Healthy eating should be the rule that everyone follows. But humans like to have fun, enjoyment, and sense of achievements with foods.
There are competitive eaters who bet on eating inedible foods or eating the largest quantity of food in a specific time. Leah Shutkever is a British competitive eater who has broken several Guinness world records in food eating.
Leah Shutkever, the competitive eater from the UK
Birmingham-born Leah Shutkever has several Guinness book world titles on her name in competitive eating. She has won the Bicester Bean’s huge food challenge in June 2022.
And what was this challenge? In it, she had to gobble down a huge breakfast in the minimum time. And Leah consumed 8000 calories of breakfast foods in a span of just 8 minutes.

Over and above this, she had five pieces of toast with five portions each of of beans and mushrooms.
Leah breaks new record
The female competitive eater broke the record for eating fastest. Just 2 weeks back, Oxfordshire Cafe in the UK had set a record of eating same amount of food in 12 minutes and 50 seconds.
That record now stands broken since Leah consumed the same amount of food in a mere 8 minutes and 2 seconds. Leah is a social media star on YouTube. She admitted after breaking the record:
“The previous record was so good it made me nervous – I really wanted to beat it.”
“It was a difficult challenge for the time scale that I had to eat it in – it was a huge bowl and there were a lot of beans!”
“It certainly wasn’t the biggest I’ve done – but it was challenging.”

“So, I decided to try one of the challenges he couldn’t complete – a massive dessert challenge – and I set a ridiculous record of six minutes.
