Influencer Nikocado Avocado's health has been making headlines for years. Since starting his YouTube channel, dedicated mostly to mukbang content, in 2014, Nikocado has gained a lot of weight, prompting many of his fans to share their concerns.
However, in his latest video titled, "Two Steps Ahead," Nikocado took off a panda mascot mask to reveal his drastic weight loss.
"This has been the greatest social experiment of my entire life," Nikocado shared in the viral video. "Today, I woke up from a very long dream but I also woke up having lost 250 pounds off of my body. Just yesterday, people were calling me sick, and fat, and boring, and irrelevant."
Nikocado was then joined by his pet parrot, Mr. Noodle, for a mukbang video where he opened up about his health journey.

Nikocado Avocado revealed how he hid 250 pound weight loss from followers.
Calling the last eight years a "really bad dream," an emotional Nikocado told his followers that he has woken up and is excited about what's next.
Nikocado then shared a video on his channel Nikocado Avocado 2, where he will be posting his videos going forward. So, how did he hide his weight loss while still posting to YouTube?
“I haven’t made a video for like two years," which means all the videos he has been sharing were prerecorded. As expected, fans were shocked by the transformation and reveal.
"The way Nikocado went from 'just water weight' to 250 pounds lighter is the biggest internet redemption arc ever," one subscriber commented before another added, "This man took the whole internet for a ride. I can't even lie, i respect it."
A third chimed in, "Unironically this is probably one of if not THE biggest plot twist in the history of YouTube."
Despite the weight loss, Nikocado opened up about his insecurities.
"I'm not sure if people like me or if they want to hear from me," he said in his second video titled "hi."
However, subscribers shouldn't expect healthier mukbangs. Nikocado proceeded to eat a huge plate of cheesy noodles, which he estimated was over 5,000 calories.
"I just ate a lot of cheese, a lot of butter, and a lot of pasta but I finished my food like a good boy and a good YouTuber," he said to end the video. "He kept his word, he kept his promise, and he did it. I said I would finish and I did. And honestly, I need to keep this appetite ramped up so I don't mind it at all."
