"贩卖"暴食症，24岁吃播网红的人生终点

24岁吃播博主陈紫怡于2026年8月17日因低钾血症引发心搏骤停离世1。她从16岁开始因艺考焦虑患上暴食症1，后来将这一疾病作为内容变现的手段，通过在镜头前大量进食和催吐来换取流量与收入1。长期的暴食催吐行为最终导致血钾浓度降至2.3 mmol/L，处于危及生命的重度低钾血症范围1（正常值为3.5-5.5 mmol/L）1。

陈紫怡从19岁开始从事吃播工作，至离世时已从业6年1，在某短视频平台拥有123.8万粉丝1。她于2019年9月被确诊为抑郁暴食症1，身高一米六二，体重在最低的七十斤和最高的140斤之间波动1。她多次在直播中自曝住院补钾的经历1，最后一条直播视频发布于离世前三天1。生命的最后阶段，她出现了明显的精神压力症状，包括"整宿整宿不睡觉"和情绪低沉1。其QQ签名最后一句写道："我并不想做个征战四方的女流氓，可是你们谁也没把我当成个小姑娘"1。

陈紫怡的父亲陈磊表示，"几乎所有的吃播都会低钾、缺钾"，认为这是吃播行业的"默认的规则"1。而医学专业人士则指出，"正常人通过正常饮食就能维持血钾平衡，缺钾最直接的临床治疗手段就是补钾"1。

Chen Ziyi, a 24-year-old content creator known for eating broadcasts, died on August 17, 2026, from cardiac arrest triggered by severe hypokalemia 1. Her blood potassium concentration had dropped to 2.3 mmol/L, well below the critical threshold of 2.5 mmol/L that distinguishes life-threatening cases 1. The normal range for blood potassium is 3.5–5.5 mmol/L 1.

Chen began suffering from binge eating disorder at age 16 due to anxiety over art school entrance exams, receiving a formal diagnosis in September 2019 1. She started creating mukbang content at 19 and maintained the practice for six years, building a following of 1.238 million on a major short-video platform 1. Rather than seeking treatment, she monetized her condition by broadcasting large eating sessions and purging episodes, leveraging the cycle for views and income 1. During her career, her weight fluctuated dramatically—dropping as low as 70 pounds and peaking at 140 pounds, despite standing 5'2" tall 1. Chen disclosed multiple hospitalizations for potassium supplementation during live streams, describing visits to emergency rooms and repeated admissions 1. Her final livestream video was uploaded just three days before her death 1.

The chronic practice of binge eating and purging depleted her electrolytes to fatal levels. Chen's father, Chen Lei, characterized potassium deficiency as an inherent occupational risk, stating that "almost all mukbang creators experience low potassium or deficiency," which he described as the industry's "default rule" 1. Medical experts countered that maintaining potassium balance through normal diet is straightforward for healthy individuals, and direct potassium supplementation remains the standard clinical treatment 1. In her final months, Chen exhibited signs of severe psychological distress, sleeping only sporadically and experiencing emotional depression 1. Her last QQ signature read: "I never wanted to be a fierce warrior, but none of you ever treated me like a little girl" 1.
