Title: The dark secret of Mukbang is
Post by: tp4tissue on Sat, 22 April 2023, 23:03:15
Purging/Bulimia/Laxatives.

Tp4 just ran some numbers, based on a few popular female streamers who have very consistent videos, sometimes more than once a day.

It would be impossible to keep the figures they have while eating that much, that consistently. It's most telling around their arms, where for the vast majority of women, their upper arm gets chubby before anything else. So, if you see a highly consistent mukbang'r with wrist thin upper arms....

Why is it disorder, and NOT exercise. there isn't enough time in the day to burn off that many calories, especially given their extremely low muscle mass and small bodies. The type of food they're eating has a high percentage of calories from fat, which only incurs 2.5% conversion loss to store, vs 20-30% conversion loss to store carbohydrates.

You just figured this out? I thought this was common knowledge since they started. Pretty sure even critikal talked about it.
