Quotes

“The training that we do as competitive eaters is no different than swimmers or runners or tennis players. We train our muscles. We train our throats and stomachs.”

“People think it’s just going up there and eating dinner. You have to be in shape to compete well. Even at the end of six or eight minutes, you’re tired, sweating, you’re winded. You can’t have extra mass.”

“We get really competitive. There’s money and titles on the line. I love it. As long as it’s working for me, I’ll keep doing it.”

“My first years of eating competitively were miserable. I was dehydrated, bloated, all that stuff. After a few years, I perfected my regimen. Now I know exactly what to do—when to work out, what my diet should look like, how much liquid to drink. People think I’ve got this superhuman metabolism and I eat, like, 8,000 calories every day. It’s not like that. I’m just like everybody else. I work hard to keep in shape. I run. I lift weights. My body has just adapted over the years.”
