normal Ozempic caused weight loss (in which lifestyle changes are included normaly) are about -15% in a time range of 68 weeks, i think his 113 kg are more than 15%
Don’t sue, it’s hearsay: heard from someone who heard from someone that it paralyzes the digestive tract and causes MAJOR long-term problems. Your body shutting off isn’t good for weight loss. That’s like saying cyanide is anaerobic therapy.
WebMD (I know…) says 1 in 20 can develop stomach paralysis. So it seems to be an in-between, where it influences similar things meant to be temporary but can do the above ^
ozempic is still underresearched specifically for weight loss, it might be more that 15%. At that level of obesity as he was, you can shred fat by simply breathing while not overeating, it seems really cool to see ppl losing 100 kg, but I think it's body trying to survive
Like with most weight loss drugs, it's assumed that ozempic works by decreasing appetite. In fact, most drugs that are known to increase weight also do so by increasing appetite. I don't believe there is a drug that is known to cause changes in weight by any other mechanism... except for synthetic/pig thyroxine, which does increase cell metabolism, but it's not safe to use unless you actually had hypothyroidism (being intentionally hyperthyroid causes a whole slew of medical issues).
There is actually another as well, DNP or Dinitrophenol that works by dissipating the proton barrier in your mitochondria. So you essentially pump way more protons than needed and use energy as heat instead of to create ATP.
It's very dangerous and illegal, but is still used by bodybuilders and fitness people as it can increase the calories you burn each day by ~50%. It's not uncommon for people to lose 4-5 lbs a week on it.
They're working on a precursor drug for it under the name HU6 which should be good. HU6 + zepbound and you can score a cute face landwhale you slowly release from their prison of fat
Problem with things like amphetamines are that they do shred your appetite but there's a huge appetite bounceback when you stop taking them where you'll tear through an entire pantry.
I don't believe that's quite a problem with GLP-1 agonist drugs like semaglutide/extenatide etc.
The dose makes the poison. Water will kill you if you manage to drink enough, while there is almost certainly a safe dose of raw plutonium you could ingest.
With drugs, there is the effective dose/lethal dose ratio. The lethal dose should be much higher than the effective dose. Plenty of margin of error. Acetaminophen would not get approved as an OTC drug by the FDA today, because of this.
Also turns everything yellow. Your sweat, saliva, skin... we used to use it back in the early 90s to cut weight for bodybuilding or powerlifting.
The huge downside is that it's an oxidative un-coupler. The mitochondria do their thing; a series of reactions push protons outside the inner membrane. When the protons diffuse back across the membrane, ATP is generated. You also get heat. With DNP, the protons diffuse, but don't generate ATP. The result is an increase in body temperature and weight loss.
DNP is also pretty potent; the amount that will kill you isn't significantly higher than the amount that causes the 'desired' effect. Back in the day, we got it from the local gear-head. It was usually made by some bathtub pharmacist gym bro out of pool chemicals. Getting a consistent dose wasn't likely, and what you thought was 200 mg could easily be triple that. You'd hear about close calls in meets... someone ended up in a tub of ice because their temp hit 105.
Overall, it is a shitty, scary drug. But hey, you cut those 8 lbs right? Oooof.
Oh, right, there's that, but that's basically considered a toxin. The risk of organ damage and death is too high. Even a little bit will still cause cell damage, particularly the ones that are the most active (and guess which cells are the most active... the ones keeping you alive. The ones less active include... your fat cells.)
Since when did it become about work or effort? It’s about health, who cares if he took Ozempic he is much healthier now, and he probably didn’t even take it. People just making shit up to be mean to others
it became about work and effort when they started losing fat people to make fun of, now they have to come up with some other random slop to be mad about so they can continue their infinite anger machine
No, hes trying to pull a " it was all a social experiment and actually YOU guys were the idiots, not me" main character syndrome moral high horse act while he was selling his ass on only fans because he was losing subs and was going broke. The guy went from one extreme to the next while learning absolutely nothing and destroying his body in the process.
