How would putting all of those unhealthy habits into practice at the same time somehow magically make them not unhealthy anymore?

    Haven't heard of the other two, but Beard is someone I subscribe to. What's lost is the spirit of his videos. He tends to focus on the food and the place a lot more, talks and banters with the staff and customers, and just generally focuses on creating an entertaining, funny, high quality video. Somehow it actually makes me hungry watching it, which I can't say the same thing for the scenes in this.

I concede that with the nature of the documentary, people should expect to see people chewing. I would not want to be filmed chewing like that.

    Exercising excessively and/or fasting after a huge binge is a form of bulimia called "non purging bulimia" All of them had similar backgrounds, bullied for being overweight when they were younger and work out obsessively to keep the weight off.

      I had active non purging bulimia in my 30's. I looked extremely physically fit as i ran 1/2 marathons competitively, did team rowing and was a weight lifter. I hid my binging. My binges looked a LOT like their competitive eating. I could binge 10,000 calories easily in one sitting. Then fast and limit my intake until the binge took over again. At the time I weighed 130 pounds. I weigh 130 pounds now, but it is 30 years later and post a lot of therapy and treatment. I no longer binge. And at 62 years old, my physical activity and food intake is reasonable. All of these "competative" eaters seem to have past weight and body image issues.

    The pain in BeardmeetsFood's Adam voice when talking about his father is something deeply troubling about todays world, that a father has to be like that is horrible. We as fathers need to love our sons, and we have to show them they are loved and good enough... So sorry for you Adam, that is not how a father is supposed to act.

      @@bobbyvandyke143 I am so sorry for you. Regarding your grandfather. There might’ve been some physical abuse issues in his past then. You didn’t have the best upbringing I’m afraid and would be well served to work that out before having kids on your own. You’ll understand when you hold your newborn baby in your arms. No problem being loving and disciplined in decipling your child at the same time.

      @@bobbyvandyke143 No it’s not. You treat your son differently than your buddy. What makes you believe that’s a good thing? Your son will become more secure as an adult if he knows he is good enough for his father. Be strict and raise him up to be a better father than you are let him learn from your mistakes and teach him how important respect is for us men but do it lovingly. Remember that all he wants is your approval. It’s so much easier to correct bad behavior if your son knows that whatever mistakes he makes you will never stop loving him. Try it and come back to me if you still disagree. Reading the Bible on what it says about how to raise sons could also be helpful. A lot of wisdom in that book my friend. Did not mean to offend you but there’s a difference between being what you call soft and actually you giving your kid a hug once in a while. God bless from Norway
      Edit If you raise him with the principle of love and respect he will surely see you as his hero and father. Fear of your grandfather like that is not normal friend. Treat him as your son, not your work buddy.

      He doesn't behave like this anymore, we all mature and our personalities change slightly. We also don't know how the producers of the programme asked him to behave, it happens quite often on reality tv shows.

      I’m going to guess the producers of this video either asked him to act like that or edited it in such a way as to make him look arrogant. He seems very caring and humble on his own channel. I love seeing him with his sister.
