman. The rest is history....
They are not dangerous if you know what you're doing. Randy Santel has been doing it for 12 years and he's fit and healthy. Adam is fit and healthy and so is Leah. They don't eat like this every day.
When extraterrestrials will investigate the causes of why human civilzation collapsed and destroyed itself, they will find some of these causes in these kinds of videos.
It would be very interesting follow these people's health (digestion/gastrointestinal problems/dysbiosis/gut flora imbalances/cardiovascular issue) overtime. I would be glad to see a deeper medical check out in 2 to 10 years.
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.
at least you guys are consuming for a contest. Mukbangers are just doing it in their living rooms for UA-cam subscribers with microphones in their ears to pick up every crunch and smack. One dude has 24.7 million subscribers. that's unbelievable.
This is so stupid, but why am I so proud that Leah won?! I feel like I’m watching my best friend compete in the Olympics or something. I don’t even follow this girl.
I feel like she could benefit from therapy. Adam is happy and enjoys the food. The other two seem obsessed, don't enjoy the food a and Kyle is very messy.
It all depends, there are 2 types of eating challenges. Being the fastest or eating the most. Fast eaters are usually alot sloppier then big eaters. It also tends to get allt more sloppy when being in a competition with others.
Leah is just beyond amazing!! I had the same body type growing up and weightlifting is the answer. More muscle, means more calories that burn at rest. If you like to eat, get increase muscle mass. It’s literally that simple. Leah is an excellent competitive eater and a driven winner. I will pull for her every single time!
The winner of the oyster eating contest is unreal. 528 oysters in 8minutes. He probably specializes in that area. I wonder how he does in other eating challenges
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.
I lol’d at the old guy at the end with the “back in my day” stuff. 😂😂 We were walking 5 miles, both ways in blizzards, to speed eat things that hadn’t been invented yet!!
Adam comes off looking like the bad guy in this documentary but his UA-cam channel tells a different story. Top Man, keep up the great content beard 👍🏻
Maybe that's because his youtube channel is edited by him so obviously he's not gonna post things that make him look like a douche. He seemed pretty cocky to me.
bit sad knowing kyle idolizes adam and adam slated him instead of encouraging him to follow his aspirations. those of which were probably obtained by watching his hero :/
he didnt slate him at all, he just said kyle isnt at the same level as him, which is absolutely fair since he accomplished more. Im sure that when kyle gets to his level he'll accept him
I like to savor every last bite of almost everything I eat, so watching these *things* eating like that makes me wonder if they can even taste their food.
She says when she eats the burrito that if she allows herself to see/smell or taste it can put her off her goal. So no, I don't think they let themselves taste it. It's not even food to them anymore.
It's just like a sprinter trying to finish his race as fast as possible , there's no other thoughts . At this point I feel that these guys may even eat stuff like cardboard and rocks
BeardMeatsFood is such a good guy. He’s easily one of my favorite UA-camrs, not because of what he does, but because of his personality. My dad even likes him and I didn’t even show his channel to him, he found it on his own!
@olsim1730 Probably, different accounts and devices, but occasionally the same IP address. Either way, he still clicked on it. Guess the algo isn’t as bad as people think it is.
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.
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.
Who wrote this script ? Adam and Leah are far from being rivals. They have two very different eating styles. While Leah can eat quantity she mostly goes for speed records
Beard is currently eating his words.... because Kyle has wooped him on every challenge they have done... beard pretending he doesn't know him...ha ha ha
Yeah Kyle most likely can eat the most out of the all of them…Leah..she is definitely the fastest out of the 3 and can put a lot down. Beard…idk lol he’s pretty good but I think he’s not as good as some.
He doesn't behave like this anymore, we all mature and our personalities change slightly. We also don't know how the producers of the programme asked him to behave, it happens quite often on reality tv shows.
I’m going to guess the producers of this video either asked him to act like that or edited it in such a way as to make him look arrogant. He seems very caring and humble on his own channel. I love seeing him with his sister.
