Nicholas does not have the happiest of life stories. He was born in Ukraine on May 19, 1992. He was adopted by an American family and moved to Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. The Ukraine-born kid was a talented musician. He used to earn his money as a freelance violinist.
Nicholas moved to New York to pursue his dream of becoming a musician but crumbled under the pressure. He could not make it but life had different plans for him. He was a vegan earlier in his life and he met Orlin Home through a vegan Facebook group. Home, who is now his husband, already had a YouTube channel and urged Nicholas to try it out.
In 2016, Nicholas began to partake in ‘mukbang’ videos. In this type of video, the host consumes an enormous amount of food while recording it live or for later use. Nicholas was one of the first American men to do this. He went viral and later decided to not stay a vegan. ‘Nikocado Avocado‘ YouTube channel has over 3.5 million subscribers and recently Nicholas has decided that it is time to not be obese anymore.
Nikocado Avocado believes ‘mukbang’ videos are “unhealthy”
Although ‘mukbang’ is what made Nicholas famous, he believes it is not the healthiest thing.
“One of my friends told me to try it out,” he said in an interview with Tampa Bay Times. “I thought she was crazy. I said to myself, ‘Who on Earth is going to watch me eat food? Sure enough, my very first mukbang got like 50,000 views in a couple of weeks, which was a lot for me at the time, and everybody was asking, when’s the next mukbang?
“I just want to do this for a couple more years,” he said. “It IS very unhealthy.”
Nicholas even mentioned that he tries to exercise off-screen. He tries to make up for the enormous amounts of calories he gains by exercising. It is good to know that the effects of it are showing.
Nikocado Avocado used to weigh over 300 lbs a month ago
According to reports in March, Nicholas was continuing to gain weight. He was creating mukbang videos, which were his claim to fame, and became obese. He weighed over 300 lbs in March.
Nicholas has previously stated that he has turned his low moments into his earnings. Whenever he feels down in life, he starts eating obsessively and creates these mukbang videos. According to recent reports, Nicholas is on a weight loss journey. He has been cutting down on processed foods and incorporating more fruits and vegetables into his diet.
