Professional Competitive Eater Joey Chestnut has won the Nathan’s Famous Hot Dog Eating Contest 15 times! And he’s a favorite to win this Fourth of July once again. Here’s how he prepares for the contest…
He says he has a specific way he prepares.
”At about 48 hours, 2 days, is my last real meal. And then a normal meal. And then it’s pretty much a cleanse beforehand. Lemon juice, water, a little bit of protein supplements. Then the day of the contest I wake up super early. I’m drinking liquid, doing yoga, doing some burping exercises, and sucking in my stomach and saying alright, there’s room for 15, 16, and 17 pounds of food.”
He says he gains 24 pounds from the contest (which only lasts 10 minutes.) Good luck to Joey and the other competitors!