This guy is still a monster just because he doesn't look like one anymore doesn't mean imma let go him shitting himself and showing his asshole to us all
you can really tell who is an asshole by who really wants there to be unforeseen side effects for lobotomies.
you can really tell who is an asshole by who really wants there to be unforeseen side effects for smoking cigarettes
you can really tell who is an asshole by who really wants there to be unforeseen side effects for opioids.
All things someone probably said in the past. It's not being an asshole, it's being wary of a new drug that isn't fully understood yet as we have a huge backlog of drugs and medical treatments that did more harm than good in the long run. Especially in the case of weight loss for the sake of vanity. It really isn't that difficult for most people to lose weight, you shouldn't need a drug to literally alter your mind so you don't have to wrestle with the urge to shove burgers in your mouth every 20 minutes.
My mom immediately had her blood pressure skyrocket and severe leg pain after her first and only Ozempic injection. She's now developed blood clots in both legs. Plenty of people have had the same thing happen.
It's a little different because steroid use leads to worse long-term health outcomes, whereas using Ozempic for weight loss leads to objectively better long-term health outcomes.
That's stupid. The whole point of technology and human progress is to make things easier. It takes time and effort to go out and hunt a boar, but thanks to animal husbandry, refrigeration, global trade, etc., you can just walk into a supermarket and buy a steak.
I had to stay in the hospital overnight after a bone graft and I'm not sure what they were giving me but it was legit. I was chillin watching NBA playoffs pressing the button and as soon as it wore off after I got home 20mgs of Percocet still had me sweating I hurt so bad. When they did the nerve block they gave me fentanyl and I swear I was blacked out for like 10 minutes. I remember before the shot and after when they finished the pre surgery stuff and put me to sleep but there is a small block of time there I remember absolutely nothing
Addiction and lack of self control are due to depression and flaws in character developed in childhood. Ozempic like heroin cover or quieten the underlying issues.
Both drugs lead to worse outcomes.
Sorry I didnt know you are such an imbecile I had spell it out for you. This is reddit not your weekly "home schooled special needs class " mommy holds for you and your cousins.
What about someone who is not gaining weight but is just steady at a constant, obese weight? Would you say the mental flaws are thus resolved and ozempic is acceptable as a way of dropping the weight?
Nope. Id say lose a couple pounds eating less for 2 weeks and then go back to your normal routine. See if the weight stays of.
Ozempic is artifically fasting with chemicals.
You substitute will power and restraint/self control and thus self love with a pill that you become dependent on....
How on earth is that healthier than fasting without chemicals?
When you're overeating and rapidly gaining weight, you call that lack of will power.
When you're maintaining your current weight, you are using a normal amount of willpower, right? As that's what normal, healthy weighted individuals do.
To lose weight, you need a temporary boost in willpower in order to run on a deficit.
Instead of finding willpower within to correct for the lack of willpower and unhealthy lifestyle that made you gain weight in the first place, you recurr to some external thing (that is actually dangerous) instead of finding the strenght within.
So is the goal to go from insufficient willpower to normal willpower, or to go from insufficient willpower to exceptional willpower?
Honestly I think willpower is finite and if you don't need to spend it losing weight, you can spend it elsewhere. Maybe it'll be easier to work on it once you're skinny
Maybe. Everyone has their own journey. In the end, people have to be accountable for themselves.
That doesn't detract from saying the truth. One one hand pretending a morbidly obese singer is beautiful is morally bankrupt and does harm, not good. On the other, no one is perfect or free of defects.
I think the more inner strength a person has the less reliant that person is on externalities and the more power that person has.
The more power a person has, the more he/she can influence the world.
If you have no inner strength to care for yourself how is an external thing you are dependent on going to give you strength?
I do think you are wrong in one aspect, I think inner strenght is infinite.
If you have no inner strength to care for yourself how is an external thing you are dependent on going to give you strength?
People who were in a bad spot and got really fat likely have a lot of things to work on that they neglected. Weight, fitness, social\romance\interests, career etc.
