YouTuber Nikocado Avocado Lost Over 100 Kg In Two Years In A "Secret" Weight Loss Journey

Losing weight can be a challenging task for many. Sometimes it takes months to shed those extra pounds. Long hours at the gym and following a nutritious diet speeds up the process. Recently, YouTuber Nicholas Perry, popularly known as Nikocado Avocado, grabbed eyeballs for his secret and drastic physical transformation. Well, the 32-year-old managed to keep his weight loss journey hidden from millions of viewers by uploading pre-recorded videos on the platform. On Friday (September 6), Nikocado dropped a video on his channel titled Two Steps Ahead where he revealed losing 250 pounds over two years, all the while remaining discreet about his plan. 

According to a report by People magazine, Nikocado Avocado calls himself the “King of Mukbangs.” The term Mukbang first originated in South Korea where people eat huge amounts of junk food in front of the camera while interacting with viewers. In the video, Nikocado shared that he successfully passed “the greatest social experiment” of his life. “Today, I woke up from a very long dream, and I also woke up having lost 250 lbs off of my body. And just yesterday, people were calling me fat and sick and boring and irrelevant… and yet I've still managed to stay two steps ahead of everyone. The joke's on you.” 250 lbs is approximately 113.398 kgs, an enormous amount of weight that he was able to shed over the span of 2 years. 

A few minutes into the video, Nikocado Avocado returned to consuming a large plate of spicy cheese noodles, indicating his return to Mukbang. While eating he disclosed the reason for his 2-year hiatus from creating any type of content was to focus on his health. 

In an interaction with NBC News, Nikocado Avocado said that he had everything planned out. The YouTuber added that two years ago, he used to weigh 411 pounds. His current weight is 158 pounds. Elaborating on how he executed the strategy, Nikocado explained, “I have been strategically posting pre-recorded videos for 2 years, on both YouTube and TikTok. I edited the videos so that they would appear recent, allowing me to focus on healing my body behind the scenes. I shaved my head so that people wouldn't recognise me in public. A handful of fellow YouTubers also helped to keep my secret.”

Nikocado Avocado told the outlet that despite everyone making a fool of him for over-consuming food, he was in “total control the entire time”.
