Mukbang vlogger Nikocado Avocado surprises netizens with weight loss in new video

Nikocado Avocado, a famous Mukbang vlogger on YouTube, took social media by storm over the weekend when he uploaded a vlog with his new physical appearance.

On a YouTube vlog titled "Two steps ahead," Nikocado said his weight loss journey "has been the greatest social experiment" of his life.

"Today, I woke up from a very long dream and I also woke up from having lost 250 pounds off of my body," he said in the vlog.

"Yet, just yesterday, people were calling me fat and sick and boring and irrelevant," he added. "People are the most messed up creatures on the entire planet, and yet I have still managed to stay two steps ahead of everyone."

The vlogger didn't give any more details on his weight loss journey and continued the vlog by doing a mukbang of stir-fried noodles.

As of writing, the vlog has over 20 million views since it was uploaded on Saturday.

Before his weight loss, Nikocado's last mukbang video on YouTube was in February.

Nikocado began as a vegan vlogger. In 2016, he decided to quit being vegan and started creating Mukbang videos of various foods.

Mukbang originated in South Korea, where one films a video or goes on a live stream while eating a large quantity of food.