@@kjragg1099 that what producers tell them to do to make the video more dramatic and ‘enticing’ to watch😂 if he was this arrogant his videos would be very diffrent and portrayed him as this video did💀
To enjoy anything in the hellscape of western culture, one must abandon all moral judgements. Everything we consume under capitalism depends on the suffering of others, usually far removed from sight. Currently, 1 in 7 children in the US are food insecure but you won't see those stats alongside coverage of an eating competition.
The pain in BeardmeetsFood's Adam voice when talking about his father is something deeply troubling about todays world, that a father has to be like that is horrible. We as fathers need to love our sons, and we have to show them they are loved and good enough... So sorry for you Adam, that is not how a father is supposed to act.
@@pinkeye6803And yet, Adam and his sister fundraise for the UK Stroke Association, as it was a stroke that claimed the life of their dad. So even if the relationship between father and son might not have been the most ideal, the son still honours his father. It's a good thing to see.
@@bobbyvandyke143 I am so sorry for you. Regarding your grandfather. There might’ve been some physical abuse issues in his past then. You didn’t have the best upbringing I’m afraid and would be well served to work that out before having kids on your own. You’ll understand when you hold your newborn baby in your arms. No problem being loving and disciplined in decipling your child at the same time.
@@rekleif I have kids and thats just how men are supposed to be. My whole family is like that and most of the men we know also. Soft men raise soft men.
@@bobbyvandyke143 No it’s not. You treat your son differently than your buddy. What makes you believe that’s a good thing? 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.
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.
No matter what they say, it has to have horrible long-term effects on kidneys, liver, pancreas, gall bladder, heart, stomach, intestines, bowels, and bladder. It is just not healthy, no matter how much you work out, healthy eating at times.
He sounded bitter. No big deal. We see a lot of the older athletes talk the same way about current athletes. There’s definite jealousy there, nitpicking on a point of cleanliness. Some people are so petty.
I don't know how Matt Stonie isn't dead. Dude can literally eat 12.5lbs of food. His videos are wild and kinda terrifying. Sometimes I check his channel just to see if he's still alive...
Dirty secrets of stonies types of videos is that he purges directly after the last bite or for heat challenges there are drops you can take to numb capsaicin taste buds
I don’t know about now but I still watch his videos but when I got to meet beard a few years ago after a challenge in a place called Warrington and in person he seems like one of the most genuinely nice people I’ve met. We spent a while talking to each other about music
The video provides valuable insights into the world of competitive eating, highlighting the dedication, skill, and challenges faced by participants. It sheds light on the health concerns while celebrating the passion and achievements of individuals like Leah and Adam. I'm grateful for the opportunity to learn about this unique subculture and the stories of its participants.
@@ampa4989 That's not my point. It's an obscene amount of food. There's countries with food shortages and these people stuff their faces. I couldn't care less if there's more dangerous activities. Young people are growing up wanting to be these people. I can't decide if the stupidity or moral issue is worse.
@@twistedpreacher2455 But you see how thin these guys are. It's not an obscene amount of food because they obviously need those calories. They'd have gotten it this way or eating three square meals. There was no food wastage. And anyway, I don't like the argument that there are people starving in the world. We, all of us, waste food all the time. And we overeat all the time. It's just part of being affluent and short on time. And there are so many problems so much worse and more widespread than food shortage in the world. We don't care about any of that. So why single out food shortage even though it is limited to a handful of regions just because we can't be bothered to even be bothered about other problems? I don't find competitive eating any less moral than gymnastics or marathon running. Not my thing but nothing inherently wrong with it.
@@ampa4989 They don't need 10,000 calories and accepting that we are all a bit like this is shortsighted. It may not be the worst problem in the world but imo it is immoral and glorifies an incredibly narcacistic and toxic relationship with food.
eating those large quantities in a ahort time is going to stretch the stomach & actually put pressure againat his other internal organs,they dont even think about how it shifts things around in his abdomen at the time & could push against the heart & any major arteries.
