Arab Weather - Rana Ali Matar, a young Saudi woman, has become the focus of attention on social media followers thanks to her participation in eating challenge competitions and her ability to eat large amounts of food in a short time. Her experience has been highlighted by supporters and opponents, thus sparking controversy about this type of challenge.

Personal Nutrition Philosophy

In an interview with the media, Rana, a third-year nutrition student, explained that choosing the type of food is a personal decision for the individual, stressing that each person has unique nutritional requirements. She pointed out that every body is different, and that adhering to a unified diet does not make sense for everyone, stressing that the nutritional impact varies according to the surrounding environment of each person.

Rana talked about how the environment affects eating habits, pointing out the difference in eating styles among the residents of Riyadh, Jeddah, and Abha, as the nature of the place plays a role in shaping these habits. She also explained that the type of beneficial bacteria in the intestines is affected by the place, which is reflected in the health of individuals and their food choices.

The beginning of the food challenge journey

Rana began participating in eating challenges in 2022, when she discovered her talent for eating large amounts of food after participating in a challenge with a celebrity, where she won and realized her unique ability in this field. Rana confirmed that she follows the intermittent fasting system as a lifestyle, with balanced meals, and exercises and breathing exercises for meditation to maintain her health.

Regarding attempts to imitate her, Rana confirmed that she does not call on others to imitate her style, and alerted her followers that what she does represents her personal experience only. She also indicated that she avoids foods that may harm her digestive system, such as spicy foods and soft drinks, and prefers to eat in a healthy and balanced way.

Achievements in Eating Challenges

Rana has won several competitions in about seven competitions, and describes the most difficult challenge she faced as eating large quantities of chicken tenders in less than five minutes, while she considered eating shawarma to be the easiest challenge for her.