I see diet aids as just ways to let people spend more strength on those other aspects of their lives that a drug can't help so much with. Maybe try dating, or very targeted work at the gym?
I think inner strenght is infinite.
Yeah people that say that end up as burn-outs pretty quick.
Brain is like any organ. Legs can run, but can only run so far, and afterwards they need a break.
People who were in a bad spot and got really fat likely have a lot of things to work on that they neglected. Weight, fitness, social\romance\interests, career etc.
Agree and the easiest win is controlling what goes in.
Yeah people that say that end up as burn-outs pretty quick.
Not really no.
Basically I think the more physically healthy society is, the better. If a drug helps get us closer, so be it!
This is about individuals. Dont depend on society. The drug doesnt make you healthier. It adds to depence and takes away self esteem. It also causes lots of medical problems.
Agree and the easiest win is controlling what goes in.
Like to stop gaining weight? I agree
But to lose weight? Nah, that's not easy. Because you have to eat less energy than you expect. That's hard because it's intrinsically unsustainable (eventually you'd die) and against out biological wiring.
The drug doesnt make you healthier. It adds to depence and takes away self esteem. It also causes lots of medical problems.
It does make you healthier. Whatever side effects you think it has, lets say you argue worse mental health and some cancer risks, the risks of being obese are way higher. Therefore you are healthIER if you take it.
Diabetic Ketoacidosis
Hypoglicaemia
Pancreatitis
Rebound weight gain
Gastroparesis
Also

This is exactly what it does it supresses your appetite and all hunger signals
Comparing basically anything to heroin is braindead tbh. The reasons people would get addicted to heroin have overlap, but are not the same at all as a weight loss drug and it's not even fucking close.
Im comparing overeating to substance abuse heroin is just for drama effect...
If youbare gonna sperg out at least get the comparison right
Both overeating to the point of being morbidly obese and substance abuse (alcohol heroin meth crack) is debasing and leads to poor life and early death
obesity isn't a mental illness. it's several times worse than smoking, it incrases the risk of several types of cancer, it fucks up your joints, your breathing, your heart, etc. the side effects of Ozempic don't even come close to the effects of obesity. saying that is just retarded.
What new diseases is he going to get from this? All it does it helps you eat less food. Which is is literally how you cure obesity with or without the drugs.
like over half of our country is debilitatingly fat. It's bad for them, bad for society, bad for the economy, bad for productivity, bad for health insurance premiums, etc etc. It's bad for everything, and only getting worse, and this has been going on long that we know for a fact that 95% of people are not strong enough to lose weight on their own. So fucking let people have this objectively good thing and just be glad for all the rewards we as a society reap from this breakthrough.
But is Ozempic an "objectively good thing"? Is it really?
If your only metric for being a "good thing", the "Fen-Phen" combo that was popular for a few weeks before fat people realized how many fat people died taking the drugs would be ideal. Lose the weight, or die trying. Either way, my insurance provider isn't spending any money keeping you alive and fat every month.
Immediate effects:
Gastroparesis that remains after stopping the drug.
Rebound weight gain.
Not adopting a healthy lifestyle or healthy nutrition
Anorexia Bulimia
Pancreatitis
Hypoglicarmic events
Long term we shall soon see.... there are concerning links to cancer apparently
I can lose 5lbs during the week, eating mostly lean proteins and veggies, drinking only water. Then I gain 6lbs on the weekend drinking whiskey and eating pizza.
Yeah I remember the time my aunt contracted obesity, we had to wear masks around her until she died of diabetes. It was the only way to stop the spread of such a terrible disease.
Obesity is an outcome of processed food addiction, we have unlimited access to cheap food formulated to be addictive. Tasty, sugary and unsatisfying. People used to smoke instead, not sure which is worse.
You aren't allowed to smoke on airplanes, buses or trains. That smoker won't affect your life in any way, but the fatty will subsume your entire seat if he is allowed.
Obese hambeasts are a much larger burden. They take up two seats on planes but only pay for one. They require far more healthcare on average than smokers.
