The Tragic Transformation of Nikocado Avocado (From 155 to 352 lbs)

so without further ado let's make some mac and cheese here we go [Music] i have gained weight and i don't even know why you guys know my weight's been spiraling out of control because my life is a disaster there's no cure this food's right in your brain i miss the old nick yeah [Music] approximately two weeks ago while sitting in his 2.3 million dollar penthouse apartment nicardo avocado would upload a video weighing himself to his channel with over 2.5 million subscribers 352 i think not his weight of 352 pounds is in stark contrast to his beginning weight of between 150 and 160 pounds when i started mukbangs i was 150 pounds maybe 160. i can't really remember when he was a modest vegan living a fairly simple life in colombia he'd moved there way back in 2014 after meeting his then boyfriend orlan in a vegan facebook group for men but problematically nicocado avocado didn't have much to do in colombia so he began to upload videos of himself to the youtube website playing violin and discussing the many aspects of veganism this is my first ever mukbang mukbang mukbang i actually don't know how to pronounce it but anyways um where he would state that prior to becoming a vegan he considered himself somewhat overweight most people that watch my channel know that i'm vegan i've been vegan for almost four years like another month or two would be like four year mark totally changed my life i used to be opasso i used to be like like this while it was certainly a benefit that veganism helped nicocado lose weight and was assisting him in staying thin as he continued to maintain the vegan diet it would go from a blessing to a curse i rotted a tooth i had low b12 b12 deficiency i developed hypoglycemia i don't know if it's directly related to the veganism but i never had that before at a later date nico carto explained that being vegan had resulted in numerous immediate health issues in addition to this nicocado explained that he found the 2016 online vegan community to be extremely toxic why do vegans have to make everything about veganism why there's so much more to life than veganism and as a result he ended up renouncing his vegan status and leaving the community of vegan youtubers no other community have i ever seen it like this i thought it was the raw vegans but it's just vegans in general on youtube i gotta leave you guys after a one month break the first of many non-vegan mukbang videos would shop on the nicocado avocado channel and while he had made the decision to begin eating meat he would still maintain a relatively clean diet often inclusive of vegetables and rice one red onion carrots minus that green one which we don't use broccoli cauliflower fresh peas nicardo avocado stuck out like a sore thumb as a mukbanger because in the beginning the video type was almost entirely dominated by females additionally nickacada would almost always have his pet parrot sit on his shoulder while he ate the absurdity of which assisting him in standing out from the crowd when discussing his first mukbang video nikita avocado would state my very first mukbang got like 50 000 views in a couple of weeks which was a lot for me at the time and everyone was asking when's the next mukbang which ultimately resulted in the continuation of the series however as mukbangs became the dominant video type on his channel his weight would begin to steadily increase in the psychology of mukbang watching published in january 2020 the study found that the viewers vicarious pleasure demanded a large quantity of unhealthy food to be consumed and from a relatively uninformed outsider's perspective the meta seems to be the bigger the better no one wants to spend two minutes watching someone eat a bowl of cereal the most popular videos go for more than half an hour and include ridiculously oversized portions the reason for which being because it creates connection and possibly even a guilt-free environment seeing other people eat very large portions of unhealthy food messily and open to public for this reason nicocado avocado began to eat more and more in every single video posted to the channel there's 45 here we're gonna see how many we can eat so here we go let's start in addition to this he will begin to swap out many of the clean relatively healthy meals in exchange for fast food seen in examples such as ex-vegan eats burger for the first time in 10 years which was followed by three other fast food mukbangs and a 10 000 calorie challenge seven months after switching to full-time mukbang videos nikicata avocado seemed to naively believe that he'd maintained his original weight of 160 pounds however while doing a mukbang at the heart attack grill in las vegas nicaragua avocado would step on their scale at which point he would be confronted with reality so let's see how much i weigh i don't even know i think 160 maybe 160. weigh yourself here so we're going to step right up that has to be wrong you guys i'm 200 pounds [Laughter] when revisiting the article discussing the psychology of mukbang watching the authors also claim that mukbang videos affect viewers perception of food consumption and thinness because mukbangers who are very thin and slim consumed very large portions of food and did not gain weight which is without a doubt the spell that nicocado avocado had found himself under being a naturally skinny guy who had seen others doing large mukbangs without gaining any weight might have convinced him that he was immune to growing his very own large beer belly but when you're at the point of eating 10 000 calorie meals for your channel your quote-unquote fast metabolism isn't going to be there to save you the problem was that rather than seeing this as a genuine issue and an indication that he might want to slow down on the insane portion sizes nikita avocado would simply integrate it into his content with the goal of gaining more views he would upload two videos shortly after becoming conscious of his weight stating i'm getting fat and i don't know why as well as say hello to my double chin where he would unironically state that he thought it was just stress or water weight and that food wasn't the problem i'm hoping i'm praying that this is just water weight that this is water weight and it comes off in like a week of just not being so stressed because stress is our number one killer that's not our number one killer chips no our number one killer stress also believing that his weight gain was some kind of medical mystery there is a medical mystery going on there is something chemically imbalanced in me i should probably go get my thyroid checked which were