She may look "healthy" but the behavior and internal labvalues are definitely not normal. Medically speaking that many unhealthy foods will not be sitting well within the body.
Probably one of the oddest comments you will get: You look dead on like my great grandmother when she was young. It literally brought tears to my eyes. The fact that you are also a killer content creator with a sense of humor that is akin to hers is just amazing. Subbed.
someone mentioned in a recent video of mine that you mentioned me in this vid so i had to check it out! thanks so much for the kind words, i really appreciate it. the comments do get pretty bad but thank the heavens for youtube adding the feature to block certain words 😅😅😅 anyways, you seem so sweet and thanks again❤
I was JUST thinking the lack of negative comments are likely due to them being deleted, haters blocking the creators, etc. Just because WE don't see the hate comments, doesn't mean they're not there.
Yeah, I remember that a while back an absolute hate pustule told Sierra to eat a salad on a video of her eating a salad. They're not even trying. Love your content, Sierra!
My main problem with babydumpling and with mukbang content in general is that it feels very much like it’s promoting disordered eating at best and a full-blown eating disorder at worst. Binge-eating is still an eating disorder whether you purge afterwards or not (though as someone who has struggled with an ED for most of my life, I’d hazard a guess that most of these people are most likely purging afterwards).
Watching videos of people eating large amounts of food or videos of very underweight people online will NOT cause eating disorders. People that already have some type of eating disorder seeks out these videos.
Gosh your chill takes on things is so refreshing 😩 like you take these super chronically online topics and remind us, hey, guys, don’t forget, the real world
This right here! When she said you shouldn’t let someone on the internet have that much control over your life I just couldn’t agree more. Stop scrolling and get off the internet for a little bit.
Metabolisms can vary by a few hundred calories, but not by 10,000 calories. That girl isn’t being 100% on what’s going on. I won’t presume to speculate whether she’s faking, purging, or maybe has some disorder where she doesn’t absorb any nutrients from her food, that’s her own business, but there’s no way she’s just a normal gal who really eats that much
Thank you, lets not pretend this is just a thing that happens... just ~metabolism~ doesn't work like that, tho she really doesn't owe anyone explanations
Once, some youtubers went to do a restaurant challenge and there was a "professional eater" doing it too. She was famous because she was very very petite and yet could eat huge amounts of food. At the end of the meal, she looked pregnant. Like, just a massive belly. She explains that she has a big stomach and no sense of being full and she prepares before and after the meal, and actually doesnt eat anything for a while after the challenges.
Or she does a lot of sport and filmed over a few days in the airport but cuts it into one video like its one day? I mean there are many ways... Plus when she doesnt do it every day but like 2 days a months...i think it might be possible :D And you never see her eating the whole thing. Maybe she just take a bite and then leave it to others...or waste it....?
i think J's take on this one is really weird. it should be obvious why this kind of content is harmful to people, especially kids. maybe this creator doesn't owe her viewership any more access or info, but that's the only defense i agree with.
There’s a lady who’s in Japan who has an extra large stomach who eats a shit ton of food without gaining a lot of weight. They even had doctors check her stomach. Her name is Yuka Kinoshita!
Here’s the thing- even if she’s faking eating it all, she had to buy it all to pose with it or take a bite or whatever. The amount of MONEY, not to mention the food waste if she isn’t eating it all, is absurd. Especially that airport one my gawd
I don't get how people can't see that. Not only is she fake eating, the majority of mukbang videos (esp those not gaining weight) have a spit bucket. This is why their editing is so choppy from beginning to end. So that viewers don't question all the edits when they are in fact spitting. I thought this was an obvious fact but the comments here show that people are still living in the myth of "fast metabolism" which has been debunked. Just wasting food for clicks and people just keep falling for it. I have observed skinny people and the one thing they all have in common is they don't actually eat a lot and/or are extremely active. One guy would stuff his face with 2 burgers at 10 am then have lunch at 1 pm but barely have anything over the next three days. It's like his appetite came in waves and he would perform these "omg my friends just eats everything and stays skinny". A girl would order large and super sized of everything. She would take three bites, play around with it for an hour then it would end up in the trash. Once in a blue moon she might finish a large meal but it was always like her eyes were writing checks that her stomach couldn't cash.
Tik tok has an obsession with food waste that it's sickening. Besides this, they also make recipe rage bait videos of making inedible food just for clicks. You know that one lady on here that's like, "Everybody's so creative!" While watching those rage bait vids.
I used to be a binge eater (been recovered for years at this point). It's extremely unhealthy to even have the *urge* to eat this much. Watching her sushi video I can just imagine how exhausted and sweaty she was after that, I can see that bingeing exhaustion on her face as she starts eating the 2nd sushi roll. I'd be in so much pain, but yes I was able to eat this much. I know it's hard to believe, but it is possible to eat 10,000 calories in one sitting. It's sick and sad, which is why most people do it in private lol.
I’ve struggled with bulimia since I was in my teens. I have no sense of being able to stop when I’m just full. For a long time improvement in my eating disorder was accidents binging but NOT purge afterwards. Yeah, it’s all super unhealthy. I can’t watch these mukbangs or overeaters because it is hard to see when someone hits the breaking point.
@@carolinamurtha3102oh shit, same, so.... I guess I wasn't aware that now i am overeating. I thought I was over my ED's from the teens but now i am on the other side thanks to depression. I... This is.... This was very insightfull and eye opening....... Thx for the info
@@bonivermectin4087I'm not the op but also had issues with binge eating and intuitive eating was the solution for me. Diet culture had taught me to ignore my hunger cues and I had to rediscover them again and also deal with my guilt around certain foods I thought were off limit. Stephanie Buttermore's videos helped me a lot.
I used to eat similarly and stayed thin no matter what......Almost like clockwork, when i turned 27, my metabolism just went to sleep lol. I became overweight within a year, and continued to gain weight. I'm 36 now and I think I've "leveled" out, but losing weight is so hard. 27 years of eating whatever I wanted, never working out, and still being thin...It's almost impossible to undo that mentality.
same lol. maybe the ages are off give or take a few years but that was me. I never learned how to be healthy because I was skinny and didn't care to work out. Years later and I'm still educating myself. I have eating issues through ADHD and meds though, so I always eat with my dog because if I don't, she'll remind me later (she's big on routines)
Me too!! It makes sense that people are skeptical but the anger must be jealousy... I too wish I could still eat like this like I used to lol... When I turned about 31 it all changed and I gained weight for the first time since puberty 😭. It's really hard to learn how to eat right after years and years eating piles of whatever I wanted...
I was a very impressionable teenager growing up with horrible self esteem and self image, and I’m so glad this type of stuff didn’t exist then. I would’ve hated myself more. This is why I don’t let my kids have tiktok.
I think every person goes through that phase to some extent. It's bad enough when it's just your school, etc. I cannot even imagine what it would be like to grow up with the internet.
Binge eating is disordered eating. We are not about to be out here glamorizing, admiring, gawking at, or financially incentivizing EDs. I know someone who eats just like this and people think she can eat whatever she wants in whatever quantities she wants and stay thin; her secret is that she's starving herself when she's not binging. If something seems too bizarre to be true, it is.
Mukbang type videos became a really popular youtube genre in Japan for a while too, and it was just common knowledge that a lot of those people would starve themselves whenever not making a video💦
Omg this! Just because they film eating a few bites of fast food or even one mustang you have no idea what they do next. They can either starve themselves after or worse the purge after. I get so angry with this idea of oh well skinny people can eat whatever and how much of whatever they want. It's a lie!!! They don't do it every day or even that often or they have a high level of activity to off set it. Or they have a tape worm. You can't make excess calories disappear. It's not genetic to be super skinny or fat. It's behaviors. Genetics dictate where you store fat not how much.
actually correction, binge eating is an actual eating disorder *binging food more than 3 times a week is the criteria for it) and anyone who even does these mukbangs aren't doing them for fun, nobody enjoys that. What it is, is an addiction incased into a presentation of something else. and yes glamorising it and dangerously encouraging it.
Have you ever heard of the South Korean mukbang TH-camr called Tzuyang? She eats crazy amounts of food in front of people, and the people that serve her are usually rendered speechless. She seems to be able to eat that much because of a medical condition that makes food pass through her system really fast.
I want to thank you for providing the service of keeping my informed about weird tik tok trends and things people are complaining about. I don’t have the time, energy, or sheer will to do it on my own. I love that I can watch a lovely 20+ min video with your hilarious humor and I’m up to date. 😂
True!! I don't have, TikTok, & barely use the whole, FB & IG that I do have, lol, so I have no idea what's happening ....... 😒 & mostly don't care but yeah
Same here. Love the random content and I’m constantly learning about some really odd things. Even though I don’t care about this chick eating or not eating a ton of food, Jaime’s analysis of everything is always worth watching. 😂
Plus sized gal here as well. I had a friend who ran marathons and had a HUGE metabolism. He said it kinda sucked bc he never felt truly satisfied/full and that it was EXPENSIVE as well. So that helped me shift my perspective a little...
I have a high metabolism and I'm a busy mom and on my feet all day, and I've literally wondered if I could sit down more so I'm less hungry and can save money 😅
It's not fun. They have to think of food all the time and what they'll eat and when. I saw a girl with this problem waste away in boot camp. By the end, she looked like an anorexic. I'm surprised they let her stay til the end! She had to cram as much food down her throat in the 20 minutes for each mealtime (3). I'm sure in her home she probably ate 5-6 or more mealtimes plus snacks. I envied her at first but not in the end.
She was accused of not swallowing her food even when she was going to do a live video, the dumpling girl claimed that she was having problems with her Internet, or some technical difficulties and couldn’t show that she was swallowing her food. How odd.
As soon as you mentioned the double standard, I went, "Mmhmm, mmhmm!" It's true! People pretend to be so concerned about health, but when skinny people are unhealthy, it's okay. It even happens to me; I tell people that I'm concerned about what I eat and how little I exercise, but I can't bring myself to do it all (yet), and people immediately say, "No, you're so healthy! Don't say bad things about yourself!" Like, I'm not...I just know that the way I live is not currently healthy. But people cannot fathom a thinner person not being healthy. 🤦♂️
Yup, I have very low blood pressure and doctors orders are to start exercising ... I hate when I mention it and it's not taken seriously and as a valid health concern of mine... It makes me even more depressed -> isolating -> not exercising -> depressed -> isolating ect and so on ...
yes! seeing these vids is always so insane to me for this reason lol at my lowest, i had people congratulating me on my weight loss and telling me i looked really good and healthy when i only had lost the weight after months of food insecurity, starving, and illness. even when they knew, the weight loss outweighed (lol) the negatives. there's such a weird fascination with people, especially thin women, who can eat a lot of food without any issue that people seem to flock toward. i can only imagine a lot of people who consume these vids are also engaging in unhealthy eating behaviors themselves
This!!!! IT APPLIES TO DISABILITIES TOO!! It’s so crazy!!! I “look healthy and skinny and pretty” but I am so so so sick. I am so disabled. It is devastating when people don’t see my bad moments and how half the time I’m incapable of living life.
What i was thinking the whole time. People don't understand people can get bigger due to EDs or their environment. i remember hearing a story of a woman saying her mom showed her love by food and so she ate all the food to show her mom she appreciate her. this goes hand and hand with parents telling their kids to ea tall the food even if they're full or dont want more which can lead to unhealthy eating habits as adults. you should not judge someone for their weight, they may be going through stuff and judging them and shaming them won't do anything. I'm not at a healthy weight, but I do want to start my journey as I'm not far from a healthy weight but being put down by my own dad ruins my motivation. i had starved myself multiple times and i had lost 30 pounds (1-3 pounds per week) when i was barely eating. negativity can hurt even if they think they're doing you a favor. my boyfriend tells me I'm not fat and I'm beautiful. i appreciate him so much but i know not healthy, and i want to be leaner for my happiness and health. I've been having hard time with anxiety where i cant eat and it all. and its been affecting my eating as well as i use sweets to cope sometimes.