Who cares how they did it. Obesity is a disease and the drug helped cure it
Nobody should care about anything in the grand scheme of things, but at the same time you are allowed to make fun of people whose morals depend solely on what is convenient at the moment.
Before oz: "Big is beautiful!", "Healthy at every size!".
Now: "So what if I lost weight only due to drugs? None of your biz lol"
Obesity is a long lasting self inflicted problem for the most part. People don't get obese from viruses or bacteria. They get obese from poor decisions over long periods of time. If they cannot get over the psychological issues that got them to obesity, they'll go back if the drug isn't available. We've seen it before, we'll see it again. Externalizing your problems is not helpful in any way.
Without willpower you will never get healthy. Getting healthy is more than just losing a bunch of weight, especially if you're just going to gain it again when you stop taking the drug
It matters how they did it because we are all competing with each other for social status and mates. If you pretend like we aren't you've already lost.
You have to work with ozempic, it's not a magical pill. That being said, I hope he enjoys having weakened muscles and bones for the rest of his life cause he did take the "easier" route to weight loss
Ozempic isn't a fat burner. You actually have to eat less and exercise to lose weight. I took ozempic for half a year and didn't lose much, because even if I didn't feel hungry I still wanted to eat. It's actually kind of disappointing because I also thought I would lose weight doing nothing with ozempic but thats not the truth at all. It helps with hunger, the rest is all on you.
The hunger is the hardest part of the weight loss imo, because the more I eat, the fatter I get the more I want to it. I was just a lil overweight, but the hunger was killing me.
Ozempic isn’t a magical shot that makes you skinny. The weight loss it causes is from making their pancreas work like a normal non-diabetic pancreas and has to be followed with a good diet otherwise it won’t do shit.
that's kinda like saying people that take creatine to gain muscle are cheating. it still took a lot of hard work and discipline, deserves far more respect than say having a gastric bypass
...on an extremely calorie deficient diet, while getting all the proper nutrition...and an aggressive workout plan. Yeah, you can easily lose 4-5 lbs/week.
He reveals it himself in terms of timelines, no need to guess. He said he backlogged a bunch of videos around 2 years ago and started working on losing weight. So he was basically doing that for 2 years, while basically staying out of the public eye in his then-current state and drip-feeding his backlogged videos.
Maybe not even ozempic but probably yeah. Just not eating and surgeries. Eating a shitload before that messes up hunger in general so might not even be ozempic. I've lost a lot of weight aswell and i dont feel hunger anymore
Your metabolism slows down when you don't move and eat properly. A good indicator for that is when you are not feeling hungry after waking up or you get sick from breakfast. Lots of people have trouble losing weight even though they practically starve themselves; Not knowing that their caloric deficit is too big and that that destroyed their metabolism and they need to reset it or else they won't see any progress other than rubberbanding.
Your body type partially determines what works for you but most people require more carbs than they realize to keep the metabolism going.

This is wrong and a very common misconception, you are vastly overestimating the effect undereating has on the body. If someone severely overweight starts going on a massive cut their BMR will drop by 5% at most 10%.
This is going from, say, 3000 to 2700, sure you burn 300 less per day but that doesn't matter all that much when you're only eating 1500 kcal per day, you will still lose weight. The effect of this is of course dependent on your daily intake, eating less calories -always- translates directly to more weight loss.
In the vast majority of cases the reason people aren't losing weight is because they massively underestimate how many calories they actually consume, starting with simple things such as not realizing that just 30ml of Oil you might need to fry something already has 265 kcal just by itself, a package of breaded chicken might say it has ~600 kcal for 500g but if you pan fry it you might end up using so much Oil it's closer to 1000.
That's not really true either, although its anecdotal to my personal experience.
I went through a phase where I was counting my calories and was excercising regularly and couldn't see any progress. My starting point was already well trained but high body fat %. I then consulted with personal trainers that came to our gym one day and they told me what I was doing wrong.
