YouTube ‘mukbang’ sensation Nikocado Avocado revealed he’s secretly lost hundreds of pounds, while fooling fans into thinking he’s dangerously obese, in a new video titled “Two Steps Ahead” uploaded on Friday.

Avocado, who has 3.9 million YouTube subscribers, 800 million total views and calls himself the “King of Mukbangs,” a Korean food trend in which someone eats a mountain of food on camera, secretly lost weight for two years while posting old videos for his fans.

In his last video, the Ukrainian-born American claimed to weigh 359 pounds. Now he’s 250 pounds lighter.

“Two steps forward, two steps forward,” a shrunken Avocado opened his shocking midnight video, in which he initially wore a panda mask. “I’m always—two steps forward. This has been the greatest social experiment of my entire life,” Avocado continued, crossing his fingers.

“It’s seductive, it’s compelling, it’s gripping to see all these sick, disoriented beings floating around the internet looking for stories,” Avocado said. “They evolve with the stories, they become the product of influence.”

“I feel like I’m watching ants on an ant farm, one following the other,” Avocado said of his fans and haters, adding that “people will eat whatever they’re told to eat.”

Avocado then removed the mask, showed off his full weight loss transformation, and then explained his master plan.

“Today I woke up from a really long dream and I also woke up after losing 250 pounds,” Avocado said. “Yesterday people were calling me fat and sick and boring and irrelevant, people, people are the most fucked up creatures on the entire planet.”

“People consume whatever they’re told to consume… so, I’m the bad guy because I made myself one. And you’re going to keep consuming these stories about me. Year after year, year after year, as long as I tell the internet I’m the bad guy. Stories that permeate and stick, and infect the minds of the ants. Influence the ants. Brainwash the ants. You are the ants,” he said.

In a separate video uploaded to another channel Avocado manages, he explains, “I haven’t made a video in two years.” The last time Avocado uploaded one of his signature mukbangs was three months ago, but all of his videos were recorded years in advance.

Fans didn’t have to hold their breath for long though, as Avocado got back to his old routine and pulled out a disgustingly large bowl of black bean noodles to slurp down.

In the comments below the video, fans were stunned.

“I think we have all failed in the social experiment,” Hullsome wrote.

“Let’s be realistic. This is what we were hoping for instead of being faced with his passing from complications brought on by his heavy weight,” added another.

Others wondered if Avocado had used weight loss drugs.

“The ozempic has been working overtime,” KyBillyb noted.

“You see how powerful Ozempic is,” agreed lunaticgaloxxx6899.