I knew a kid growing up, who would eat 4+ sandwiches in one sitting while I ate my one. It took us the same amount of time, too. I always just assumed he had a weird-ass metabolism. I hope he was okay. Thinking about you, buddy.
I usually eat very little and I have had friends who can easily eat 2x or 4x as my portions. It is definitely possible, thought unlike this girl their bodies reflected that. They were way bigger than me and very muscular. I hope your buddy was someone who could just eat a lot more and did not have an underlying issue ❤
My son can do that. He is 16 and 6’ 2”. He can easily eat a whole large pizza on his own and he’s thin as a rail. If he played sports I know it would be 10x worse. Growth spurts and teenager boys in general usually eat way more than more. Well into mid twenties too though usually the metabolism slows down. He doesn’t have and ED he’s just trying to feed his vastly growing body. This could easily explain the kid you’re talking about also.
As someone that suffered with anorexia and bulimia this really comes across as a binging behavior. I use to eat large amounts of “bad foods” or “good food” and throw up after or I would chew the food and spit it into a cup. I use to chew and spit foods a lot and even got so sneaky with this behavior I would do it at the dinner table with my parents. And they never did or said anything about it. I’m not trying to diagnose anyone or shame anybody. But these really are disordered eating behaviors no matter how you put it. Sure it very possible she can eat that much and doesn’t gain weight because her metabolism is insanely fast or she is very very active. But anyway you slice it eating in this way isn’t healthy physically or mentally.
I always appreciate the way you handle these ‘controversies’, Jamie. I’m tired of people getting worked up about crap that doesn’t matter to them personally. You don’t like someone? Don’t like their content? Don’t comment. Be mature, move on with your life. Life is happier when you stay in your lane and treat the people you meet with kindness. Can anyone control this girl? No. All you can do is control yourself so why you be stressing? Positive vibes, man.
I do think it's best to speak up against content that can be harmful. Aside from the whole is it healthy or not, this is incredibly wasteful and should not be normalized or promoted. I don't get how people can watch this and think this it OK while other people are starving and animals are being killed like factory work. I'm sorry, but I do not see the positive vibes in that. Excuse my English, I'm European.
It's just as dismissive to claim each individual doesn't feel personally effected or have real concern as it is to say someone's jealous. If you don't know that person, you don't know if they are concerned for the right reasons or not. I think saying live and let live is the best bet when you have a large fanbase and you don't want to upset too many people and be as least "offensive" as possible. No hate towards Jaime, I just prefer to listen to this kind of discourse when it's been thoroughly researched (not just the channel, but different EDs and how this might be promoting that). Same with the water tok. Sure it's harmless on the surface, but when I work in healthcare and I watch people I care for suffer because they cannot drink regular water to save their lives, yea.. I care a whole lot about the idiocracy on tik tok n in society.
I 100% agree. This whole narrative that her doing this could “be harmful” and “make people feel bad” is not her responsibility. Everybody eats. She happens to apparently eat a lot. There are tons of WIEIAD vids on TH-cam. If people are calling or harmful and making all these assertions about her they are clearly projecting their own insecurities.
@@racheljane_ Nobody has a metabolism like that. Nobody. Not her, not anyone else. She eats 20k+calories a session then flaunts how her body dosnt change. Its not possible. She's either gaining and getting it sucked out, doing multiple sessions a day and puking it up, or spitting it out. She ADDS the calorie intake in the description Each 10,000-20,000. Dont be naive.
As a thin person who has had cancer and inflammatory diseases like arthritis, I don’t want to see anyone eating pounds of fast food or drinking too much, or any other unhealthy habit. 🤢 You can be thin and still die young from heart disease or a fatty liver. Why would we want to watch people eat anyway? To be clear, though, I still like watching Jaime talk about it. 😂
I like putting on a mukbang when I'm cooking to be in the "hungry spirit" without watching a recipe that will distract me too much haha Super glad you're hanging in there! Hope your journey is gentle 💐
My mom was a junk food addict, and I hinted to her that she was putting herself in danger. I was afraid to really confront her. One day she came home with 2 dozen donuts, there are only the two of us in the house, and I don't eat donuts. That night I took the donuts down to the river, had a cry, then threw them all in the river one by one. The confrontation was eminent now. She was super pissed and didn't talk to me for weeks. A couple of years later she developed heart problems from high cholesterol and had a stroke. She then told me that she understood why I did it. That was my actual mother though, and I don't believe random people on the internet that say things like they are "concerned about you because I care about you". That's total bullshit.
I used to have a girlfriend who could eat a lot and still stay thin. She didn't eat as much as baby dumpling, but still. Of course, once she hit her 30's she couldn't eat like that anymore cause it did to her what it does to almost everyone else, puts on the pounds. Babydumpling reminds me of those rare people who can do eating competitions and not show it. My perspective...Babydumpling should enjoy it while she can, because she will eventually hit that age where she can't keep the pounds off anymore and will have to modify her content a bit.
The first question I had, before I got to that part of your video, was "I wonder if she has a purging part of her cycle." Binging is really unhealthy either way, but purging is generally unhealthy in a different way (dissolved teeth, digestive problems). Both also relate to serious psychological issues. My question further along is, "Why do people WANT this to be genuine?" I really don't get it. Don't eat that way. She's probably faking or purging, but you don't have to know which it is to know that you don't want to eat that way. Food addictions are addictions.
"You don't have to know which it is to know that you don't want to eat that way" THAAAAT PAAAART!!! That's all that matters. For whatever reason she is doing this and it's working for her, it won't for most of us, and that's just that.
Even if she had a fast metabolism, her stomach would stick out like a beer gut because there is no way that much food would not be visible in her stomach.
Yeah, there are some things that make me question wtf she is saying she’s eating vs what she is saying she’s eating. Yeah, right. Not sustainable even at 24. Please, girl. This is some Weird fetish sh*t going on…
I love watching ErikTheElectric! He exercises like crazy to be able to eat like that. He eats extremely healthy pretty much every day of the week, and then films his challenges one day a week. He films the whole process.
Yeah! he does cycling so he utilises the challenges to burn all that energy he consumed. Cause I know for cyclists they eat a lot of carbs for the amount of cardio they do.
I would watch him sometimes but it made me kinda sad coz he has spoken about being anorexic in the past, so to me this just looks like exercise bulimia and his whole world still kinda revolves around food.
He's still not eating 50k calories at once. It just cannot physically be done, as in the laws of physics wouldn't allow for it. I'm sure he still eats a ton, but what gets advertised is like a 10x exaggeration.
Honestly, the most disturbing thing to me about all of this is that there is an audience for this and it’s probably mostly young, impressionable viewers who’s (ir)responsible adults aren’t monitoring their viewing habits or screen time and who aren’t as educated on healthy eating habits or nutrition. As a parent of a pre-teen and a teacher, I just really am not a fan of Tik Tok at all.
I have the same wish! I used to be able to eat like this tiktoker when I was in my teens - early 20’s. I never exercised intentionally & easily maintained a 19.5 bmi. I ate pm the entire menu every time I ate out. I used to get 2 entrees when my bf & I went out on dates. When we ordered pizza, I’d eat an entire extra large pizza, a tray of pasta & half the dessert all by myself. But looking back, I also ate very little about half the week without realizing. Half the days were eating 5000+ cals, half the days were eating 1000 so my weight was easily maintained. It wasn’t intentional - I was just following my hunger cues and the youthful metabolism boost definitely helped. That all changed when I turned 25. Suddenly I couldn’t eat like that anymore. I had to exercise?? And watch what I ate??? Ugh! I think it’s partly genetic bc my dad had the same experience. It’d be such a dream to eat like my younger self again as I age while maintaining the low weight I had. Tbh, I’m never impressed by these large appetites + small bodies unless they’re over 25 because the metabolic changes are real and hit hard.
I've always been a bigger girl (before I started working out) but my younger sister was the opposite until about 26. Now she is the size I used to be before I started walking 3+ miles a day and watched what I ate.
And that is the magic logic people omit from their bad understanding of how weight gain and loss works. No one has magic metabolisms. It's almost all CICO and there's not much more to it than that, other than some disorders and water retention which don't contribute that much to the mystery people have so much trouble understanding.
Mine hit me like a fucking ton of bricks at age 35. Seriously I ate donuts every single day + 2 packages of M&M's in a day & weighed 135lbs for all of my 20's. Now at 37 I eat like 4 extra almonds & gain 3 lbs.
Bulimia. I'm glad you mentioned this. I was thinking about it recently, there are a ton of tockers who basically have the same personality that shove their face with cute "everything I ate in a day" videos
My boyfriend use to eat like this when he was doing cross country and gymnastics at the same time. So he needed a lot of calories for the activities. Some people have crazy high metabolism, but eating that much junk in one sitting would still hurt their stomach.. 🤷♂️ It also grossed me out to see that much food “eaten” by one person.
This is how I feel when I exercise for even 20 minutes. I usually have to eat a meal before and right after exercising otherwise I feel like I am constantly STARVING and will lose weight too fast
Also, like, what does their bloodwork look like? You can be thin but what about A1c, tryglicerides, cholesterol... For me personally I had issues with weight, but never bloodwork until I hit 30. And then it hit like a truck.
@la6136 you should try less carbs and more protein, i don't process a lot of grains or carbs properly and would be fully starving an hour after eating
TikTiok is nothing but weirdness and bad advice. But i will admit that sometimes there are some interesting gems that don't necessarily affect another's thinking or wellbeing.
@@longlivebeans thank you😂 I've never been more informed and connected to reality until I downloaded tik tok. All I get is very helpful things and if it's not I scroll and the algorithm understands.
Jaime, I love your content. I binge on it. I have high anxiety and when I need a calming distraction I watch (and rewatch) your episodes. You're my comfort TH-camr.
As a teen and in my 20's I used to have a super fast metabolism, on top of disordered eating ( didn't eat half of the day because of anxiety, and then ate as much as I could once I felt comfortable with my surroundings ). When I hit 32 the disordered eating didn't go away but my metabolism changed. It has been an odd journey on this side, having different reactions from people concerning my weight being more.
Man when my ED was at its peak I lost like 30 pounds in about a month and everyone told me how good I looked. Like… I would not eat for days and then when I did eat would immediately throw up from anxiety.
@adammackenroth2864 people do this kind of a thing on purpose called intermittent fasting. Your body starts to get used to it over time. Some (who are mentality well) feel they get many benefits in their health.
honestly i kinda agree with the fatphobia thing because on tiktok i got bullied for talking about being vegan and everyone insisted there was NO way i even ate vegetables 😭😭😭
Heavy set mostly vegan girl here, and I absolutely have had this. Like they imagine fat people are only sitting around eating twinkies. I'm like when was the last time you had a brussel sprout?! I eat way more veggies than my friends.
Veganism ≠ Health There are plenty of ultra processed foods out there, that just so happen to be vegan. People seem to forget that chips and Oreos are vegan. All of the times that my vegan sister had visited me, she had nothing but ultra processed stuff to eat. Every time she came back from the grocery store, it was some sort of frozen meat alternative product or chips and ice cream. Not once did she eat a veg or fruit while she was here.
My issue with this is at the height of my ED I was watching this kind of content OBSESSIVELY. I still get sucked in to it sometimes and it makes that part of my brain go insane.