both pathetic justifications for the reality being that he was simply eating too much food nicardo avocado concluded the video by stating you better enjoy it while it lasts because i tell you it will not last i i'm gonna find a way to lose this weight however with the same diet the mindset that it was stress or water weight or a medical mystery and yet another 10 000 calorie challenge only three videos later obviously the weight gain continued but it wasn't only his weight that was causing him health problems nicocado avocado would upload a video simply titled i'm too scared to go to the hospital which in true nature of the 2017 youtube algorithm would gain a whopping 21 million views not only did this video further assist in making nickicardo avocado somewhat of a household name but it also showed him that drama and talking about subjects other than mukbanging would still garner an audience as long as they involve drama nicocado would create a playlist or channel subsection literally titled upset feelings where dramatic videos displaying the apparent problems he was having such as specific arguments with his boyfriend often gained substantial view counts nicardo avocado uploaded videos such as what my husband did to me and i'm getting deported stating later that whenever he found himself in a bad mood his first natural inclination was to grab the camera everyone already hates me or i'm already dramatic let me just grab the camera and just like film it so some of them are like really really real for me filming his low points became a regular occurrence on the nicocado avocado channel which unfortunately included his continual weight gain 12 months had passed since his last 206 pound weigh-in at the heart attack grill but it was visually clear that he was now substantially heavier so when asked about his weight in a mukbang q a the result was certainly anticipated how much do you weigh now well do you want to go should i weigh myself in front of you i gotta go get the scale last time i checked it was like 260 it was almost 270 pretty much 268 pounds nicocado avocado was 110 pounds heavier than he had been at the start a weight gain equivalent to the size of an average adult leopard if you were to add another 50 pounds to that his body weight would have doubled since the beginning however nicocada was positive that he would never cross the 300 pound mark and if he did he guaranteed everyone that he would officially make a change i i don't think i will ever be 300 if i am trust me we're gonna make major changes however nicocado avocado hadn't changed his eating habits whatsoever and would simply continue eating larger and larger quantities justifying his awful diet and overeating by stating that his body had some arbitrary stopping point where he apparently knew when he was eating too much my body seems very comfortable eating the amount i do has a very strong stopping point and if i overstuff i notice i don't get hungry until later in the next day which was obviously once again just another lie he told himself to deal with the reality of his own situation to assist with his mukbangs as his weight grew nicara avocado would also purchase a chair rated to hold a person who weighed up to 400 pounds i got the chair for 400 pound people because i said okay it's gonna hold if it's holding up big people it's gonna hold me up definitely and nicardo avocado was certainly going to need this seat as less than 12 months after claiming he'd never get to 300 pounds he'd upload a video titled i'm 299.9 pounds well i finally reached 300 after this meal this video not only showed that all of nicaragua avocado's previous claims about water weight stress diets understanding his body etc etc were completely wrong but it also revealed a much darker reality he had accepted his size and saw his weight as a joke even going so far as to say that he now wanted to hit 300 pounds 294.2 pounds what why am i losing weight why can't i hit 300. in the process nikata avocado had done the actual calculations on how long it would take for him to get back to his starting weight let's do some math how long is it going to take me to lose my weight if i have to lose 120 pounds and i have to do 5 pounds a month let's do 120 divided by five how many [Music] two years that's 24. i have to lose weight for two years i'm just not gonna do it how about that how about i feel so much better concluding that he had passed a point of no return and it was better for him to embrace his weight for the views as opposed to going to the effort of losing it i'm that and i don't care anymore i want to get to 300 and then 400 and then 500 and then 600. i'm in the other rooms like who cares now too late i ain't going back this unsurprisingly caused further complications in his relationship discrimination no one discriminates that thing out my way you pass it so what's next the card's fat phobic is the card in an interview with men's health nicaragua explained that unsurprisingly his sex life had taken a hit after becoming a mukbanger additionally the amount of videos in which nicocado and orlan argued or broke up or fought publicly increased substantially you're the worst thing that ever happened to me that's okay with me i'll sleep just fine tonight with that notion i used to be so happy without you you're such a mistake however despite the monstrous weight gain and crumbling relationship it was likely difficult to change his behavior as from a financial perspective his bank account was skyrocketing you know i sit up here in my tower and watch everyone struggle and be poor it's so entertaining i love watching poor people they struggle oh i just need popcorn i could sit here and watch them struggle all day nicara avocado would announce that he'd purchased a 2.3 million penthouse apartment in las vegas after adding yet another 50 pounds to his body weight finding chairs that could hold my size was such a nightmare because i'm 350 almost a comment on the video stating enjoy your house bro you got not much time left perfectly encapsulates the conundrum of nicocado avocado it sums up the dilemma that nikikata avocado has found himself in being the exchange of health for money or on an even deeper level the exchange of health for meaning sure nicotta avocado could quit doing mukbangs tomorrow he'd probably lose a bunch of weight considering his weight gain is anchored to the work but really like what's he gonna do go back to busking with a violin in new york city it's not really realistic yet equally unrealistic is the idea that he can continue to mukbang every day without it eventually resulting in something that would take him out of the game altogether [Music]
