So what if you ate like one? Obviously the 4000 calories that some of them eat per day would have to be burned off somehow... so it's not likely that the average person could keep up with that regimen. But they might have some secrets when it comes to nutrition. For instance, what exactly do they eat that makes them able to put forth such energy? Do they take special supplements?