Makes sense. When I was a huge alcoholic I would search out content of people acting the same as me. It would make me feel better to know there were people in the same boat or worse. Trying to normalize my behavior.
I had an ED off and on for 10 years. I know the struggle. I hope you are at a place now where you can enjoy your relationship with food. Sending you all the good vibes. 😊
Wow, Thats actually scary. Please dont allow these videos to trigger you to start the unhealthy ed again. Just be careful. I dont know you but I wish you well.
I have heard that a lot of mukbang creators have binge/starve behaviour (where they don’t eat all day/for many days and then eat really big portions all at once bc they are so hungry, and then go back to not eating due to guilt from the binge), rumination disorder (where they chew and spit without swallowing) or bulimia. I think the idea of shaming these people who have these issues is not a very nice thing to do, or very productive because many eating disorders are rooted in feelings of shame. I do think that eating disorders and the internet are a really dangerous combination for both the creators and the viewers, and I’m not entirely sure what the actual solution would be other than for people who are legitimately concerned to just block these posters and give them less attention, positive or negative.
I have bulimia n recovering. I find myself with worsening symptoms if I catch myself watching too many of these. Especially with the dessert ones. If I didn't have sweets or avoided them, I would watch hunnie b asmr or others for my sweet tooth. I'm also trying to cut back on sugar n noticed I'm actually losing weight healthily and I'll very rarely watch them anymore. I don't talk about this a lot. It feels embarrassing a bit, lol😅
@@caitlyntilson good on you for working on your recovery! it’s so important to recognize your triggers, and it sounds like you’re doing your best to find healthier behaviours. peace and love 💕
@@milo-ru3hc thank you so much!!! I just want to say I haven't had a full bulimic episode since January 2022! I do get triggered and my eating habits are still not great, I have counseling and physical therapy. I'm doing yoga at home and eat smaller meals, avoid heavy snacking, and I'm slowly losing weight. I am overweight, due to health and medicinal reasons and I have been for a few years. It got bad though in the past two or three years and Covid being an issue with gyms closing or being too expensive, I've been trying to work out slow at home. Physical therapy has really helped, because I developed a physical issue with my neck and it's effect on my back, so it's helping!
This is my personal theory: she started posting these videos as a joke. She thought "oh I should do a goofy parody of one of those 'what i eat in a day' vids," but then it ended up going viral so she thought, what if I could recreate this? And as time went on, she just kept faking vids in order to keep her success.
@@projectalyce no -- please do not believe everything you see online, or in an ad, or in a movie. It is really REALLY easy to fake. And people want views, want money. The entire advertising industry is based on what you can fake in a few seconds to a few minutes on a video. Literally.
I ate three family-sized pizzas in one go while I was significantly underweight (I had been hospitalised for anorexia just before)---- It was to 'prove' I was eating. The thing is, I only ate in front of people and would often only eat some of the meal, then not eat again. I would be surprised if she was eating everything regularly...even with a fast metabolism, this would cause a lot of weight gain, unless it was very temporary
Nothing about your comment makes sense. 😂😂😂😂 If you were anorexic and just got out of the hospital from being so thin, there's no way you can eat three pizzas! First of all your stomach would be too small. And second, if you really struggle with an eating disorder, then you would know that you have to start off small. You can't just eat three large pizzas! Your body can go into shock and your heart could have a heart attack!! This comment is ignorant and full of lies!! 😂😂😂 Stop trying to be relatable! It is not working!! 😂😂😂😂 Saying you have an eating disorder just to try and fit in or get recognition online is disgusting. Eating disorders are the most deadliest mental disorders in this world! Trust me, you do not want to have this disorder! You should be thanking god. Not trying to get thumbs up from people by lying. It's sad and pathetic behavior. 😂😂😂
Someone close to me started watching these mukbang videos and became OBSESSED WITH THEM. Within a month, this person developed an eating disorder that was so powerful, it nearly put them in the hospital. Months of therapy later, this person is doing better much to my and other people's relief. It's been over a year, and while there is still lingering problems from the effect of these videos, it sounds silly to hear someone else say that these videos can have a negative effect on others, but it is true!
@@kittygoesWOOF I actually know a lot of people with anorexia that watch mukbangs are using the videos to keep themselves from eating. They basically pretend like they are eating what the mukbanger is eating, in their head to kind of suppress their appetite. People use these videos to inspire themselves to diet, I guess some people also get so disgusted by the amount of food on camera that it makes them sick and not want to eat. so in terms of what kind of ED? It depends on the person but a lot of people use these videos to harm their own eating patterns.
That's crazy! I also watch mukbangs, but when I get urges to eat more than my usual intake of food after watching a video, I avoid it for some time until the urge goes away. I don't hv any problem doing it this way. I hope your friend is doing well.
For me it works totally opposite. I can eat much less when I see a person who have eaten a lot. This is kinda strange, but it works for me. For example, I can make a nice dinner and if I will be alone I will consume a lot of that. But if someone will eat it with me and enjoy it, I can have few bites for try and I do actually feel full, I don't want to eat anymore. So, when I see a person who eats a lot, I don't feel my hunger, because my eyes say "oh my, that was a lot of food, we are full".
I hate expelling my food. my one food wish is that I didn't have to use the bathroom and that it just magically disappeared or like absorbed into the atmosphere or some shit. goodbye 4am night piss.
The amount of money she spends in a day has to be astronomical! Also, hopefully this poor girl is actively seeing a doctor to monitor her health. In 10 years I really hope she’s healthy and happy.
I just find it gross that anyone speculating about an ED would proceed to mock shame or attack her for it. That’s shitty behavior, and will trigger anyone else who sees that kind of talk who is currently dealing with an ED. Mockimg/Shaming her for the possibility won’t ‘spread awareness’, just harm. im glad you approach these conversations with empathy.
@@BerryationsWhile having an ED is terrible, it's not her responsibility to make sure someone is not triggered. The triggered person should block her so they will not see the content in the future, and keep themself safe.
The fact that she can seemingly that much and keep a figure like that was my immediate thought as well. Even if she does have a great metabolism, it slows with age and eating junk food catches up with you later in life, not only in potential weight gain but other health problems. I had metabolic age of 14 years when I was in my 20s, now in my 30s I have to watch my diet.
@@Filthy_Furry_Sorrow Getting older is great in its own way, though. You're so much wiser, more confident and I actually enjoy life much more now, so youth is great and all but ageing is a privilege.
I would be worried she has hyperthyroidism or that she will be diagnosed in the future.. or possibly bulimia. None of my business though, there's a reason I don't have TikTok lol
As someone who used to have an eating disorder, I sadly would chew and spit my food out. I was able to be 102lbs by eating what she consumes and at that volume. And folks, this is exactly how she does it too. You rarely see her swallow the food. Luckily, I don't do this anymore and a healthier weight. Don't do this!
I think its pretty obvious babydumpling is usually with friends a/o a partner who are probably sharing the food after she takes the first bite. She's getting that money. If people want to participate in the conteoversy, they're contributing to it.
Jaime my kid noticed that for all her cuts her hair and makeup changes so she could be filming different days and editing it together. Thanks for the laugh 😂
What annoys me the most is if she was fat then people would be raging and constantly telling her how unhealthy they were. What she "eats" in a day is insane and incredibly unhealthy if she is actually eating this, why is no one concerned about that?
There used to be a semi-celebrity in Japan called Gyaru Sone who, while being a small Japanese young woman, could put away the same amount of food. She used to say, she didn't eat like this everyday, and the food would come out straight "as is" (I mean not digested), that's why she stayed very slim. She has a cooking TH-cam channel (in japanese) where she cooks and eats normal amounts of food now! 😊
It’s absolutely impossible for food to come out “as is” without having a very severe medical problem. The moment food touches your saliva it begins breaking down. Then your digestive juices get to work, as well as traveling through 15 feet of intestines. Even ostomy patients have their food broken down to non recognizable 💩 Not that it matters, but don’t believe everything someone on TH-cam says 🤷♀️
@@skankfaceBECCASome people have malabsorption disorders, not a result of laxatives just legit medical health conditions. Given what OP said, that’s what it sounds like if you don’t immediately assume the worst about people.
I will say Eric the Electric is very upfront about how much activity he has to do to maintain. I always think hell no, if I have to do all he does I'm going to stick with this one serving. Dude basically lives on his bicycle.
Yeah, he's also been very open about his history with anorexia and does get a lot of criticism from people accusing him of having a (exercise subtype) purging disorder
As someone whose been on both (extreme) ends of the eating spectrum, body building can allow you to eat a basically constant stream of food. My boyfriend and myself are both bodybuilders and we we eat TONS, constantly. But even he could only eat about half or even a third of what she does in a meal, with a cal target of almost 5000 and protein of 170 g.
Friend of mine is 'bulking' right now and, even though he is a tall guy, it is sooo much food and he doesn't get fat because he is using it for the gym lol
@@Dunika I mean I do. Scientifically, you can’t actually stretch your stomach to be bigger - that’s a myth- your body just learns to process food faster. So when I stuff myself I always get a food baby, it may be gone in 20 mins rather than the hour it used to take, but your body can only hold so much. Now, I will say…if we add time to the whole equation, and your body begins to digest as you continue to eat, I think you could probably get away with eating a bit more. Depends person to person.
Jaime asked for it so here it is: I had to guess some portion sizes and take her word on the rest but the sushi mukbang is approximately 6,947 calories That said, I think the most innocent explanation behind her inconsistencies is she’s lying about the portion sizes she’s eating. I don’t watch her stuff but maybe she’s only actually eating a small percentage of the food she shows on camera
From what I've heard and as you can see in most of the videos shown here she only shows herself taking one bite of each thing so unless she shows herself eating all that stuff EVERY time I'm calling 🧢
I saw a few people on TikTok say they've seen her throwing out all the food. She takes like 1-2 bites and spits it out and throws it out. Idk if it's true but I've seen a few videos and comments saying this.
She is either fasting for days before and/or after, purging, or..... There was a pretty well-known girl on YT years ago (who I won't name for fear of people messing with her), who outright said she spat stuff out when she was questioned. She tasted various snacks from her country, and described what they were like. She wasn't even eating the entire (small) portion, and she stated very clearly, at least once, that "you don't have to swallow to taste it", and that she spat stuff out.
My friend is really skinny... She says there are some days that she is so hungry and can eat a lot but other days she hardly eats anything. It's def a metabolism thing.
One of my best friends was a professional body builder for a while & he ate 10K calories everyday. What he ate though was mostly healthy but high in fats. he spent around 4-5 hours in the gym everyday
It’s not so much that it changes your metabolism, rather it KILLS your appetite and makes you move around more on top of it, more so when you don’t actually medically need it.
Hey Jaime! I just wanted to stop by to let you know that your reaction content has been really fun to watch lately and you bring a positive and balanced viewpoint to the genre. I also just wanted to say that I REALLY appreciate your recent willingness to criticize where you feel it appropriate - you're not being mean, you're bringing up valid points, and you're doing it as delicately as possible while still being able to say "hey, something isn't right". Of course you're going to get backlash no matter what but I'm super happy it isn't discouraging you. Thanks for the great content and can't wait to see what's in store! 😊
Honestly every single time there is like a controversy i always wait for u to post a video about it because you always make an unbiased view on both sides and its just amazing
I love getting a notification that you posted a new TH-cam video! Being a disabled, poor broad stuck at home due to my health issues, your videos are the highlight of my days! ❤
I did know a girl in middle and high school that chewed her food and spit it out. She never tried to hide it. She freely admitted that she didn't want to get fat. Its not unheard of!
