Do Competitive Eaters Purge After? What You Should Know About Competitive Eating
The most consistent question about competitive eating is; what is its aftermath?
Most competitive eaters are not forthcoming in answering the question about the aftermath of the game. The leading information obtained from them is that going to the bathroom is not always easy.
The thing is, most competitive eaters don't want to talk about bathroom habits, but those competitors bold enough to answer the question reported that they always make toilet bowls get filled. Sometimes, a competitor can cause the toilet to flow to overflow with their vomit and poop.
Some professionals also reported that they lost the competition as a result of too much belly fat. This is because belly fat often impedes the stomach's ability to stretch to the maximum and quickly too. The theory is that if there is fat in the way, the stomach wouldn't expand much.
You will notice that most competitive eaters today are quite fit and that could be the reason why they can control their stomach expansion more effectively.