I then ate way more calories than I did before, mostly increasing my intake of carbs and only focusing on a minimal deficit of ~300kcal/day while maintaining my exercise Routine.
It took about 4 weeks before my body adapted to that and after that I was shredding bodyfat like never before. I went from around 28% down to 15%. My mood improved and I git hungry way more frequently.
My bodyfat was measured by an electric scale and those are not the most accurate. But according to the gym staff I made incredible progress. (I have been trying to get a dexa scan ever since but literally no one picks up the phone wherever I call.)
Yes you can starve yourself with a defiicit of 1500kcal too and lose weight but that slows down your metabolism to conserve the little bit of energy you do have.
Yeah at the start of losing weight i remember having to drink so much sugarfree sodas etc and id be like curled up in bed all annoyed trying to skip to the next day to "allow" myself the next calories but its completly gone now.
Ive only lost a bit over 30 kg but my starting weight wasnt too bad either. I only eat regularly because im forced to since im in the military, even when there i can skip meals for days and not feel a thing. I think it could be connected to some mental thing as i also have extremely high pain tolerance but i have no clue. People might just be built differently.
It's why I started taking ozempic in the first place. Lost my first 50lbs but I was hungry constantly. Constantly in pain. I'd eat and still be hungry, even if my stomach felt full, but I had to ignore it to lose weight. Doctor said ozempic would fix the hunger pangs but it hasn't done anything. Been on it for 7 months now.
im burning about 8kg per years cuz my skin is mega-streched and i dont feel like going to skin removal surgery, i wanna see surgery pics from him, the folds must have been insane cuz he gained weight insanely fast and now lost insanely fast
I think a lot of people are underestimating just how much weight he could have lost just from skin removal. Could be an extra 5-15kg right there depending on how bad it was. That itself shaves at least an entire month off the usual 1kg/wk (safe) deficit. Add few months backlog and all of a sudden the weight loss is still significant but not out of this world, especially if he’s on a semaglutide/tirzepatide and doesn’t have to deal with the hunger you’d normally deal with on such a deficit.
10kg skin removal, 3 extra months of weight loss (so 10 total months) is really only 10kg/month. It’s on the high end but not impossible especially in the early months
He was that weight for a short period of time, his organs and health will recover people loose weight all the time. Also important to note he started skinny.
It sounds like they are referencing a bit of science mixed with humor. As is typical on Reddit. My interpretation is that they’re implying that extreme weight loss like the one shown by the 4chan screenshot, is probably harmful to one’s body at even a molecular level, by mentioning telomeres. Telomeres are protective caps at the end of chromosomes that shorten as we age or undergo stress, including from poor diet and extreme weight changes. The phrase "trans fats all over his telomeres" isn't a scientifically accurate statement. While poor diet can contribute to inflammation, oxidative stress, plaque buildup in the cardiovascular system, and general cellular damage, which in turn can accelerate telomere shortening, it's not a direct action of trans fats themselves. Instead, the relationship between diet and telomere length is more indirect, through overall cellular health and damage over time.
The phrase is being used humorously to suggest that a bad diet (with trans fats) could potentially worsen this damage, even down to a deep, molecular level. In other words, they’re using biochemistry terms loosely to make a point that such a drastic transformation can’t be healthy.
As for the Christian Bale reference, Bale famously lost a dramatic amount of weight to play an emaciated insomniac in The Machinist (2004), where he dropped to around 55 kg (121 lbs). Shortly after that, he gained a significant amount of muscle mass for Batman Begins (2005). If an actor like Christian Bale can drastically lose and gain weight, theoretically, anyone could too. But there could be negative health effects, especially if done in an unhealthy way.
Are you neurotypical? /s A simple yes is infinitely kinder btw. You don’t have to insult someone for requesting clarification. It’s actually mean dude do better.
He was skinny majority’s of his life and only got fat for a short period. Its easier to loose weight and go back to your original weight in such case vs if you were overweight for decades.
He was fat for a "relatively" short time. It definitely shortened his potential lifespan and gave him a risk of developing many potential diseases in the future. That being said....