I had a binging disorder, and to help me stop eating so much, i started to just chew my extra food I didn’t need to be eating and spit it out. It would help satisfy my cravings without putting me in pain. I have good eating habits now but just throwing it out there
Unconditional permission to eat was the key to maintaining my weight. I learned this approach from intuitive eating, and what's interesting is when my only standard for what I eat is whether I really like eating it... it really improved the quality of what I ate over time. And I didn't feel like I was constantly at war with food. Life changing.
Erik the Electric is also an iron man, just to let you know. Plus he also has before and after weigh ins, and shows his abs vs. gut after. Additionally he shows you in some clips how he exercises after a big eat. That's why people appreciate him, he shows everything, and you can see how sick he gets during the progression of a massive mukbang. So he doesn't hide anything.
I watched a few of his videos and it's wild how much food he's able to eat. I truly would not be able to do it. It helps that he's not doing that every single day and that he works out before and after and even during.
15:44 - I’m with you there Jamie. As an eating disorder survivor, and someone who has been at both very low and high weights, I have a hard time with the word being “reclaimed” now.🙄
It's really up to the individual people. It's like any other slur or dergotory term, the people that it goes against have the personal right to either claim or reject it. Many plus size people use the term "fat" for themself because they don't find it to be a bad word, but many also don't like it and prefer othee terms like "bigger bodied," etc. If you don't want to call yourself "fat," then you don't have to! But some people do and that's okay, too.
@@starsiadraws absolutely agree. I am mixed Black and have lifelong physical and mental disabilities, so I am uniquely familiar with slurs unfortunately. I‘ve found certain ones are harder to get used to hearing used more over time. So interesting how certain words just carry so much more weight…lol 😉
I’m sick as a dog right now and you literally just made my day even better you are so talented at making all of us laugh and feel good love you so much!
I used to eat whatever I want, whenever I want and stay small. Between my metabolism and working out/walking all the time, it was amazing. Now I dont work out at all basically and ive gained weight
I bet her dentist knows why she can eat so much without losing her figure. Dentists can spot acid erosion on your teeth that is conducive with a specific ED….or acid reflux…but, typically if someone has acid reflux they’re more open about it…and know it messes up their teeth.
Yup, some people go as far as vomiting the whole feast back out, which is not exactly a positive guide to following your dreams, more like a guide to magic tricks.
Honestly, I had a slight eating disorder in college and I ate like this….twice weekly. The other days I would hardly consume anything but maybe a banana and some peanut butter. Seriously. 2 whole days with no food and then binge eating like this. Plus I did a lot of running at the track. I was at my skinniest during this time.
I had a friend in high school who would actually eat a lot like this and hardly gain any weight but she found out she had a heart condition that made her heart work 2x harder. After she got medicated, she instantly gained weight. I guess its possible??? But i dont know...
I had a friend who couldn't put on weight who had type 1 diabetes that weirdly didn't get diagnosed until well into adulthood. She gained weight when her body finally got insulin for the first time ever.
Wow that's kinda freaky. I mysteriously got skinny a few years ago and have chest pains a lot. Doctors weren't worried then though. They never seem to be worried about weight loss unless you're scary thin
I have had a few friends in the past where they were ridiculously thin, and would eat an obscene about of food at school to the point I was concerned they were purging or otherwise, however, I came to understand later on that due to things in her childhood and her genetics she did not choose to be that thin. I'm not sure if it was a humble brag or she was just she was anxious about how she looked, but she hated how thin she was and was looking to gain weight. So yes, some people are just very thin and can eat a lot without purging.
My best friend growing up ate TONS of food and did everything in his power to gain weight, but was always super skinny. My step-dad was the same. Step had problems in his early thirties with cholesterol from all the food he ate (bestie was a vegetarian LOL) and was dead from a heart attack before 60.
My experience shows me that a lot of thin people bingeing online for content have bulimia and purge or starve for days after. I discovered this even before mukbangs surged during quarantine; started when some youtuber came out in the hospital with why they stopped doing those videos (they had a hole in their stomach from previous non-necessary illegal weight loss surgery and so never felt full) and it took me down a rabbit hole of binge mukbangers with eating disorders. I stopped watching stuff like that but I see these people on my recs sometimes. Of course I would never ask any one of these current content creators about it or put speculations in their comments (if I watched binge eating mukbang in the first place) because that’s their battle if there is one. It’s not any of my business-I’m not their doctor or therapist or family. I just don’t encourage it by not watching it to begin with. It probably doesn’t make a dent on their page but at least my conscience is clear. I’m not sure what other people get out of binge videos to be so particular about swallowing etc, but I do know a lot of people with eating disorders or restrictive diets live vicariously through these videos (or use them to soothe their guilt) so maybe that’s it? 🤷🏾♀️ In general, I just wish people would stop putting the well-being of themselves and others at risk for content all across the board. I only watch one food review person and he doesn’t usually overeat, and he usually stops when he’s full. Better than me; I still struggle with my own disordered eating so take responsibility for myself by minding the media I consume. I feel like people should enjoy food and try new foods and that’s what mukbangs and What I Eat videos should be about-not pushing your body to limits or shocking people. It’s very easy to compare yourself to others on the internet so I respect content creators who live their authentic lives and don’t make it easier for viewers to make unfair comparisons by being honest and forthcoming. But we never truly know who someone is behind the screen, so just watch what makes you feel good and improves your own life I say.
I wouldn't have thought it was possible before watching Beard Meats Food channel. He shows full videos of his massive eating challenges and he is stick thin. I absolutely LOVE your perspective on these types of videos. Balanced, no outrage, just interest.
He still manages his overall calories though, like not eating for a few days afterwards. He said he dieted for quite a while before starting his American tour of challenges, so even though he has a huge amount of calories in one sitting, over the course of a month it probably evens out as something fairly reasonable.
I could speculate about the whys and hows of what her body's doing with it all, but I think you're absolutely right in trying to unravel the "why do we have to watch? why are we mad that other people watch?" angle of these dramas. People decide they know what the trick is, they've called it (loudly! multiple times!) and they're... not done, they're back watching again in their millions. "curiosity killed the cat" doesn't even begin to touch this weirdness, there's not that even much to be curious about but it's trapped everyone anyway. And then the addictive feedback loop of viewcounts keeps creators making the addictive content - it's almost like lovebombing, which in the case of things like bodybuilders consuming 50,000 calories a day that sometimes can be because of muscle dysmorphia (usually men who desperately want to be bigger, associated with a very high suicide rate, and a very low interest in longterm health) is quite an alarming prospect. I think the projected guilt over food waste is part of the allure generally. food usage obsesses us, it's up there with wealth and status, we want to police it.
I have a crazy big appetite too, but there’s no way I could eat all that without throwing up. I’d wager she throws up a lot after eating all that! I’d be surprised if not.
I just want to say thank you again for keeping me entertained while I am recovering from surgery. My only complaint is that it hurts to laugh and you make me laugh at least once a minute. Much love and light to you, your bird (idk it"s name, my bad) and your hubby

How can she afford to buy all that food at the AIRPORT?!?!? That’s like $12,000.00 worth!!!
For real, the logistics of this are way more interesting than the food itself to me.
Social media sells, but allows an income
that's my point; she is just showing her money. For all we know, she might make herself throw up after all of it lol
She spits it all back I guess
@@AugustThor438 I was thinking bulimia?!
She may look "healthy" but the behavior and internal labvalues are definitely not normal. Medically speaking that many unhealthy foods will not be sitting well within the body.
EXACTLY
Probably one of the oddest comments you will get: You look dead on like my great grandmother when she was young. It literally brought tears to my eyes. The fact that you are also a killer content creator with a sense of humor that is akin to hers is just amazing. Subbed.
That's adorable!
someone mentioned in a recent video of mine that you mentioned me in this vid so i had to check it out! thanks so much for the kind words, i really appreciate it. the comments do get pretty bad but thank the heavens for youtube adding the feature to block certain words 😅😅😅 anyways, you seem so sweet and thanks again❤
I was JUST thinking the lack of negative comments are likely due to them being deleted, haters blocking the creators, etc. Just because WE don't see the hate comments, doesn't mean they're not there.
@@starsiadraws Exactly, people who are used to getting hurtful negative comments online are likely quick a thorough with moderation/deletion.
Hiii you are one of my fav creators! Love you and Kevin!!!
I literally freaked out a little when she mentioned you too...ya'll are both my favs
Yeah, I remember that a while back an absolute hate pustule told Sierra to eat a salad on a video of her eating a salad. They're not even trying. Love your content, Sierra!
My main problem with babydumpling and with mukbang content in general is that it feels very much like it’s promoting disordered eating at best and a full-blown eating disorder at worst. Binge-eating is still an eating disorder whether you purge afterwards or not (though as someone who has struggled with an ED for most of my life, I’d hazard a guess that most of these people are most likely purging afterwards).
Amen
I was thinking the same thing. You can "eat" anything for the camera and throw it up right after
no fr I look at this and I'm like yeah that looks like what I would eat when I was severely bulimic
I was thinking the same thing...
Watching videos of people eating large amounts of food or videos of very underweight people online will NOT cause eating disorders. People that already have some type of eating disorder seeks out these videos.
Gosh your chill takes on things is so refreshing 😩 like you take these super chronically online topics and remind us, hey, guys, don’t forget, the real world
Exactly 💯🤌
This right here! When she said you shouldn’t let someone on the internet have that much control over your life I just couldn’t agree more. Stop scrolling and get off the internet for a little bit.
I decided to remove myself from TikTok/IG recently and her videos have REALLY helped me justify my decision to detach from being chronically online
I'm more impressed with how she doesn't fill the entire plane with farts.
Seriously 😂
Besides farts,she could also be harboring plaque in her arteries. ❤
Who says she doesn’t?
@@sarahakinI was about to type that like, sis has probably annihilated toilets

Metabolisms can vary by a few hundred calories, but not by 10,000 calories. That girl isn’t being 100% on what’s going on. I won’t presume to speculate whether she’s faking, purging, or maybe has some disorder where she doesn’t absorb any nutrients from her food, that’s her own business, but there’s no way she’s just a normal gal who really eats that much
100% this, it is physically not possible
Thank you, lets not pretend this is just a thing that happens... just ~metabolism~ doesn't work like that, tho she really doesn't owe anyone explanations
Once, some youtubers went to do a restaurant challenge and there was a "professional eater" doing it too. She was famous because she was very very petite and yet could eat huge amounts of food. At the end of the meal, she looked pregnant. Like, just a massive belly. She explains that she has a big stomach and no sense of being full and she prepares before and after the meal, and actually doesnt eat anything for a while after the challenges.
Or she does a lot of sport and filmed over a few days in the airport but cuts it into one video like its one day?
I mean there are many ways...
Plus when she doesnt do it every day but like 2 days a months...i think it might be possible :D
And you never see her eating the whole thing. Maybe she just take a bite and then leave it to others...or waste it....?
i think J's take on this one is really weird. it should be obvious why this kind of content is harmful to people, especially kids. maybe this creator doesn't owe her viewership any more access or info, but that's the only defense i agree with.
There’s a lady who’s in Japan who has an extra large stomach who eats a shit ton of food without gaining a lot of weight. They even had doctors check her stomach. Her name is Yuka Kinoshita!
Here’s the thing- even if she’s faking eating it all, she had to buy it all to pose with it or take a bite or whatever. The amount of MONEY, not to mention the food waste if she isn’t eating it all, is absurd. Especially that airport one my gawd
I don't get how people can't see that. Not only is she fake eating, the majority of mukbang videos (esp those not gaining weight) have a spit bucket. This is why their editing is so choppy from beginning to end. So that viewers don't question all the edits when they are in fact spitting. I thought this was an obvious fact but the comments here show that people are still living in the myth of "fast metabolism" which has been debunked.
