Taiwanese media Liberty Times reported on the 10th that 'Japan's competitive eater queen, despite binge-eating in Taiwan, somehow lost weight.' According to the article, competitive eating celebrity Angela Sato is known for her love of Taiwan and has visited Taiwan many times before. Also on the 12th of last month, she visited the country and binge-ate, reporting it on social media. However, the content she posted on Facebook on the 9th of this month has become a hot topic. Angela Sato wrote, 'I gained 4 kilograms as soon as I returned to Japan. I'm worried that if I say this, the people of Taiwan might dislike me. For some reason, I lose weight in Taiwan.' She then, in the comment section, listed the following three hypotheses regarding the reasons for losing weight during her stay in Taiwan. The first is the 'Taiwan Happiness Hormone Theory,' where she suggested, 'just being in Taiwan instantly boosts happiness, a mysterious hormone is secreted, and perhaps fat is burned as a result.' The second is the 'Walking Too Much in Taiwan Theory,' where she speculated, 'in Taiwan, I'm always out and about, constantly walking. Since my activity level increases compared to when I'm in Japan, perhaps that's why I lose weight.' The third is the 'Japan Swelling Theory,' where she stated, 'in Japan, I eat a lot of heavily flavored foods, causing my body to swell rapidly, and perhaps that's why my weight increases.' From Taiwanese netizens, comments such as 'Hypothesis 4: You didn't eat enough in Taiwan', 'It seems our hospitality wasn't enough (lol)', 'If you didn't gain weight in Taiwan, it means we couldn't make you full', 'Whether in Japan or Taiwan, as long as you're healthy and can eat until you're satisfied, that's all that matters', and 'Please come to Taiwan again and eat lots of delicious food' were received.