I've been following Andy for quite some time and just discovered Leah a few months ago. Thanking the algorithm for this video. It's fun to watch Leah unseat Adam at #1 in some restaurants' challenges.
they all think they are now healthy after having issues with food, but really they all still have an unhealthy relationship with food, they went from one end of the spectrum to the other.
Actually, Beard was an overweight kid, then became too thin. Put the weight back on in a healthy way as a bodybuilder: lots of small, high protein meals, etc. Then he got tired of food ruling his life and became a personal trainer. He's still sculpted, just not jacked. He does OMAD a lot, I think, eats lots of salads on off days to compensate for these calories. So he's cognizant of his relationship with food. Don't know the other two.
Leah making the older dude proud with her clean bites. It is definitely cooler to watch someone eat quickly without bare palming their food like a toddler. lol. awesome watch though :)
Adam, you made your dad proud because you were in Nathan's hot dog contest on ESPN. Beard is totally huge, Leah is totally huge, Kyle is absolutely on his way to being huge. **Kyle is at 52 thousand subscribers currently on March 31 2022, which is no number to scoff at! Let's get down to the real stuff tough, 19:30 WHAT IN THE FUCC WHY THE NOISES?????
Yeah he’s pathetic. You could tell he knew exactly who Kyle was, and asking for a photograph first was just his way of trying to say Kyle was a nobody. He should know better as a supposed grown man. And don’t even get me started on that revolting beard 🤮
47 minutes video Title-How harmful is competitive eating Just a few minutes of health impacts of competitive eating, remaining on how they eat, what they eat, techniques, how do they eat on a normal day Why do you even stretch the video so much if you don't have enough content????
Adam is like the EMINEM of Competitive Eating, he Might not be the best in the World, but he commands alot of respect. On his own little Island. His UA-cam presence is even Greater than that of Joey Chestnut who is the #1 in the World. As of writing this Adam is #17.
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.
That young man isn’t ready for Beard yet, but he is up and coming and if he keeps it up one day he will be ready. I hope to one day see a challenge with him and Beard sometime in the future. Leah is a Beast, I’m happy for her, she has earned every bit of her success.
I watch Adam all the time he messed himself up on this challenge he never eats burgers like that tearing them all apart into small pieces. this took him so much more time to eat because he didnt eat them like he normally does
I love watching Adam's videos. They are genuinely entertaining and a nice to watch during study breaks to give my mibd a break. 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!
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.
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.
Despite the Dr's demonstration, still don't see how it's physically possible for Kyle's stomach to hold as much as that entire menu he ate, without actually bursting
There is a tidy petite Japanese woman who does this kind of eating. They did a study of her organs and found that when she eats extreme amounts her organs actually shift over
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.
Adam is better for the fact he's not a smarmy smug personality. Leah has 456K subscribers whilst Adam has 3.4Million. If Leah was more likeable she'd be killing it.
This was mental!! Lol 🤣 😆. Leah is extremely fast on smaller amounts, Kyle just needs to improve his technique. But Adam is definitely the King..and such a likeable dude!! There really wasn't much of "harm" to their health discussed at all !! 🧀🍗🍔🍟🍕🌭🥪🌮🥙🍩🥞💙😁
I find it funny that the old eater was complaining about the new eaters' way of eating things. It's like no matter what it is, older people will complain about how younger people do it.
They'll probably be constipated with all that bread. Or they'll have explosive diarrhoea if the food just goes right through them with little digestion, there's no inbetween.
The soundtrack to this whole episode is WILD LMAO

We were walking 5 miles, both ways in blizzards, to speed eat things that hadn’t been invented yet!!
Adam's personality is what gets him the UA-cam views. Joey Chestnut might have more impressive records, but I don't watch him regularly.
Matt Stonie is like “aww that’s cute” lol
Lmfao so true these guys are nowhere near Matts level.
This is an old documentary at least 2 year's
I have absolutely no idea who Matt Stonie is.