Just wasting food for clicks and people just keep falling for it. I have observed skinny people and the one thing they all have in common is they don't actually eat a lot and/or are extremely active. One guy would stuff his face with 2 burgers at 10 am then have lunch at 1 pm but barely have anything over the next three days. It's like his appetite came in waves and he would perform these "omg my friends just eats everything and stays skinny". A girl would order large and super sized of everything. She would take three bites, play around with it for an hour then it would end up in the trash. Once in a blue moon she might finish a large meal but it was always like her eyes were writing checks that her stomach couldn't cash.
Facts. That 15.00 for pizza almost made me pass away!
@@tropistan7735Bfr here are mukbangers who are eating so much food on youtube without editing and in restaurant
Tik tok has an obsession with food waste that it's sickening. Besides this, they also make recipe rage bait videos of making inedible food just for clicks.
You know that one lady on here that's like, "Everybody's so creative!" While watching those rage bait vids.
@@tropistan7735 she literally posted raw, uncut videos of her eating on youtube. Besides its her money anyway.
I used to be a binge eater (been recovered for years at this point). It's extremely unhealthy to even have the *urge* to eat this much. Watching her sushi video I can just imagine how exhausted and sweaty she was after that, I can see that bingeing exhaustion on her face as she starts eating the 2nd sushi roll. I'd be in so much pain, but yes I was able to eat this much. I know it's hard to believe, but it is possible to eat 10,000 calories in one sitting. It's sick and sad, which is why most people do it in private lol.
I’ve struggled with bulimia since I was in my teens. I have no sense of being able to stop when I’m just full. For a long time improvement in my eating disorder was accidents binging but NOT purge afterwards. Yeah, it’s all super unhealthy. I can’t watch these mukbangs or overeaters because it is hard to see when someone hits the breaking point.
@@carolinamurtha3102I understand. I was thinking the same thing. I'm very nervous about the ED aspect of these kinds of videos.
@@carolinamurtha3102oh shit, same, so.... I guess I wasn't aware that now i am overeating. I thought I was over my ED's from the teens but now i am on the other side thanks to depression. I... This is.... This was very insightfull and eye opening....... Thx for the info
PLEASE, how did you overcome binge eating?? 😢
@@bonivermectin4087I'm not the op but also had issues with binge eating and intuitive eating was the solution for me. Diet culture had taught me to ignore my hunger cues and I had to rediscover them again and also deal with my guilt around certain foods I thought were off limit. Stephanie Buttermore's videos helped me a lot.
I used to eat similarly and stayed thin no matter what......Almost like clockwork, when i turned 27, my metabolism just went to sleep lol. I became overweight within a year, and continued to gain weight. I'm 36 now and I think I've "leveled" out, but losing weight is so hard. 27 years of eating whatever I wanted, never working out, and still being thin...It's almost impossible to undo that mentality.
same lol. maybe the ages are off give or take a few years but that was me. I never learned how to be healthy because I was skinny and didn't care to work out. Years later and I'm still educating myself. I have eating issues through ADHD and meds though, so I always eat with my dog because if I don't, she'll remind me later (she's big on routines)
Omg same.
Me too!! It makes sense that people are skeptical but the anger must be jealousy... I too wish I could still eat like this like I used to lol... When I turned about 31 it all changed and I gained weight for the first time since puberty 😭. It's really hard to learn how to eat right after years and years eating piles of whatever I wanted...
There’s no way you ate like that. That’s so much.
Liar. No woman or man who isn't Michael Phelps during training for Olympics needs 12,000 kcal a day😂
I was a very impressionable teenager growing up with horrible self esteem and self image, and I’m so glad this type of stuff didn’t exist then. I would’ve hated myself more. This is why I don’t let my kids have tiktok.

I think every person goes through that phase to some extent. It's bad enough when it's just your school, etc. I cannot even imagine what it would be like to grow up with the internet.

Not sure why it's endorsed here.
@@RainingRebeccaNope, not every person. Wrong.
@@KackieJennedy well maybe you didn't, but I had some beautiful friends and behind closed doors, they would open up and they were like everyone else.
Binge eating is disordered eating. We are not about to be out here glamorizing, admiring, gawking at, or financially incentivizing EDs.
I know someone who eats just like this and people think she can eat whatever she wants in whatever quantities she wants and stay thin; her secret is that she's starving herself when she's not binging.
If something seems too bizarre to be true, it is.
Mukbang type videos became a really popular youtube genre in Japan for a while too, and it was just common knowledge that a lot of those people would starve themselves whenever not making a video💦
Omg this! Just because they film eating a few bites of fast food or even one mustang you have no idea what they do next. They can either starve themselves after or worse the purge after.
I get so angry with this idea of oh well skinny people can eat whatever and how much of whatever they want. It's a lie!!! They don't do it every day or even that often or they have a high level of activity to off set it. Or they have a tape worm. You can't make excess calories disappear. It's not genetic to be super skinny or fat. It's behaviors. Genetics dictate where you store fat not how much.
Competitive eaters do this too
actually correction, binge eating is an actual eating disorder *binging food more than 3 times a week is the criteria for it) and anyone who even does these mukbangs aren't doing them for fun, nobody enjoys that. What it is, is an addiction incased into a presentation of something else. and yes glamorising it and dangerously encouraging it.
I agree. We should not be "jealous" of people who eat this way. This is disordered eating, and shouldn't be glamorized.
Have you ever heard of the South Korean mukbang TH-camr called Tzuyang? She eats crazy amounts of food in front of people, and the people that serve her are usually rendered speechless. She seems to be able to eat that much because of a medical condition that makes food pass through her system really fast.
I love her she is one of my favourite mukbangers
I want to thank you for providing the service of keeping my informed about weird tik tok trends and things people are complaining about. I don’t have the time, energy, or sheer will to do it on my own. I love that I can watch a lovely 20+ min video with your hilarious humor and I’m up to date. 😂

Same here. Love the random content and I’m constantly learning about some really odd things. Even though I don’t care about this chick eating or not eating a ton of food, Jaime’s analysis of everything is always worth watching. 😂
Same! Thank you for doing this so we don't have to!
This part. Specialization is choice in the labor force.
Plus sized gal here as well. I had a friend who ran marathons and had a HUGE metabolism.
He said it kinda sucked bc he never felt truly satisfied/full and that it was EXPENSIVE as well. So that helped me shift my perspective a little...
I have a high metabolism and I'm a busy mom and on my feet all day, and I've literally wondered if I could sit down more so I'm less hungry and can save money 😅
Huge metabolism 😂 so big you can see it 😂😂
It's not fun. They have to think of food all the time and what they'll eat and when. I saw a girl with this problem waste away in boot camp. By the end, she looked like an anorexic. I'm surprised they let her stay til the end! She had to cram as much food down her throat in the 20 minutes for each mealtime (3). I'm sure in her home she probably ate 5-6 or more mealtimes plus snacks. I envied her at first but not in the end.
Jane...so why did he run marathons if he complained food was expensive!
I think you mean fast not huge LOL
She was accused of not swallowing her food even when she was going to do a live video, the dumpling girl claimed that she was having problems with her Internet, or some technical difficulties and couldn’t show that she was swallowing her food. How odd.
As soon as you mentioned the double standard, I went, "Mmhmm, mmhmm!" It's true! People pretend to be so concerned about health, but when skinny people are unhealthy, it's okay. It even happens to me; I tell people that I'm concerned about what I eat and how little I exercise, but I can't bring myself to do it all (yet), and people immediately say, "No, you're so healthy! Don't say bad things about yourself!" Like, I'm not...I just know that the way I live is not currently healthy. But people cannot fathom a thinner person not being healthy. 🤦♂️
Yup, I have very low blood pressure and doctors orders are to start exercising ... I hate when I mention it and it's not taken seriously and as a valid health concern of mine... It makes me even more depressed -> isolating -> not exercising -> depressed -> isolating ect and so on ...
yes! seeing these vids is always so insane to me for this reason lol at my lowest, i had people congratulating me on my weight loss and telling me i looked really good and healthy when i only had lost the weight after months of food insecurity, starving, and illness. even when they knew, the weight loss outweighed (lol) the negatives. there's such a weird fascination with people, especially thin women, who can eat a lot of food without any issue that people seem to flock toward. i can only imagine a lot of people who consume these vids are also engaging in unhealthy eating behaviors themselves
This!!!! IT APPLIES TO DISABILITIES TOO!! It’s so crazy!!! I “look healthy and skinny and pretty” but I am so so so sick. I am so disabled. It is devastating when people don’t see my bad moments and how half the time I’m incapable of living life.
What i was thinking the whole time. People don't understand people can get bigger due to EDs or their environment. i remember hearing a story of a woman saying her mom showed her love by food and so she ate all the food to show her mom she appreciate her. this goes hand and hand with parents telling their kids to ea tall the food even if they're full or dont want more which can lead to unhealthy eating habits as adults. you should not judge someone for their weight, they may be going through stuff and judging them and shaming them won't do anything.
I'm not at a healthy weight, but I do want to start my journey as I'm not far from a healthy weight but being put down by my own dad ruins my motivation. i had starved myself multiple times and i had lost 30 pounds (1-3 pounds per week) when i was barely eating. negativity can hurt even if they think they're doing you a favor.
my boyfriend tells me I'm not fat and I'm beautiful. i appreciate him so much but i know not healthy, and i want to be leaner for my happiness and health. I've been having hard time with anxiety where i cant eat and it all. and its been affecting my eating as well as i use sweets to cope sometimes.
They literally do that to bigger people as well.
I knew a kid growing up, who would eat 4+ sandwiches in one sitting while I ate my one. It took us the same amount of time, too. I always just assumed he had a weird-ass metabolism. I hope he was okay. Thinking about you, buddy.
I usually eat very little and I have had friends who can easily eat 2x or 4x as my portions. It is definitely possible, thought unlike this girl their bodies reflected that. They were way bigger than me and very muscular. I hope your buddy was someone who could just eat a lot more and did not have an underlying issue ❤
I think age may have been the factor there. Growing kids sometimes need a lot of fuel.
My son can do that. He is 16 and 6’ 2”. He can easily eat a whole large pizza on his own and he’s thin as a rail. If he played sports I know it would be 10x worse. Growth spurts and teenager boys in general usually eat way more than more. Well into mid twenties too though usually the metabolism slows down. He doesn’t have and ED he’s just trying to feed his vastly growing body. This could easily explain the kid you’re talking about also.
That sounds normal though, kids can eat a lot. Especially boys eat a lot in their growth spurts.
@@josefinarivia I was also a kid though, having growth spurts
As someone that suffered with anorexia and bulimia this really comes across as a binging behavior. I use to eat large amounts of “bad foods” or “good food” and throw up after or I would chew the food and spit it into a cup. I use to chew and spit foods a lot and even got so sneaky with this behavior I would do it at the dinner table with my parents. And they never did or said anything about it. I’m not trying to diagnose anyone or shame anybody. But these really are disordered eating behaviors no matter how you put it. Sure it very possible she can eat that much and doesn’t gain weight because her metabolism is insanely fast or she is very very active. But anyway you slice it eating in this way isn’t healthy physically or mentally.
I always appreciate the way you handle these ‘controversies’, Jamie. I’m tired of people getting worked up about crap that doesn’t matter to them personally. You don’t like someone? Don’t like their content? Don’t comment. Be mature, move on with your life. Life is happier when you stay in your lane and treat the people you meet with kindness. Can anyone control this girl? No. All you can do is control yourself so why you be stressing? Positive vibes, man.
