For those of you who don’t know Stephanie Buttermore, she’s a fitness influencer who was best known for her insane cheat day videos where she easily ate up to 10,000 calories in one day. If her name doesn’t ring a bell, just think of the fit girl who could sit in her car and finish an entire box of doughnuts by herself. I can almost hear a resounding “ahh” through the screen.
I used to watch her cheat day videos in awe — how could such a small person eat so much? And I thought I had a big appetite! I was so inspired that I even tried her 10,000 calorie challenge for myself. I failed miserably and tapped out at 7,000 calories.
However, behind the smiles in the cheat day videos lay a harsh reality — a side of her she was not showing the world. That she was constantly tired, cold and hungry. She had the ideal body every woman would kill for, but she wasn’t happy. That’s when she decided that enough is enough, she was going “all in”. In essence, she was eating to full satiety everyday with no restrictions. Her main goal was to fix her hunger. She was so tired of feeling hungry and fatigued all the time that she took a leap of faith and bravely started on her “all in” journey. As a fitness influencer, I can only imagine how difficult it must’ve been for her to make that decision. Gaining weight would have massive repercussions on her…
