I really wish Chantal would let the "you can lose weight doing mukbangs" and "you don't know what I do off-camera" statements die and never utter them again. She has got to get it through her head that one of the meals - one - that she shows herself eating daily would make it very hard for her to lose weight. It doesn't matter if that meal is the only one she eats that day, it doesn't matter if she is doing OMAD, one of those meals is enough to prohibit weight loss.
Though she is so fucking fat that initially eating a "mere" 3000 calories a day would result in some weight loss, that would last for a couple of months at most until her BMR began to lower due to decreased body weight. Unless what she is doing off-camera is 5-10 hours of cardio daily, there is nothing she could be doing to ameliorate the caloric impact of the meals she shows us. She could be eating dry salad, drinking the purest water, cooking the leanest of protein, and she would still be taking in far too much if she ate that in addition to those gorgefests she subjects her viewers to.
For example, here are some variations on meals we've seen her eat this year (and I am sharing these examples mainly because Chantal reads here and I sort of hope she internalizes this and changes her outrage script because god knows the truth of her consumption will not alter what she eats - just maybe she'll shut up about her virtue off-camera as if it matters one iota):
--A large pizza with handtossed crust, extra cheese and pepperoni from Dominos, with two of their prepackaged cups of ranch dipping sauce, and a single 12-ounce Coca-Cola is approximately 3,020 calories. I only included two ranch cups - god knows she likely consumes more than that.
--A McDonald's run for a double quarter pounder with cheese, 6-piece nuggets, large fries and large Minute Maid punch comes to a dainty 1.820 calories. A small packet of special sauce - the size of a sachet of ketchup or mustard - has between 50-100 calories. She gets the equivalent of 4 of those packets per plastic container she orders on the side. She generally gets two of them, which adds a staggering 400 calories, minimum (probably closer to 600 but I'm measuring down). Add in several tablespoons of ketchup and honey mustard dipping sauce for the nuggets for an extra 300 calories and this meal cost her 2,520 calories.
These are just two examples of meals we've seen her eat recently on camera. I cannot even begin to try to parse out all the chicken wings, Chinese food extravaganzas, Indian food orgies, random Italian deliveries and piles of fried chicken she downs because I just can't make myself go back and watch what she consumes.
Chantal is 36, is around five foot one, and weighs a minimum of 400 pounds (probably closer to 450 but who the fuck knows anymore). She has a BMR of around 2,420 calories and because she only engages in as much movement as acquiring food requires, she has a TDEE of around 2,900 calories.
She routinely eats close to her TDEE or even beyond it with a single meal she shows us on camera. Whether or not people can lose weight doing mukbangs is a rhetorical question because it requires too many specific conditions to discuss in the abstract. Of course it can be done but one cannot do it eating like Chantal. But the zany notion that we cannot possibly judge her diet because we don't know what she does off camera needs to stop now because we know she isn't working out enough to offset her binges (she can't - her joints would not tolerate the amount of cardio needed and her panting after the exertion of sitting down is all the proof we need that she does not exercise, other than, of course, just looking at her). And if she eats another goddamn thing that day after consuming her mukbang meals she's gaining weight.
But I don't understand how she has the balls to cling to this ridiculous notion that we can't see the proof of her lies on her body. She's bloated, she runs through an entirely new set of clothes every quarter, she can't tie her own shoes, she can't control her bladder or bowels, she heaves for breath just sitting and talking, she's unclean because she's too large to shower easily. If she just owned what she was doing half the criticism would die and she could make money happily eating herself to death without all the haydurs analyzing her behavior.
Just shut up and eat, Chantal. Stop making excuses and cut out the indignation. We can see you and hear you, and sometimes it seems like we can smell you through the screen. Just let go of the image of yourself as a gorgeous influencer, prancing in Jamaica in a bikini, and enjoy what time you have left with your one true love. All this sturm und drang is pointless.
