Famous Mukbang YouTuber Nikocado Avocado made a successful comeback to the platform on Friday, having lost 250 pounds.
Renowned for consistently sharing videos that have showcased his growing muscle mass, Avocado recently revealed that he has actually been quietly shedding pounds for the past two years. During this time, he has been uploading previously recorded videos to his channel.
"Always thinking ahead, always thinking ahead," the man who claimed to be the top Mukbanger told his followers before devouring another meal on camera.
I am constantly thinking ahead. This has been the biggest social experiment I have ever conducted.
Using a gentle and playful tone, the influencer, whose identity is still a mystery, remarked, "It's captivating, it's fascinating, it's intriguing to watch these confused and lost individuals wander the internet in search of stories."
"They immerse themselves in the narratives, they are shaped by external forces," he elaborated, seemingly alluding to individuals who have criticized him previously.
He compared his critics to ants on a farm, saying they all seem to follow each other.
It's captivating; it's enchanting - all these small customers.
"These individuals who are feeling lost and uninterested are mindlessly following whatever they are instructed to follow," he continued, before unmasking himself as the true identity.
After that surprising announcement, which quickly became the focus of numerous YouTube Shorts, Avocado detailed his strategy.
The man, who is 32 years old, displayed his new physique while wearing a panda mask. He later took off the mask to show that he was the person in the photo.
He looked even slimmer than before starting his online adventures, which have always attracted negative attention.
Today, I woke up from a very long dream and I also woke up from losing 250 pounds off of my body, Avocado, who is 5-foot-6, shared.
Just yesterday, others were saying I was overweight, unhealthy, dull, and unimportant.
Humans- humans are the most flawed beings on Earth,' he went on, specifically addressing the numerous individuals who have criticized his overweight appearance in videos posted a mere three months ago.
"People are consuming whatever they're instructed to consume," he remarked, hinting that the previous few years had been a huge trial as well.
Yes, I have become the antagonist of my own story.
"And you will keep devouring these tales about me," he remarked, emphasizing his message.
Every year, without fail, when I declare online that I am the bad guy.
"Tales that seep and linger, and take root in the minds of the tiny insects," he continued, adding to the drama.
Manipulate the ants. Control the ants. You are the ants.
He mentioned that he recorded a large number of videos in advance, which would be enough to last for two years. As he continued to rise quickly in popularity, he was also losing the weight he had gained.
By now, the YouTuber, who had recorded a large number of videos in advance, went back to his usual routine. He made a huge serving of noodles and ate them all.
In another video posted on the influencer's second YouTube channel, he provided a detailed explanation of how he deceived his almost 4 million followers.
"It's been two years since I last made a video," he mentioned in the clip. The last video he uploaded was three months ago, titled "I'm giving up on my 'weight loss journey.' It's time to gain weight again."
He went on to consume another unusually huge serving of food.
Viewers commenting on the video were amazed by the YouTuber's deceptive tactics, with some questioning if his significant weight gain was part of a clever hoax.
"The Ozempic really put in the extra effort," commented one person, claiming that the influencer used the widely-used weight loss medication to shed some extra weight.
Some people mentioned the last time he shared his food adventures was a few months ago. They commented, 'He mentioned it's been almost 2 years since his last video...he recorded plenty of videos in advance to keep his audience entertained, intrigued, and talking for that entire period.'
Guy is so freaking smart.
The influencer, who used to be slim, gained over 200 pounds in a span of five years instead of seven.
Famous for his funny rants while eating a lot, he said the whole thing was just a test to see how people react.
Currently, the video is the top-ranked on YouTube and has almost 10 million views.
Another person commented: "Everything is so confusing now."
One of the most well-known individuals on the platform, Avocado now resembles the 24-year-old who gained online fame with ASMR eating videos seven years ago, when he was only 150 pounds.
In just a couple of years, his body grew to at least 350 pounds.
While the events were unfolding live, viewers would often point out how the influencer was harming his body just to attract more viewers, as he mimicked the type of videos popular in Korea.
Avocado continued to indulge in his calorie-rich meals, gaining weight despite his intentions to shed the extra pounds later on.
It seems that he achieved more success than he was revealing, as shown by his impressive victory lap reminiscent of Keyser Soze.
At the moment, the video is the top-ranked on YouTube and has received almost 10 million views.
