Here's a break down on what it takes to be a competitive eater.
HOW TO PREPARE FOR AN EATING COMPETITION
According to Eric “Badlands” Booker, getting ready for a contest comes down to four things: capacity, strategy, stamina and a focused mind. Read on for a detailed account of Booker’s pre-game regimen.
CAPACITY: “I train by getting my body used to holding large amounts of food by eating a lot of vegetables. I used to hit a buffet and make the owners nervous, but I’ve found that I can eat vegetables like cabbage, cucumber slices, watermelon and stuff that is low in calories, and it will have the same effect. Or you can drink up to a gallon of water to get your body used to that.”
STRATEGY: “If I’m not familiar with the food as far as eating it competitively, I will get the food. Grilled cheese is coming up. I’ll sit with a couple of grilledcheese sandwiches, figure out which is the quickest way to eat them – maybe I should nibble at them, or dunk them in water, or cut them in half, or split the cheese and eat the inside and then eat the bread. I just figure out what works best for me.”
STAMINA: “I hit the gym. At least two times a week, I hit the treadmill.”
FOCUSED MIND: “The most important thing is to get your mind right for the contest. Make sure you know why you’re there, what you’re capable of and what your opponents are capable of, and you just react accordingly. You’re going against the best eaters in the world, so you have to stay hungry and focused.”