He should go back to being a relatively healthy adult quickly and will more than likely live a healthy and long life. Especially if he utilizes a fraction of what he made from his endeavours on his own health.
He was that weight for a short period of time, his organs and health will recover people loose weight all the time. Also important to note he started skinny.
Ever heard of Angus Barbieri? He fasted for 382 days, (under heavy medical supervision) and lost 276 pounds (125 kg).
Nikocado's fast must have been insane if it only lasted 7 months, but I heavily (kek) suspect that it lasted longer than that. Did he not stop posting for more than a year? Seems to me the timeframe is longer than just 7 months. Otherwise, this would be a world record, probably, right? Guiness doesn't do "dangerous/unhealthy" records like these anymore, but still would be a record regardlesss.
Easily. I lost 26kg in about 12 months going from 123kg down to 97....and then I lost another 7 over the next 6. I managed all that just by buying myself a mountain bike and riding it 6 to 8km 3 times a week. As soon as your cardio improves, and it doesn't feel like you're literally dying when you finish a ride, it gets a lot easier....then it starts becoming fun. And before long, the flab starts melting away....it just gets easier and easier as you start to feel better and better.
I've recently gained a huge amount of weight and I'm about to do it all over again. I've done it before, so I know what to expect and ai know I can do it again.
Ozempic will melt that fat off, but it won't get you fit.
2 years ago, I lost 27 pounds in 6 weeks through intermittent fasting, but that’s the longest I’ve gone in one stretch. Losing weight around twice as quickly over +3x the amount of time sounds possible, though probably not for me.
4 months of IF is a real accomplishment. I’m glad you were able to get into the groove, and I’m glad you got something out of it. May you stay well for as long as possible.
Honestly, idk I don't follow him at all. But from what i am hearing, it was more like 2 years, which is crazy to keep secret if he really is that well known. I have no idea.
He went from disgustingly obese to sickly skinny, good for him he lost weight but he legit looks like a cancer patient, this is why you weight train as you lose weight, so you don't end up looking like a deflated balloon.
As a former fattie it definitely does count, but there are some nuances. First of all he actually has the access to decent diet coaches and trainers, so he knows what he's doing. Second of all there might be a possibility of assistance like ozempic or surgeries. Also he's obviously not genetically predisposed to being overweight, so his body doesn't resist the weight loss all the way to that point. And he actually knew how thin he wanted to be. Anyways good for him, that's a great display of dedication and willpower, hope he'll be able to maintain it
He mentioned in a video that he was away for two years with prerecorded videos, so it's a bit over 1 kg a week, which is still quite extreme but much more doable. Also weight loss is nonlinear, so this calculation may be incorrect as well
stop eating, basically eat protein shakes to get to daily protein goals + 1-3 fruit pieces for vitamins. he had enough fat to substitute carbs and fat for months
Yeah, new calculation would be 4.7kg a month, which is pretty doable, but that's still over 2 years and requires consistency and massive will power. It's also kinda on the edge of being "healthy" weight loss. IIRC it's not exactly good for your body either if you do weight loss too rapidly, I think I was told it can do something regarding to your pancreas (which plays a part in digestion).
My best weight loss with solid dietary change and a calorie deficit (but I didn't drop everything bad, ate regular bread as breakfast, ate a bit less sweets on the weekend) during a month was like 3.5kg, and after resuming normal diet I gained maybe less than a kilo back. Subsequent diets like that have also dropped my weight less and less (last time was barely 2kg, and gain was maybe half a kilo).
Still, I don't think I would have the discipline to do that sort of diet for more than 6 months, but I'm also not terribly fat or concerned about my weight.
Generally it's considered okay to lose 1% of your body weight per week. So depending on his starting weight it seems pretty reasonable to accomplish in 2 years.
also consider that he got fat off of mukbangs, think its easier to stop feasting than do the usualy fat ppl stuff of eating too much of normal shit and snacking candy and chips
That's the thing, this was either some incredible showcase of his mental fortitude and willingness to troll/make internet entertainment (by overeating with mukbang, getting somewhat obscenely fat for a long "gag", knowing that he will "simply" shed off the weight after a while, but still kept the ruse up with pre recorded videos for around 2 years), or this is a cope/act even currently and he was massively fucked up in his personal life and had some sort of big intervention.