If I had to guess I'd say he probably eats a lot very rapidly.
molly schuyler would embarrass all of them
@@EsmeeAnnamarie Him n Joey chestnut are like rivals, both have been number 1 in the world
Adam comes off looking like the bad guy in this documentary but his UA-cam channel tells a different story. Top Man, keep up the great content beard 👍🏻
Maybe that's because his youtube channel is edited by him so obviously he's not gonna post things that make him look like a douche. He seemed pretty cocky to me.
sure. Ive watched them and dont like him at all.
@@thirtythreeeyes8624It's a documentary they like to spice things up for more engaging content.
bit sad knowing kyle idolizes adam and adam slated him instead of encouraging him to follow his aspirations. those of which were probably obtained by watching his hero :/
Never meet your heroes.
he didnt slate him at all, he just said kyle isnt at the same level as him, which is absolutely fair since he accomplished more. Im sure that when kyle gets to his level he'll accept him
I agree. Made me dislike this guy. Not a class act.
@@Rambutan. not watched a vid since, put me off
Yeah, was a bit eye opening really didn't think beard would be like that
I love Adam! He’s got such a fun personality!
I love Beard Meets Food, been following him for a few years!!!! ❤
I like to savor every last bite of almost everything I eat, so watching these *things* eating like that makes me wonder if they can even taste their food.
She says when she eats the burrito that if she allows herself to see/smell or taste it can put her off her goal. So no, I don't think they let themselves taste it. It's not even food to them anymore.
i dont think the point is to taste the food tbf
It's just like a sprinter trying to finish his race as fast as possible , there's no other thoughts . At this point I feel that these guys may even eat stuff like cardboard and rocks
exactly, the only thing I can't understand the point. eating should be fun
They can taste victory if they win. Thats all the flavor they need probably
eating with that beard makes me nauseous
He has a sexy super clean. Beard. 🎉
That was an incredibly uncomfortable scene where he was eating the sandwiches
BeardMeatsFood is such a good guy. He’s easily one of my favorite UA-camrs, not because of what he does, but because of his personality. My dad even likes him and I didn’t even show his channel to him, he found it on his own!
More likely the algorithm found him..via you..
@olsim1730 Probably, different accounts and devices, but occasionally the same IP address. Either way, he still clicked on it. Guess the algo isn’t as bad as people think it is.
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.
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.
Who wrote this script ? Adam and Leah are far from being rivals. They have two very different eating styles. While Leah can eat quantity she mostly goes for speed records
Best eater in the World is Molly Shuyler. She is fast and can do loads of food as well. Plus she has a positive mindset. Never complains.
@@48pluto It's amazing what Molly can eat and she is tiny compared to Adam and Leah.

@@AdamKyleAnderson you obviously didn't get the reference
Beard is currently eating his words.... because Kyle has wooped him on every challenge they have done... beard pretending he doesn't know him...ha ha ha
@@Bella25.47 he's not really a speed eater.
He eats many times faster than the average eater,
but far from the fastest eater
@@Bella25.47 But beard eats way more volume, to me thats more impressive
@@mcpartridgeboy That's true, he's not fastest but he eats A LOT.
The programme clearly made beard act cocky, if you watch his UA-cam channel he’s pretty humble
Yeah Kyle most likely can eat the most out of the all of them…Leah..she is definitely the fastest out of the 3 and can put a lot down. Beard…idk lol he’s pretty good but I think he’s not as good as some.
Huge fan of Beard's channel, but he comes across as hugely arrogant here.
He doesn't behave like this anymore, we all mature and our personalities change slightly. We also don't know how the producers of the programme asked him to behave, it happens quite often on reality tv shows.
I’m going to guess the producers of this video either asked him to act like that or edited it in such a way as to make him look arrogant. He seems very caring and humble on his own channel. I love seeing him with his sister.
@@ds_the_rn nah you could tell he was being very arrogant here. The way he asked to see a photo of Kyle when he clearly knew who he was lmao.
Might be bit scripted to make the show more interesting?
