Nicholas Perry, better known as Nikocado Avocado, a widely recognized YouTuber famous for his food-centric content, has left his audience in shock with the announcement of a remarkable 250-pound weight loss. In a twist that no one saw coming, Perry revealed in a recent video that he had secretly shed the weight over the last two years, all while continuing to upload pre-recorded videos to maintain his YouTube presence.
The revelation was made in a video titled "Two Steps Ahead," where Perry admitted to pulling off what he described as a "social experiment." The video quickly went viral, amassing over 20 million views as fans expressed a mix of surprise, admiration, and intrigue at the dramatic transformation. Many were astounded by Perry's ability to manage his health journey in private while consistently providing content for his fans, proving his dedication to both his personal life and his audience.
The video opens with Perry wearing a panda head, stating, "I am always two steps ahead." He explains that his two-year weight loss journey was part of an elaborate prank, keeping his audience in the dark while he focused on regaining his health. "This has been the greatest social experiment of my entire life," Perry said, adding, "It's concerning, it's compelling, it's gripping to watch these unwell, disoriented individuals roam the internet in search of stories, ideas, and rivalries that make them feel encouraged and engaged."
Perry continued, sharing that he had been living in what he described as a "very long dream" during which he lost over 250 pounds. His candid confession left viewers stunned, especially since Perry had managed to maintain an active presence on YouTube by uploading old, pre-recorded videos while he worked on his health behind the scenes.
In a follow-up video titled "Hi," posted on a different YouTube channel, Perry further explained how he executed his plan. Appearing with his pet parrot, Perry’s tone was much friendlier as he briefly described how he managed to keep his weight loss journey a secret from everyone, including his fans. He revealed that he hadn’t made a new video in two years, instead sharing older content to keep his channel active while focusing on his well-being. He also addressed the numerous rumors surrounding his health during this period, many of which speculated about heart attacks and failed weight loss attempts, all of which were part of his intricate ruse.
The big reveal has taken the internet by storm, with fans flooding the comments sections of his videos to express their shock and admiration. "This feels almost unreal—he managed to play us like a violin. This redemption arc feels surreal," one fan commented.
Others praised his long-term vision and dedication to his health. "He said in an interview that once he hit a certain age, he was going to lose all the weight, and it would be over. What a legend. Respect," wrote another viewer.
Some fans speculated about Perry’s future on YouTube, with one commenter humorously suggesting, "He's only one step away from becoming a fitness YouTuber." Another fan marveled at Perry's ability to keep his transformation private: "The fact he was able to keep this entirely private, with no one in the world knowing his secret, while actively creating rumors of heart attacks and failed weight loss, is so complex I can't even wrap my head around it."
Perry’s secretive weight loss journey has sparked conversations about the nature of content creation, personal health, and the power of controlling one's narrative in the public eye. As one user aptly put it, "The internet was not ready for this."
Nikocado Avocado's unexpected transformation has left many of his followers rethinking the way they view online personalities, particularly those known for indulging in extreme food challenges. His story serves as a reminder that personal transformation, even when hidden, can be a powerful testament to determination and self-discipline.
