“One step away from becoming a fitness YouTuber…”: Nikocado Avocado’s 250 Pound Weight Loss is a Redemption Arc Not Even Logan Paul and Tana Mongeau Can Compete With
- After a seven-month hiatus, Nikocado Avocado returned to YouTube with a 250-pound weight loss, surprising fans and silencing critics.
- His redemption arc is likely better than those of Logan Paul and Tana Mongeau, who also faced significant controversies but managed to rebuild their images.
- Fans have praised his dedication and transformation, with many expressing awe and disbelief at his new, healthier lifestyle.
Catering to a whopping approximately 8.6 million subscribers across all his YouTube channels, Nicholas Perry, aka Nikocado Avocado, has resurfaced in the mainstream after a nearly seven-month-long hiatus. Known for his mukbang videos and wide fan following, the 32-year-old sent off alarm bells ringing when he dropped off streaming abruptly in the face of increasingly dramatic videos, showcasing unpredictable behavior.
Back then, several on social media took no time to become his biggest critics while pointing out that his videos were erratic and that they highlighted degrading emotional control. However, in a remarkable surprise, the streamer returned a while ago with a redemption arc that will not only silence his critics for good but may also dwarf similar return stories of major YouTubers.
The Nikocado Avocado transformation stands above the likes of Logan Paul and Tana Mongeau
“Disoriented beings roam the internet,” claimed Nikocado Avocado in his latest video titled Two Steps Ahead, marking his return to YouTube after a radio silence of about seven months. Unpredictably, this clip featured his new self following a weight-loss transformation that saw him shed over 250 pounds, ending the suspense around his absence and muting critics with comments on his weight and lifestyle.
The 25-minute clip also marked his redemption after earlier videos had him engage in public feuds and gripe with other streamers. Moreover, it also washed away critical accusations of Nick Avocado promoting an unhealthy lifestyle revolving around the over-consumption of food, marked by emotional outbursts. Curiously, his case also aligns with the likes of Logan Paul and Tana Mongeau, who had also once found themselves in the same boat.
In 2017, Paul faced intense heat and backlash after posting a video from Japan’s Aokigahara Forest aka the Suicide Forest, where he filmed a deceased body. Labeled for insensitivity, the influencer took a YouTube break, returning only after rebuilding his image with responsible content, charitable events, and a turn to professional wrestling.
Similarly, Tana Mongeau hosted an alternative to VidCon with TanaCon in 2018. However, poor organization led to severe overcrowding, with several attendees being left outside to soak in the sun. The event took a toll on the influencer’s public image and took years to restore. However, Nikocado Avocado may have triumphed over both of these giants with his mega-comeback.
Fans hail Nikocado Avocado for his dedication even with awe and disbelief
In mere hours and on YouTube alone, the return clip of Nikocado Avocado, featuring his new avatar, raked up over 3 million views. Ardent fans hailed his dedication with many showering him with positivity on social media sites like X (formerly Twitter).
Additionally, many also took to commenting below his YouTube video to decorate the situation with remarks like “He’s only one step away from becoming a fitness YouTuber,” and “The way Nikocado went from ‘just water weight’ to 250 pounds lighter is the biggest internet redemption arc ever!”
The months-long gap from Nikocado Avocado had sparked an intense debate within his fandom regarding his health condition. Several suspected fearful outcomes considering his last videos contained admissions of him struggling with OCD on top of weight issues.
Yet, the current transformation has disposed of old rumors, and with the influencer ending the video with “I love being a mukbanger. I love food. I like eating food and I like being here,” fans can expect to see more of him soon.