I do think it's best to speak up against content that can be harmful. Aside from the whole is it healthy or not, this is incredibly wasteful and should not be normalized or promoted. I don't get how people can watch this and think this it OK while other people are starving and animals are being killed like factory work. I'm sorry, but I do not see the positive vibes in that.
Excuse my English, I'm European.
It's just as dismissive to claim each individual doesn't feel personally effected or have real concern as it is to say someone's jealous. If you don't know that person, you don't know if they are concerned for the right reasons or not. I think saying live and let live is the best bet when you have a large fanbase and you don't want to upset too many people and be as least "offensive" as possible. No hate towards Jaime, I just prefer to listen to this kind of discourse when it's been thoroughly researched (not just the channel, but different EDs and how this might be promoting that). Same with the water tok. Sure it's harmless on the surface, but when I work in healthcare and I watch people I care for suffer because they cannot drink regular water to save their lives, yea.. I care a whole lot about the idiocracy on tik tok n in society.
I 100% agree. This whole narrative that her doing this could “be harmful” and “make people feel bad” is not her responsibility. Everybody eats. She happens to apparently eat a lot. There are tons of WIEIAD vids on TH-cam. If people are calling or harmful and making all these assertions about her they are clearly projecting their own insecurities.
@@racheljane_ Nobody has a metabolism like that. Nobody. Not her, not anyone else. She eats 20k+calories a session then flaunts how her body dosnt change. Its not possible. She's either gaining and getting it sucked out, doing multiple sessions a day and puking it up, or spitting it out. She ADDS the calorie intake in the description Each 10,000-20,000. Dont be naive.
As a thin person who has had cancer and inflammatory diseases like arthritis, I don’t want to see anyone eating pounds of fast food or drinking too much, or any other unhealthy habit. 🤢 You can be thin and still die young from heart disease or a fatty liver. Why would we want to watch people eat anyway? To be clear, though, I still like watching Jaime talk about it. 😂
Glad you're a survivor! Agree!
I like putting on a mukbang when I'm cooking to be in the "hungry spirit" without watching a recipe that will distract me too much haha
Super glad you're hanging in there! Hope your journey is gentle 💐
Woah I hope you are okay now!!! You are so right that healthy food is important for everyone not just fat people.
Thank you for speaking the truth about what junk food does!!! Wait til she’s 50 🤦🏻♀️ ugh there’s nothing to envy there about her eating so bad!
My mom was a junk food addict, and I hinted to her that she was putting herself in danger. I was afraid to really confront her. One day she came home with 2 dozen donuts, there are only the two of us in the house, and I don't eat donuts.
That night I took the donuts down to the river, had a cry, then threw them all in the river one by one. The confrontation was eminent now.
She was super pissed and didn't talk to me for weeks. A couple of years later she developed heart problems from high cholesterol and had a stroke. She then told me that she understood why I did it.
That was my actual mother though, and I don't believe random people on the internet that say things like they are "concerned about you because I care about you". That's total bullshit.
I used to have a girlfriend who could eat a lot and still stay thin. She didn't eat as much as baby dumpling, but still. Of course, once she hit her 30's she couldn't eat like that anymore cause it did to her what it does to almost everyone else, puts on the pounds. Babydumpling reminds me of those rare people who can do eating competitions and not show it. My perspective...Babydumpling should enjoy it while she can, because she will eventually hit that age where she can't keep the pounds off anymore and will have to modify her content a bit.
The first question I had, before I got to that part of your video, was "I wonder if she has a purging part of her cycle." Binging is really unhealthy either way, but purging is generally unhealthy in a different way (dissolved teeth, digestive problems). Both also relate to serious psychological issues.
My question further along is, "Why do people WANT this to be genuine?" I really don't get it. Don't eat that way. She's probably faking or purging, but you don't have to know which it is to know that you don't want to eat that way. Food addictions are addictions.
"You don't have to know which it is to know that you don't want to eat that way" THAAAAT PAAAART!!!
That's all that matters. For whatever reason she is doing this and it's working for her, it won't for most of us, and that's just that.
Mukbangs just disgust me because of this. It's just gross.
Even if she had a fast metabolism, her stomach would stick out like a beer gut because there is no way that much food would not be visible in her stomach.
Yeah I mean it's gotta go somewhere :/
Yeah, there are some things that make me question wtf she is saying she’s eating vs what she is saying she’s eating. Yeah, right. Not sustainable even at 24. Please, girl. This is some
Weird fetish sh*t going on…
I think she's sharing it with others.
@@RedRoseSeptember22I was thinking the same
She could be wearing shape-wear.
I love watching ErikTheElectric! He exercises like crazy to be able to eat like that. He eats extremely healthy pretty much every day of the week, and then films his challenges one day a week. He films the whole process.
he has such a wholesome content, i love him
Yeah! he does cycling so he utilises the challenges to burn all that energy he consumed. Cause I know for cyclists they eat a lot of carbs for the amount of cardio they do.
I would watch him sometimes but it made me kinda sad coz he has spoken about being anorexic in the past, so to me this just looks like exercise bulimia and his whole world still kinda revolves around food.
He's still not eating 50k calories at once. It just cannot physically be done, as in the laws of physics wouldn't allow for it. I'm sure he still eats a ton, but what gets advertised is like a 10x exaggeration.
Honestly, the most disturbing thing to me about all of this is that there is an audience for this and it’s probably mostly young, impressionable viewers who’s (ir)responsible adults aren’t monitoring their viewing habits or screen time and who aren’t as educated on healthy eating habits or nutrition. As a parent of a pre-teen and a teacher, I just really am not a fan of Tik Tok at all.
I myself do not use TikTok and would never let my kind use it for as long as they live in my house.
I have the same wish! I used to be able to eat like this tiktoker when I was in my teens - early 20’s. I never exercised intentionally & easily maintained a 19.5 bmi. I ate pm the entire menu every time I ate out. I used to get 2 entrees when my bf & I went out on dates. When we ordered pizza, I’d eat an entire extra large pizza, a tray of pasta & half the dessert all by myself.
But looking back, I also ate very little about half the week without realizing. Half the days were eating 5000+ cals, half the days were eating 1000 so my weight was easily maintained. It wasn’t intentional - I was just following my hunger cues and the youthful metabolism boost definitely helped.
That all changed when I turned 25. Suddenly I couldn’t eat like that anymore. I had to exercise?? And watch what I ate??? Ugh! I think it’s partly genetic bc my dad had the same experience. It’d be such a dream to eat like my younger self again as I age while maintaining the low weight I had.
Tbh, I’m never impressed by these large appetites + small bodies unless they’re over 25 because the metabolic changes are real and hit hard.
My metabolism hit the wall at about 32 after I had my fourth kid. I agree. It's really hard to get used to.😢
I've always been a bigger girl (before I started working out) but my younger sister was the opposite until about 26. Now she is the size I used to be before I started walking 3+ miles a day and watched what I ate.
I agree not to mention what it does to your health as you get older. And you get pregnant you get to see consequences whether you’re thinner or not.
And that is the magic logic people omit from their bad understanding of how weight gain and loss works. No one has magic metabolisms. It's almost all CICO and there's not much more to it than that, other than some disorders and water retention which don't contribute that much to the mystery people have so much trouble understanding.
Mine hit me like a fucking ton of bricks at age 35. Seriously I ate donuts every single day + 2 packages of M&M's in a day & weighed 135lbs for all of my 20's. Now at 37 I eat like 4 extra almonds & gain 3 lbs.
Bulimia.
I'm glad you mentioned this. I was thinking about it recently, there are a ton of tockers who basically have the same personality that shove their face with cute "everything I ate in a day" videos
My boyfriend use to eat like this when he was doing cross country and gymnastics at the same time. So he needed a lot of calories for the activities.
Some people have crazy high metabolism, but eating that much junk in one sitting would still hurt their stomach.. 🤷♂️
It also grossed me out to see that much food “eaten” by one person.
This is how I feel when I exercise for even 20 minutes. I usually have to eat a meal before and right after exercising otherwise I feel like I am constantly STARVING and will lose weight too fast
Also, like, what does their bloodwork look like? You can be thin but what about A1c, tryglicerides, cholesterol... For me personally I had issues with weight, but never bloodwork until I hit 30. And then it hit like a truck.
That's what I'm saying! How is her stomach not super angry at her all the time! Freaking vegetables make my stomach hurt!
@la6136 you should try less carbs and more protein, i don't process a lot of grains or carbs properly and would be fully starving an hour after eating
@@Cove_Blueliterally same! look up cruciferous vegetable intolerance if it's things like broccoli, cauliflower, kale etc that hurt
TikTiok is nothing but weirdness and bad advice. But i will admit that sometimes there are some interesting gems that don't necessarily affect another's thinking or wellbeing.
It's possibly worse than Reddit advice. It's almost to Yahoo answers levels of bad.
The algorithm is a reflection of what you watch so if you’re watching garbage all day, garbage is what you’ll be fed.
This is why ticktock shouldn’t be watched by kids or teenagers
@@longlivebeans thank you😂 I've never been more informed and connected to reality until I downloaded tik tok. All I get is very helpful things and if it's not I scroll and the algorithm understands.
Jaime, I love your content. I binge on it. I have high anxiety and when I need a calming distraction I watch (and rewatch) your episodes. You're my comfort TH-camr.
As a teen and in my 20's I used to have a super fast metabolism, on top of disordered eating ( didn't eat half of the day because of anxiety, and then ate as much as I could once I felt comfortable with my surroundings ). When I hit 32 the disordered eating didn't go away but my metabolism changed. It has been an odd journey on this side, having different reactions from people concerning my weight being more.
Girl I felt this!!!
Man when my ED was at its peak I lost like 30 pounds in about a month and everyone told me how good I looked. Like… I would not eat for days and then when I did eat would immediately throw up from anxiety.
Didn't you get low blood sugar from. Not eating.
@adammackenroth2864 people do this kind of a thing on purpose called intermittent fasting. Your body starts to get used to it over time. Some (who are mentality well) feel they get many benefits in their health.
Unfortunately as a teen I starved myself so as soon as I started eating more at 18 bam! 100lbs.
honestly i kinda agree with the fatphobia thing because on tiktok i got bullied for talking about being vegan and everyone insisted there was NO way i even ate vegetables 😭😭😭
Heavy set mostly vegan girl here, and I absolutely have had this. Like they imagine fat people are only sitting around eating twinkies. I'm like when was the last time you had a brussel sprout?! I eat way more veggies than my friends.
Veganism ≠ Health
There are plenty of ultra processed foods out there, that just so happen to be vegan. People seem to forget that chips and Oreos are vegan.
All of the times that my vegan sister had visited me, she had nothing but ultra processed stuff to eat. Every time she came back from the grocery store, it was some sort of frozen meat alternative product or chips and ice cream. Not once did she eat a veg or fruit while she was here.
BRO! I hate people 😭 I’m so sorry
I went through this in high school
Fellow vegan here and the stereotype of vegans being skinny REALLY needs to go away. My weight barely changed in the last 5+ years for me.
I'm literally going on a binge of your channel right now, because the way you be having me CRYING LAUGHING!!
My issue with this is at the height of my ED I was watching this kind of content OBSESSIVELY. I still get sucked in to it sometimes and it makes that part of my brain go insane.
Makes sense. When I was a huge alcoholic I would search out content of people acting the same as me. It would make me feel better to know there were people in the same boat or worse. Trying to normalize my behavior.