@@kjragg1099 that what producers tell them to do to make the video more dramatic and ‘enticing’ to watch😂 if he was this arrogant his videos would be very diffrent and portrayed him as this video did💀

WHO THOUGHT THIS WAS A GOOD SOUND TO PUT IN THE BACKGROUND??
the fact that at this time somewhere on the planet people are dying of hunger shows our true nature and the level of development of consciousness
To enjoy anything in the hellscape of western culture, one must abandon all moral judgements. Everything we consume under capitalism depends on the suffering of others, usually far removed from sight. Currently, 1 in 7 children in the US are food insecure but you won't see those stats alongside coverage of an eating competition.
How do they do it? If I eat a toasted cheese sandwich I can’t eat for at least 6 hours after.
There are techniques to help prepare for such things, lol
Same, maybe the weight of a pack of 2B pencils, or a very small scotch egg
Same!
You're weak AF.... And i assume you don't heavily workout? 🤔 Trust me. Daily heavy/intense workout makes you eat like this. 😂😂😂🙋♂️

The pain in BeardmeetsFood's Adam voice when talking about his father is something deeply troubling about todays world, that a father has to be like that is horrible. We as fathers need to love our sons, and we have to show them they are loved and good enough... So sorry for you Adam, that is not how a father is supposed to act.
@@pinkeye6803And yet, Adam and his sister fundraise for the UK Stroke Association, as it was a stroke that claimed the life of their dad. So even if the relationship between father and son might not have been the most ideal, the son still honours his father. It's a good thing to see.
Real men don't tell other men they love them. If I told my grandfather I loved him he would litterally kill me I am 100% certain.
@@bobbyvandyke143 I am so sorry for you. Regarding your grandfather. There might’ve been some physical abuse issues in his past then. You didn’t have the best upbringing I’m afraid and would be well served to work that out before having kids on your own. You’ll understand when you hold your newborn baby in your arms. No problem being loving and disciplined in decipling your child at the same time.
@@rekleif I have kids and thats just how men are supposed to be. My whole family is like that and most of the men we know also. Soft men raise soft men.
@@bobbyvandyke143 No it’s not. You treat your son differently than your buddy. What makes you believe that’s a good thing? 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.
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.
thing is, exercise is not the reason they are skinny...they do extreme diets, so they basically are doing exteme yoyo-diets.
@@TNM001 I never talked about anyone skinny
No matter what they say, it has to have horrible long-term effects on kidneys, liver, pancreas, gall bladder, heart, stomach, intestines, bowels, and bladder. It is just not healthy, no matter how much you work out, healthy eating at times.
Yes your right thinking about health is essential to increase life span mate!!!
The old guy is right 31:00
Massive respect for him
He sounded bitter. No big deal. We see a lot of the older athletes talk the same way about current athletes. There’s definite jealousy there, nitpicking on a point of cleanliness. Some people are so petty.
Leah is incredible. She deserved to win the burger challenge. She was clean and focused.
I’m here for The Beard. Adam is a superstar and kind of a nerdy old dad joke. The two best possible mixes for entertainment.
You gotta love the editing and the music that plays while they eat.
What shocks me the most is that no one is questioning this from a moral point of view..
We don’t play with food.
IDIOCRACY
I don't know how Matt Stonie isn't dead. Dude can literally eat 12.5lbs of food. His videos are wild and kinda terrifying. Sometimes I check his channel just to see if he's still alive...
Dirty secrets of stonies types of videos is that he purges directly after the last bite or for heat challenges there are drops you can take to numb capsaicin taste buds
@@scottsetzke7967 you are saying that based on zero evidence
@@scottsetzke7967you clearly follow unfounded conspiracy theories. You need to vet your sources better
I don’t know about now but I still watch his videos but when I got to meet beard a few years ago after a challenge in a place called Warrington and in person he seems like one of the most genuinely nice people I’ve met. We spent a while talking to each other about music
that's awesome! I just found his channel a few weeks ago and I'm still working through his vids. he seems so nice in them.
As someone who is an athlete , this is not a sport, it may be difficult and it may be competitive but it is not a sport
The video provides valuable insights into the world of competitive eating, highlighting the dedication, skill, and challenges faced by participants. It sheds light on the health concerns while celebrating the passion and achievements of individuals like Leah and Adam. I'm grateful for the opportunity to learn about this unique subculture and the stories of its participants.
