Summary
- Many 'food influencers' spit out their food off-camera or starve themselves before/after filming
- Influencers shoot weeks' worth of content in a single day, then fast and work out vigorously
- Some take appetite stimulants to appear hungrier during filming
As of 2025-08-07T19:01:53+00:00, a disturbing trend has emerged in the world of food influencing on social media. Many so-called 'food influencers' have been exposed for not actually consuming the vast amounts of food they showcase in their viral videos.
According to a recent investigation, these influencers often spit out the food off-camera or simply starve themselves before and after filming. Some even go as far as taking appetite stimulants like antidepressants or steroids to appear hungrier during their filming sessions.
The report reveals that influencers often shoot weeks' worth of content in a single day, then fast and work out vigorously in the days that follow. This allows them to maintain their slim, fit appearances despite the gluttonous feasts they portray online.
Experts are concerned that this deception is "normalizing" unhealthy eating habits, especially among impressionable young viewers. The industry is described as "very toxic", with influencers doing "anything to make money" through views and engagement, even if it means misleading their audience.