I had an ED off and on for 10 years. I know the struggle. I hope you are at a place now where you can enjoy your relationship with food. Sending you all the good vibes. 😊
Wow, Thats actually scary. Please dont allow these videos to trigger you to start the unhealthy ed again. Just be careful. I dont know you but I wish you well.
I have heard that a lot of mukbang creators have binge/starve behaviour (where they don’t eat all day/for many days and then eat really big portions all at once bc they are so hungry, and then go back to not eating due to guilt from the binge), rumination disorder (where they chew and spit without swallowing) or bulimia. I think the idea of shaming these people who have these issues is not a very nice thing to do, or very productive because many eating disorders are rooted in feelings of shame. I do think that eating disorders and the internet are a really dangerous combination for both the creators and the viewers, and I’m not entirely sure what the actual solution would be other than for people who are legitimately concerned to just block these posters and give them less attention, positive or negative.
I have bulimia n recovering. I find myself with worsening symptoms if I catch myself watching too many of these. Especially with the dessert ones. If I didn't have sweets or avoided them, I would watch hunnie b asmr or others for my sweet tooth. I'm also trying to cut back on sugar n noticed I'm actually losing weight healthily and I'll very rarely watch them anymore. I don't talk about this a lot. It feels embarrassing a bit, lol😅
@@caitlyntilson good on you for working on your recovery! it’s so important to recognize your triggers, and it sounds like you’re doing your best to find healthier behaviours. peace and love 💕
@@milo-ru3hc thank you so much!!! I just want to say I haven't had a full bulimic episode since January 2022! I do get triggered and my eating habits are still not great, I have counseling and physical therapy. I'm doing yoga at home and eat smaller meals, avoid heavy snacking, and I'm slowly losing weight. I am overweight, due to health and medicinal reasons and I have been for a few years. It got bad though in the past two or three years and Covid being an issue with gyms closing or being too expensive, I've been trying to work out slow at home. Physical therapy has really helped, because I developed a physical issue with my neck and it's effect on my back, so it's helping!
I completely agree….even if they’re not purging, binge eating is still an eating disorder.
I love when your editor pops into your videos 😂❤ I also super love your sweet little birb 😭🫶🏻🐦
This is my personal theory: she started posting these videos as a joke. She thought "oh I should do a goofy parody of one of those 'what i eat in a day' vids," but then it ended up going viral so she thought, what if I could recreate this? And as time went on, she just kept faking vids in order to keep her success.
So, you don’ think she is actually eating all the food everyday?
@@projectalyceshes gonna have to do a livestream of it really
@@projectalyce no -- please do not believe everything you see online, or in an ad, or in a movie. It is really REALLY easy to fake. And people want views, want money. The entire advertising industry is based on what you can fake in a few seconds to a few minutes on a video. Literally.
I think that too. Or some metabolic disorder. 🤷🏼♀️
I ate three family-sized pizzas in one go while I was significantly underweight (I had been hospitalised for anorexia just before)---- It was to 'prove' I was eating. The thing is, I only ate in front of people and would often only eat some of the meal, then not eat again. I would be surprised if she was eating everything regularly...even with a fast metabolism, this would cause a lot of weight gain, unless it was very temporary
If you went through that then your stomach must have been small, and then with 3 pizzas down 💀💀 you had to have not felt well after eating that :/
@@johannasweet1120you would be surprised how much you can eat when you have extreme hunger.
Nothing about your comment makes sense. 😂😂😂😂 If you were anorexic and just got out of the hospital from being so thin, there's no way you can eat three pizzas! First of all your stomach would be too small. And second, if you really struggle with an eating disorder, then you would know that you have to start off small. You can't just eat three large pizzas! Your body can go into shock and your heart could have a heart attack!!
This comment is ignorant and full of lies!! 😂😂😂 Stop trying to be relatable! It is not working!! 😂😂😂😂
Saying you have an eating disorder just to try and fit in or get recognition online is disgusting. Eating disorders are the most deadliest mental disorders in this world! Trust me, you do not want to have this disorder! You should be thanking god. Not trying to get thumbs up from people by lying. It's sad and pathetic behavior. 😂😂😂
Honestly i’m so happy that i can’t eat that much even when binging, it saves me so much money.
Not every content creator is as honest and kind as you are, Jaime. Love how you give the benefit of the doubt to anyone! ❤
Someone close to me started watching these mukbang videos and became OBSESSED WITH THEM. Within a month, this person developed an eating disorder that was so powerful, it nearly put them in the hospital. Months of therapy later, this person is doing better much to my and other people's relief. It's been over a year, and while there is still lingering problems from the effect of these videos, it sounds silly to hear someone else say that these videos can have a negative effect on others, but it is true!
Really? Damn...
what kind of ED / how did it manifest? that's terrifying. I'm glad they're doing well and have a healthy foundation and support now.
@@kittygoesWOOF I actually know a lot of people with anorexia that watch mukbangs are using the videos to keep themselves from eating. They basically pretend like they are eating what the mukbanger is eating, in their head to kind of suppress their appetite. People use these videos to inspire themselves to diet, I guess some people also get so disgusted by the amount of food on camera that it makes them sick and not want to eat. so in terms of what kind of ED? It depends on the person but a lot of people use these videos to harm their own eating patterns.
That's crazy! I also watch mukbangs, but when I get urges to eat more than my usual intake of food after watching a video, I avoid it for some time until the urge goes away. I don't hv any problem doing it this way.
I hope your friend is doing well.
For me it works totally opposite. I can eat much less when I see a person who have eaten a lot. This is kinda strange, but it works for me. For example, I can make a nice dinner and if I will be alone I will consume a lot of that. But if someone will eat it with me and enjoy it, I can have few bites for try and I do actually feel full, I don't want to eat anymore. So, when I see a person who eats a lot, I don't feel my hunger, because my eyes say "oh my, that was a lot of food, we are full".
I’m just upset at those who fake it because it’s such a waste of food
I hate expelling my food. my one food wish is that I didn't have to use the bathroom and that it just magically disappeared or like absorbed into the atmosphere or some shit. goodbye 4am night piss.
The amount of money she spends in a day has to be astronomical! Also, hopefully this poor girl is actively seeing a doctor to monitor her health. In 10 years I really hope she’s healthy and happy.
In 10 years that metabolism is gonna slow down fr fr...
@@Shyknitthroughout your life your metabolism stays generally the same. When you get older you stop moving around as much and start sitting all day.
I’m not going to lie, when the birb came into the picture, I was only focused on it after.
I just find it gross that anyone speculating about an ED would proceed to mock shame or attack her for it. That’s shitty behavior, and will trigger anyone else who sees that kind of talk who is currently dealing with an ED. Mockimg/Shaming her for the possibility won’t ‘spread awareness’, just harm. im glad you approach these conversations with empathy.
I think it’s shitty of her to trigger ppl with ED
@@BerryationsI agree with you.
@@BerryationsWhile having an ED is terrible, it's not her responsibility to make sure someone is not triggered. The triggered person should block her so they will not see the content in the future, and keep themself safe.
Exactly!
@@lillysparrowright that’s not fair to blame her for that
There is no way she is eating all this and not either spitting it out or throwing it up. Hopefully if she does have an eating disorder she gets help.
Yeah this
It also is never a full video showing her chewing swallowing and finishing the plate. It's all cuts and bites, nothing more
The fact that she can seemingly that much and keep a figure like that was my immediate thought as well. Even if she does have a great metabolism, it slows with age and eating junk food catches up with you later in life, not only in potential weight gain but other health problems. I had metabolic age of 14 years when I was in my 20s, now in my 30s I have to watch my diet.
I wanna stay young now-
@@Filthy_Furry_Sorrow Getting older is great in its own way, though. You're so much wiser, more confident and I actually enjoy life much more now, so youth is great and all but ageing is a privilege.
I would be worried she has hyperthyroidism or that she will be diagnosed in the future.. or possibly bulimia. None of my business though, there's a reason I don't have TikTok lol
As someone who used to have an eating disorder, I sadly would chew and spit my food out. I was able to be 102lbs by eating what she consumes and at that volume. And folks, this is exactly how she does it too. You rarely see her swallow the food.
Luckily, I don't do this anymore and a healthier weight. Don't do this!
I think its pretty obvious babydumpling is usually with friends a/o a partner who are probably sharing the food after she takes the first bite. She's getting that money. If people want to participate in the conteoversy, they're contributing to it.
Jaime my kid noticed that for all her cuts her hair and makeup changes so she could be filming different days and editing it together. Thanks for the laugh 😂
What annoys me the most is if she was fat then people would be raging and constantly telling her how unhealthy they were. What she "eats" in a day is insane and incredibly unhealthy if she is actually eating this, why is no one concerned about that?
There used to be a semi-celebrity in Japan called Gyaru Sone who, while being a small Japanese young woman, could put away the same amount of food. She used to say, she didn't eat like this everyday, and the food would come out straight "as is" (I mean not digested), that's why she stayed very slim.
She has a cooking TH-cam channel (in japanese) where she cooks and eats normal amounts of food now! 😊
Yuka Kinoshita eats like this in her videos, she uploads quite regularly and she is quite small and thin. I think it's witchcraft.
Sounds like she is using laxatives.
It’s absolutely impossible for food to come out “as is” without having a very severe medical problem. The moment food touches your saliva it begins breaking down. Then your digestive juices get to work, as well as traveling through 15 feet of intestines. Even ostomy patients have their food broken down to non recognizable 💩
Not that it matters, but don’t believe everything someone on TH-cam says 🤷♀️
@@skankfaceBECCASome people have malabsorption disorders, not a result of laxatives just legit medical health conditions. Given what OP said, that’s what it sounds like if you don’t immediately assume the worst about people.
Love your calm demeanor, research methods, humor & kindness overall.
"This is not a perfect world" = understatement of century!
Ngl a big reason I listen to your videos is how soft your voice is. Its so comforting!
I will say Eric the Electric is very upfront about how much activity he has to do to maintain. I always think hell no, if I have to do all he does I'm going to stick with this one serving. Dude basically lives on his bicycle.
I came here to say this. Shane Dawson interviewed him recently on his podcast and I liked Eric so much I checked out his videos.
Yeah, he's also been very open about his history with anorexia and does get a lot of criticism from people accusing him of having a (exercise subtype) purging disorder
As someone whose been on both (extreme) ends of the eating spectrum, body building can allow you to eat a basically constant stream of food. My boyfriend and myself are both bodybuilders and we we eat TONS, constantly. But even he could only eat about half or even a third of what she does in a meal, with a cal target of almost 5000 and protein of 170 g.
But when you eat massive amounts of food, dont you get a big belly? (Like a food baby) because she doesnt seem to get one
Friend of mine is 'bulking' right now and, even though he is a tall guy, it is sooo much food and he doesn't get fat because he is using it for the gym lol
@@Dunika I mean I do. Scientifically, you can’t actually stretch your stomach to be bigger - that’s a myth- your body just learns to process food faster. So when I stuff myself I always get a food baby, it may be gone in 20 mins rather than the hour it used to take, but your body can only hold so much. Now, I will say…if we add time to the whole equation, and your body begins to digest as you continue to eat, I think you could probably get away with eating a bit more. Depends person to person.
Step 1: go out to eat with a group of friends
Step 2: film yourself eating a bite of everyone's food
Step 3: ???
Step 4: profit, apparently
Jaime asked for it so here it is: I had to guess some portion sizes and take her word on the rest but the sushi mukbang is approximately 6,947 calories
That said, I think the most innocent explanation behind her inconsistencies is she’s lying about the portion sizes she’s eating. I don’t watch her stuff but maybe she’s only actually eating a small percentage of the food she shows on camera
I had that thought too, what if she is just eating a bite of everything lol, literally JUST the part she films and not touching the rest?
