Youtuber Nikocado Avocado lost over 110 kg. The American gained popularity “thanks to” videos that were based on eating extremely unhealthy food. He tested fast food, ordered huge amounts of food from chain restaurants, and his over-an-hour-long videos focused mainly on the consumption of processed products. The lifestyle quickly affected his health – the influencer began to gain weight rapidly and shared his health problems with viewers. Eventually, he was forced to give up walking and moved around using a special scooter. He also admitted that he was classified as a person with a disability.
Nikocado Avocado didn’t give up and came back with a new video in which he confessed that he lost 112 kg. His transformation is astonishing and the process of losing weight took him about 2 years, during which he avoided public appearances. His channel only featured older videos that he had previously recorded for backup. Internet users commented: “Bro gained weight, made a drama, made millions, lost weight and is enjoying life, what a well-written character”, “Let’s be honest. This is what we were hoping for instead of facing his death due to complications caused by his weight”, “He is one step away from becoming a fitness YouTuber”, “The amount of dedication to both lose weight and confuse viewers is unironically impressive. I am impressed”, and “When everyone is canceled, Nikocado has changed for the better, I am proud of you”.
On the X portal, on the other hand, the community is much more skeptical and critical. There are comments like: “Operation for sure”, “Ozempic, here I am”, “He’ll return to his old self” or “Ozempic hits the streets like crack in the 80s”.
