YouTuber Nikocado Avocado, famous for his extravagant mukbang videos, has surprised fans with an incredible weight loss of 250 pounds over the span of just seven months. On September 7, he posted a lengthy video titled “2 Steps Ahead,” discussing his transformation and sparking curiosity on the internet.
In the nearly 25-minute video, Nicholas Perry, better known as Nikocado Avocado, took aim at his critics, calling them “ants” who passively absorb any information they encounter. He embraced the role of the “villain” in his own narrative, claiming it engages his audience. “You will continue to consume these stories about me,” he asserted, “year after year, for as long as I tell the internet that I am the villain.”
The YouTuber’s journey is not new, as he has previously attempted weight loss before this significant change. In 2023, he shifted his content focus to healthy eating instead of binge eating, having already lost about 89 pounds. He has spoken about the difficulties he faced along the way, highlighting the impact on both his mental and physical health. Reflecting on his journey, he stated, “Just yesterday, people were calling me fat and sick. Today, I’ve lost 250 pounds and proven them wrong.”
After the release of the video, many viewers speculated about whether Nikocado Avocado had used the weight loss medication Ozempic, following claims made by others in the online community. Some expressed surprise and concern about the medication’s impact. Avocado’s weight loss has been a long journey, compounded by personal struggles with ADD and OCD, which contributed to previous weight gain as a result of his mukbang lifestyle. Many fans are now intrigued by his shift toward a healthier lifestyle.