That’s my thought too. Maybe a bite of eat n she finishes her fave
@hollieheru-highvibelife9635 but doesn't she have a youtube?
From what I've heard and as you can see in most of the videos shown here she only shows herself taking one bite of each thing so unless she shows herself eating all that stuff EVERY time I'm calling 🧢
I saw a few people on TikTok say they've seen her throwing out all the food. She takes like 1-2 bites and spits it out and throws it out. Idk if it's true but I've seen a few videos and comments saying this.
She is either fasting for days before and/or after, purging, or.....
There was a pretty well-known girl on YT years ago (who I won't name for fear of people messing with her), who outright said she spat stuff out when she was questioned. She tasted various snacks from her country, and described what they were like. She wasn't even eating the entire (small) portion, and she stated very clearly, at least once, that "you don't have to swallow to taste it", and that she spat stuff out.
My friend is really skinny... She says there are some days that she is so hungry and can eat a lot but other days she hardly eats anything. It's def a metabolism thing.
Every new Jamie video is such a gift ❤️🙌
Agreed!!!!
Right! I click so quick 😂
She’s my favorite TH-camr 😊

One of my best friends was a professional body builder for a while & he ate 10K calories everyday. What he ate though was mostly healthy but high in fats. he spent around 4-5 hours in the gym everyday
Thank you lol
Being on prescription amphetamines greatly changes someone's metabolism.
A big reason those meds are abused.
It’s not so much that it changes your metabolism, rather it KILLS your appetite and makes you move around more on top of it, more so when you don’t actually medically need it.
What people should really do is fight for her to go on a Competitive eating contest! To see if its actually true
Hey Jaime! I just wanted to stop by to let you know that your reaction content has been really fun to watch lately and you bring a positive and balanced viewpoint to the genre. I also just wanted to say that I REALLY appreciate your recent willingness to criticize where you feel it appropriate - you're not being mean, you're bringing up valid points, and you're doing it as delicately as possible while still being able to say "hey, something isn't right". Of course you're going to get backlash no matter what but I'm super happy it isn't discouraging you. Thanks for the great content and can't wait to see what's in store! 😊
Honestly every single time there is like a controversy i always wait for u to post a video about it because you always make an unbiased view on both sides and its just amazing
I love getting a notification that you posted a new TH-cam video! Being a disabled, poor broad stuck at home due to my health issues, your videos are the highlight of my days! ❤
Hang in there, love! 🫶🏼
I'm hangin on by a thread lol. Thank you 🥰
I did know a girl in middle and high school that chewed her food and spit it out. She never tried to hide it. She freely admitted that she didn't want to get fat. Its not unheard of!
That's an ed.
I think it's called ruminating disorder or something similar
It's called "tasting your food"
It's a less practiced eating disorder.
I had a binging disorder, and to help me stop eating so much, i started to just chew my extra food I didn’t need to be eating and spit it out. It would help satisfy my cravings without putting me in pain. I have good eating habits now but just throwing it out there
They showed this in a show called Dare Me
Thank you for saying ‘healthy weight’ instead of ‘skinny’. So many people don’t understand there is a huge different between that.
Unconditional permission to eat was the key to maintaining my weight. I learned this approach from intuitive eating, and what's interesting is when my only standard for what I eat is whether I really like eating it... it really improved the quality of what I ate over time. And I didn't feel like I was constantly at war with food. Life changing.
My initial thoughts are how easy it would be to eat part of things and then feed the rest to my two brothers off camera, lol!
My thoughts too
Yes!! Eating small bites but not finishing, that's what I've started wondering about these "what I eat in a day" videos...
Erik the Electric is also an iron man, just to let you know. Plus he also has before and after weigh ins, and shows his abs vs. gut after. Additionally he shows you in some clips how he exercises after a big eat. That's why people appreciate him, he shows everything, and you can see how sick he gets during the progression of a massive mukbang. So he doesn't hide anything.
I watched a few of his videos and it's wild how much food he's able to eat. I truly would not be able to do it. It helps that he's not doing that every single day and that he works out before and after and even during.
@@julianlaresch6266 yeah it hurts to see how much he eats.
I appreciate how genuinely objective you are, Going in all directions.
15:44 - I’m with you there Jamie. As an eating disorder survivor, and someone who has been at both very low and high weights, I have a hard time with the word being “reclaimed” now.🙄
Agree!!
It's really up to the individual people. It's like any other slur or dergotory term, the people that it goes against have the personal right to either claim or reject it. Many plus size people use the term "fat" for themself because they don't find it to be a bad word, but many also don't like it and prefer othee terms like "bigger bodied," etc. If you don't want to call yourself "fat," then you don't have to! But some people do and that's okay, too.
@@starsiadraws absolutely agree. I am mixed Black and have lifelong physical and mental disabilities, so I am uniquely familiar with slurs unfortunately. I‘ve found certain ones are harder to get used to hearing used more over time. So interesting how certain words just carry so much more weight…lol 😉
You're so cool Jaime. Love your parrot. My favorite is when you make ads with your parrot. The interaction is so interesting.
I’m sick as a dog right now and you literally just made my day even better you are so talented at making all of us laugh and feel good love you so much!
Get better soon!1. 🫶🏼
I love when you call out people overreacting on the internet. Just love it. ❤
I used to eat whatever I want, whenever I want and stay small. Between my metabolism and working out/walking all the time, it was amazing. Now I dont work out at all basically and ive gained weight
I bet her dentist knows why she can eat so much without losing her figure.
Dentists can spot acid erosion on your teeth that is conducive with a specific ED….or acid reflux…but, typically if someone has acid reflux they’re more open about it…and know it messes up their teeth.
Exactly where my mind went
That and / or laxatives .
She’s going to lose her teeth really young 😐 Purging erodes your gums, teeth, and esophagus.
I'm here for these videos 💚 bringing awareness to the full on ridiculousness of tiktok
Yup, some people go as far as vomiting the whole feast back out, which is not exactly a positive guide to following your dreams, more like a guide to magic tricks.
I get excited for your uploads like I used to for Jenna Marbles. ❤ love your content and sense of humor!
From one Jaime to another, thank you for making us all laugh and escape from the horrors of reality for a bit. 💙
Hell yes thank you!!!
We are living through crazy times. Ppl absolutely LOVE being offended and its getting out of hand!
Honestly, I had a slight eating disorder in college and I ate like this….twice weekly. The other days I would hardly consume anything but maybe a banana and some peanut butter. Seriously. 2 whole days with no food and then binge eating like this. Plus I did a lot of running at the track. I was at my skinniest during this time.
I had a friend in high school who would actually eat a lot like this and hardly gain any weight but she found out she had a heart condition that made her heart work 2x harder. After she got medicated, she instantly gained weight. I guess its possible??? But i dont know...
damn now i wonder if my friend from high school who was deathly skinny looked anorexic but she ate like a dump truck maybe she had something like that
I had a friend who couldn't put on weight who had type 1 diabetes that weirdly didn't get diagnosed until well into adulthood. She gained weight when her body finally got insulin for the first time ever.
Wow that's kinda freaky. I mysteriously got skinny a few years ago and have chest pains a lot. Doctors weren't worried then though. They never seem to be worried about weight loss unless you're scary thin
Her eating like this is unhealthy
I just adore how reasonable and kind you are, besides all of the giggly reasons why I watch your videos.
It's not even how skinny she is BUT how flawless her skin is!
I look at anything greasy, I get launched back to my pubescent, acne days.
I have had a few friends in the past where they were ridiculously thin, and would eat an obscene about of food at school to the point I was concerned they were purging or otherwise, however, I came to understand later on that due to things in her childhood and her genetics she did not choose to be that thin. I'm not sure if it was a humble brag or she was just she was anxious about how she looked, but she hated how thin she was and was looking to gain weight. So yes, some people are just very thin and can eat a lot without purging.
My best friend growing up ate TONS of food and did everything in his power to gain weight, but was always super skinny. My step-dad was the same. Step had problems in his early thirties with cholesterol from all the food he ate (bestie was a vegetarian LOL) and was dead from a heart attack before 60.
My experience shows me that a lot of thin people bingeing online for content have bulimia and purge or starve for days after. I discovered this even before mukbangs surged during quarantine; started when some youtuber came out in the hospital with why they stopped doing those videos (they had a hole in their stomach from previous non-necessary illegal weight loss surgery and so never felt full) and it took me down a rabbit hole of binge mukbangers with eating disorders. I stopped watching stuff like that but I see these people on my recs sometimes. Of course I would never ask any one of these current content creators about it or put speculations in their comments (if I watched binge eating mukbang in the first place) because that’s their battle if there is one. It’s not any of my business-I’m not their doctor or therapist or family. I just don’t encourage it by not watching it to begin with. It probably doesn’t make a dent on their page but at least my conscience is clear. I’m not sure what other people get out of binge videos to be so particular about swallowing etc, but I do know a lot of people with eating disorders or restrictive diets live vicariously through these videos (or use them to soothe their guilt) so maybe that’s it? 🤷🏾♀️ In general, I just wish people would stop putting the well-being of themselves and others at risk for content all across the board. I only watch one food review person and he doesn’t usually overeat, and he usually stops when he’s full. Better than me; I still struggle with my own disordered eating so take responsibility for myself by minding the media I consume. I feel like people should enjoy food and try new foods and that’s what mukbangs and What I Eat videos should be about-not pushing your body to limits or shocking people. It’s very easy to compare yourself to others on the internet so I respect content creators who live their authentic lives and don’t make it easier for viewers to make unfair comparisons by being honest and forthcoming. But we never truly know who someone is behind the screen, so just watch what makes you feel good and improves your own life I say.
I wouldn't have thought it was possible before watching Beard Meats Food channel. He shows full videos of his massive eating challenges and he is stick thin. I absolutely LOVE your perspective on these types of videos. Balanced, no outrage, just interest.
He still manages his overall calories though, like not eating for a few days afterwards. He said he dieted for quite a while before starting his American tour of challenges, so even though he has a huge amount of calories in one sitting, over the course of a month it probably evens out as something fairly reasonable.
I could speculate about the whys and hows of what her body's doing with it all, but I think you're absolutely right in trying to unravel the "why do we have to watch? why are we mad that other people watch?" angle of these dramas. People decide they know what the trick is, they've called it (loudly! multiple times!) and they're... not done, they're back watching again in their millions. "curiosity killed the cat" doesn't even begin to touch this weirdness, there's not that even much to be curious about but it's trapped everyone anyway. And then the addictive feedback loop of viewcounts keeps creators making the addictive content - it's almost like lovebombing, which in the case of things like bodybuilders consuming 50,000 calories a day that sometimes can be because of muscle dysmorphia (usually men who desperately want to be bigger, associated with a very high suicide rate, and a very low interest in longterm health) is quite an alarming prospect.
I think the projected guilt over food waste is part of the allure generally. food usage obsesses us, it's up there with wealth and status, we want to police it.
I have a crazy big appetite too, but there’s no way I could eat all that without throwing up. I’d wager she throws up a lot after eating all that! I’d be surprised if not.
I love how you are always unbiased and you give all points. So true. It’s unfair for both the thin gals and the thicker gals.
Life is unfair. People will always have opinions. Take them or leave them.
I just want to say thank you again for keeping me entertained while I am recovering from surgery. My only complaint is that it hurts to laugh and you make me laugh at least once a minute. Much love and light to you, your bird (idk it"s name, my bad) and your hubby