Very little coverage of whether competitive eating is harmful.
Still enjoyed it
Ok, but why the moan music while kyle eating sandwich😂
Aspiring to want to do this is irresponsible on so many levels.
Safer than show jumping, ice climbing, rock climbing, American football, skiing. There are loss of unsafe things.
@@ampa4989 That's not my point.
It's an obscene amount of food. There's countries with food shortages and these people stuff their faces. I couldn't care less if there's more dangerous activities. Young people are growing up wanting to be these people. I can't decide if the stupidity or moral issue is worse.
@@twistedpreacher2455
But you see how thin these guys are. It's not an obscene amount of food because they obviously need those calories. They'd have gotten it this way or eating three square meals. There was no food wastage.
And anyway, I don't like the argument that there are people starving in the world. We, all of us, waste food all the time. And we overeat all the time. It's just part of being affluent and short on time.
And there are so many problems so much worse and more widespread than food shortage in the world. We don't care about any of that. So why single out food shortage even though it is limited to a handful of regions just because we can't be bothered to even be bothered about other problems?
I don't find competitive eating any less moral than gymnastics or marathon running. Not my thing but nothing inherently wrong with it.
@@ampa4989 They don't need 10,000 calories and accepting that we are all a bit like this is shortsighted. It may not be the worst problem in the world but imo it is immoral and glorifies an incredibly narcacistic and toxic relationship with food.
@@josephabraham3286 but as a society people have to stand up and say when something is wrong. That's how society works. This is toxic.
eating those large quantities in a ahort time is going to stretch the stomach & actually put pressure againat his other internal organs,they dont even think about how it shifts things around in his abdomen at the time & could push against the heart & any major arteries.
I've been following Andy for quite some time and just discovered Leah a few months ago. Thanking the algorithm for this video. It's fun to watch Leah unseat Adam at #1 in some restaurants' challenges.
they all think they are now healthy after having issues with food, but really they all still have an unhealthy relationship with food, they went from one end of the spectrum to the other.
Actually, Beard was an overweight kid, then became too thin. Put the weight back on in a healthy way as a bodybuilder: lots of small, high protein meals, etc. Then he got tired of food ruling his life and became a personal trainer. He's still sculpted, just not jacked. He does OMAD a lot, I think, eats lots of salads on off days to compensate for these calories. So he's cognizant of his relationship with food. Don't know the other two.
19:33 wtf was that 🤣
Exactly!!!!!
Lol l! How did i not notice that tje 1st time watching
What was that 😂😂
Leah making the older dude proud with her clean bites. It is definitely cooler to watch someone eat quickly without bare palming their food like a toddler. lol. awesome watch though :)
Adam, you made your dad proud because you were in Nathan's hot dog contest on ESPN. Beard is totally huge, Leah is totally huge, Kyle is absolutely on his way to being huge. **Kyle is at 52 thousand subscribers currently on March 31 2022, which is no number to scoff at! Let's get down to the real stuff tough, 19:30 WHAT IN THE FUCC WHY THE NOISES?????

I love how beard meets food can't bring himself to meet Kyle or have anything to do with him...you know he feels threatened. He should.
I have to agree
Beard was pretty mean about Kyle saying his name wasn’t very good! Come on Kyle show him how it’s done!
Yeah he’s pathetic. You could tell he knew exactly who Kyle was, and asking for a photograph first was just his way of trying to say Kyle was a nobody. He should know better as a supposed grown man. And don’t even get me started on that revolting beard 🤮

Title-How harmful is competitive eating
Just a few minutes of health impacts of competitive eating, remaining on how they eat, what they eat, techniques, how do they eat on a normal day
Why do you even stretch the video so much if you don't have enough content????
So they can make you watch an ad every 3 minutes.
Well, 3 minutes with the doc and on your way....
BEARD !! One of my favorite channels !
