A woman who tips the scales at 462lbs (33 stone) has earned an army of online fans by gorging on 10,000 calories a day on camera, while viewers pay to watch her stuff her face with different treats.



Amanda Faye, 25, who lives in Southern California and is a size 26 (UK 22), is part of a fetish community known as feederism; those in the community see eating and weight gain as erotic.

But far from just participating in the community, Amanda has found a way to actually monetize her appetite - by charging viewers per video to see her doing everything from chugging down calorie-laden drinks through a funnel, to jiggling her flab.

'I do stuffing videos, where I eat massive amounts of food, funnel feeding videos, where I funnel down liquids through a tube and weight gain shake chug, where I down large amounts of liquid in little time, so my belly looks even more swollen,' she explained.

Amanda, seen tucking into takeout, was introduced to feederism by a friend in 2016 and is known as a gainer, or feedee - someone who likes the physical act of getting bigger

Size 26 Amanda participates in a variety of videos, from 'stuffing' clips where she eats massive amounts of food, to 'funnel feeding' videos, where she funnels down liquids through a tube

'This is all as well as other fat fetish content, including fantasy talk or playing with my belly.'

Amanda's partner, who she does not wish to name, is an FA or 'fat admirer' and is 100 per cent supportive of what she does.

She once shed 98lbs in a bid to fit in with those around her.

But, after much soul searching, she realized she was more comfortable being big and said 'being fat makes me happy, physically and sexually' - despite the negative comments.

'The negative comments are nothing I haven't heard all my life, or called myself for fun anyway,' said Amanda.

'I get the typical insults - fat cow, Shamu, like the killer whale, or lard a*se. I'm a very positive person, so I generally ignore it, or give a playful comment back.'

Introduced to feederism by a friend in 2016, Amanda is known as a gainer, or feedee - someone who likes the physical act of getting bigger, so either increases their size by overeating, or using padding to make themselves larger.

Amanda revealed that she was shy about feederism at first, but that as time went on, she believed it was her calling in life and eventually fell in love with the community

Amanda won't reveal how much she earns but told how she makes most of her money through paid promotions, on Instagram and Patreon, where people can set up subscription services

There are also feeders, who like to watch others getting bigger and encourage their weight gain.

'I was shy about feederism at first,' explained Amanda. 'But, as time went on, it felt more like my calling and slowly but surely, I fell in love with the community.'

Starting out on Feabie, a social network for feedees and feeders, Amanda then moved onto the micro-blogging site Tumblr, before setting up her own Instagram.

Before long, she had amassed an impressive 50,000 followers.

While she does not wish to disclose her exact monthly income, Amanda revealed that she makes most of her money through paid promotions, on Instagram and Patreon, a site on which people can set up their own subscription services.

Working on a three-tier system, she charges $10 (£7.66) for access to all her videos and photos, $20 (£15.32) for the additional benefit of following her on Snapchat, $50 (£38.30) for a FaceTime call and $100 (£76) for all of the above, plus some additional adult content.

And Amanda has had a lot of interesting questions and requests when it comes to food.

Some of the most popular requests when it comes to the foods people like to watch Amanda enjoying include Taco Bell, burgers and fruit

Amanda said she does get a lot of negative comments, which she tends to ignore, explaining, 'The negative comments are nothing I haven't heard all my life, or called myself for fun anyway'

One of the weirdest requests the 25-year-old has had was from one guy who paid her to eat 13 pears and crack open a coconut to drink its milk while she was half naked on camera

'I feel the most popular food people enjoy seeing me eat is Taco Bell, burgers and fruit,' she revealed.

'One guy paid me to eat 13 pears and crack open a coconut to drink its milk while half naked on camera.'

Typically, Amanda films two to three videos a day for both her Patreon supporters, and those who have submitted specific requests.

She also live streams via Instagram, so her fans can feel more connected to her.

Amanda usually eats around 4,000 calories a day, however this can rise to as many as 10,000 when she is filming, depending on what she has been asked to eat.

The main appeal of the job for Amanda is that it allows her to be creative.

'I love interesting ideas so my job is never boring,' she said. 'Personally, I don't find it difficult to maintain my size for my followers.'

'I'm naturally a bigger girl, so as long as I continue to eat well, I easily stay fluffy and gain for my fans.'

Amanda is body positive, and says 'every body is beautiful' and that people should celebrate every part of themselves - 'from hairy legs to flat tummies and back rolls to saggy breasts'

One of the parts of the job Amanda loves is the fact that she can come up with creative and interesting ideas, so for her, it never gets boring

She also says she doesn't find it difficult to maintain her size for her followers, explaining, 'I'm naturally a bigger girl, so as long as I continue to eat well, I easily stay fluffy for my fans'

While she has endured the odd aggressive, demanding customer, the majority of Amanda's fans are very respectful - unlike internet trolls, who flock to her page daily, leaving nasty comments.

'You really start to flourish as a person when you choose to be yourself, despite all the forced perspectives and idealised characters you're told you should be, in order to truly love yourself,' she explained. 'As long as you're being true to yourself, nothing else matters.'

Undeterred, Amanda has vowed to keep thriving in the fetish market, considering herself as a champion of body positivity.

She added: 'Body positivity is such a controversial topic and no matter what I say, there will always be people with their swords drawn, ready to fight me on this, so I'll keep it simple - everybody and every body is beautiful.'

'There shouldn't be any shame in celebrating that, from hairy legs to flat tummies and back rolls to saggy breasts.'