Adam is like the EMINEM of Competitive Eating, he Might not be the best in the World, but he commands alot of respect. On his own little Island. His UA-cam presence is even Greater than that of Joey Chestnut who is the #1 in the World. As of writing this Adam is #17.
Very important question! Can’t imagine it’s good for anybody to eat massive amounts of food in a rush. I think it’s an awful competition.
These people def have eating disorders
Agree I also think of the waste of food
Finally! A reasonable, rational comment on this video.
It’s definitely fun to watch but I’m glad it’s them and not me doing these challenges.
Seriously, they're making my stomach hurt. I was hungry for breakfast until I watched this, now my stomach is somehow full?
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.
“So I can eat about 17pounds... which is equivalent to about two newborn babies!” 🤣🤣🤣
This kind of eating is demonic. These people are no longer satisfied or full with a normal meal.
That young man isn’t ready for Beard yet, but he is up and coming and if he keeps it up one day he will be ready. I hope to one day see a challenge with him and Beard sometime in the future. Leah is a Beast, I’m happy for her, she has earned every bit of her success.
The young man has a name
Kyle Vs Food has a great UA-cam channel
feels like Kyle can eat more than Beard
Whoever was in charge of the music for this is insane! xD
I watch Adam all the time he messed himself up on this challenge he never eats burgers like that tearing them all apart into small pieces. this took him so much more time to eat because he didnt eat them like he normally does
I'm the type to savor my food. They put food in mouth, no bites, just swallow. This horrifies me.
They cannot be able to enjoy their food in this way... Indeed
They have to go quickly. The longer they take, the more full they get/less they get in
Indeed the risk of choking on their food is high, I hope they have a medic on site for these speed eating challenges.
I love watching Adam's videos. They are genuinely entertaining and a nice to watch during study breaks to give my mibd a break. 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!
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.
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.
I still have no idea wether competitive eating is harmful or not. My gut instinct tells me it is harmful, but who knows?
I would say it is. It’s gluttony..
Despite the Dr's demonstration, still don't see how it's physically possible for Kyle's stomach to hold as much as that entire menu he ate, without actually bursting
Because they do exercises to stretch it, so when it comes to the challenge day, it's like a deflated balloon
There is a tidy petite Japanese woman who does this kind of eating. They did a study of her organs and found that when she eats extreme amounts her organs actually shift over
@@LindaC616 whoa! Just like that Olympics swimmers guy that has more lung capacity than average men. They're borne like this
@@achicha yes
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.
Molly Shuyler is the best, I don't like beards attitude lol
I agree!
He’s an arrogant man child
@@katywuste9054 I agree
Yeah....before watching this, I thought he was a pretty grounded guy. Maybe he has an evil twin?
Molly is savage 👍 saw her and Kennedy back there.
I like Beard tho, he
he was portrayed arrogant here, but he is not
Adam is better for the fact he's not a smarmy smug personality. Leah has 456K subscribers whilst Adam has 3.4Million. If Leah was more likeable she'd be killing it.
This was mental!! Lol 🤣 😆. Leah is extremely fast on smaller amounts, Kyle just needs to improve his technique. But Adam is definitely the King..and such a likeable dude!! There really wasn't much of "harm" to their health discussed at all !! 🧀🍗🍔🍟🍕🌭🥪🌮🥙🍩🥞💙😁
I find it funny that the old eater was complaining about the new eaters' way of eating things. It's like no matter what it is, older people will complain about how younger people do it.
The guy also thinks there's two separate gullets for liquid and food. 😅
So basically none of this is about how it affects your health... why did I watch this again ?
What I want to know is do they spend all of the next day on the toilet…😂😂😂😂
What I want to know is why aren’t they grossly overweight
@@loulou7963 I know right!!? 🤔 I don’t eat a lot and I gain so easily 🙈🤦🏻♀️

I hate eating competitions. Can’t stand it. And can’t look at this.

Im glad eating competitions exist, just so Leah can smash through them. Its always good to see.
I still think that some of the top competitive eaters are way healthier than morbidly obese people.