I can't see it being anything in-between, I don't think he gradually came to conclusion that he's on a bad path and after some self reflection started improving his health. It has to be one of the extremes.
I'm thinking it was probably mostly planned and it was relatively easy for him to go back to normal weight, but that's still pretty fucking crazy, maybe not the fat loss itself but the fact that he even went through the whole cycle and planned it ahead of time.
He was that weight for a not a long period of time, his organs and health will recover people loose weight all the time. Also important to note he started skinny.
He also lost weight over 2 years so its not a crash diet thats gonna affect him negatively.
Love it when some friend in the comments pulls this move. It's a core redditism. Only three times is kinda weak. Dozen or more is when you know he's really upset though.
When you’re super fat, your TDEE (calories needed to maintain your weight) is very high.
So, even just eating like a normal person again, it’s pretty easy to keep a caloric deficit. So you can drop weight pretty fast, even faster if you’re trying.
If you’re a fat fuck and it takes 4000 calories a day to maintain your weight… just start eating like normal person (2500 a day). All of a sudden you have a 1500 calorie deficit and you’re losing 2-3lbs a week until you look normal. And that’s without exercise and diet.
amphetamine abuse or liposuction, either way he took the easy route. it won't actually change his eating habits or get him to exercise at all, so it's still an L for him lmao
A lot of his videos were prerecorded (that means he had a bit more time than 7 months) + you can lose a bunch of weight just by having a ginormous caloric deficit. Considering he didn't mind his health being damaged by being extremely obese he probably didn't mind essentially starving himself while losing all of that weight. Also people tend to forget that he was a vegan with a nutritionist background before he started doing mukbangs.
And yet I've seen extreme weight loss work more than once.
You people spout the 7000 calorie argument like it's gospel even though we don't know what his TDEE was. We don't know what he was eating or taking. And don't know the exact total time it took. And we don't know his body composition at the start or end of the weight loss.
You're not doing the exact science so don't go on about the science. He was probably just intermittently starving himself. Maybe with ozenpic. Maybe with amphetamines. Or maybe just by having someone lock him In a room for weeks at a time. Who knows.
At 200 kg weight just sustaining it requires like 3.5-4k calories daily. If you start eating only 1000-1500 calories, even assuming all of it is fat you will be losing like 2 kg per week, which is 100 kg per year. And yeah, he said in the videos he hasn't recorded anything for 2 years so he has been losing it since then most likely, which is much more manageable.
Probably helps he's naturally skinny. I think the only reason he held all that weight was because he was putting in active effort to gain it and maintain it.
Weight loss is crazy fast when you're morbidly obese. Just to maintain his weight on his height he must've been eating easily over 6-7000cals daily. Drop to 3000 and thats brings the total deficit to around 30,000cals a week (1lbs of fat is 3500cals) so thats 8.8lbs/4kg a week. But thats assuming it was all fat, probably a solid part of it really was just water weight and bloat.
He used to have a similar build too when he was vegan. Part of me wonders if it’s partly due to the fact he’s one of those people who can easily loose weight on their own.
I’m sort of happy Nick is finally taking his health serious.
anyone else thinking backlogging videos doesnt make sense. his videos include recent topics and hes literally sat with meatcanyon under a year ago unless he was in on it which is stupid and impossible. he has to have done this in under a year but how ????
In another post someone mentioned how his last video might not have been a recent film. So its possible its been longer then 7 months. Someone had said 2 years but idk where they got that info
Ozempic - A GLP-1 inhibitor that mimics a hormone released after eating. In short, you always feel full and can comfortably live on a severe calorie restriction.
Metabolic Enhancers - Drugs (usually illicit) that increase metabolism and thus calorie burn.
Y’all still don’t understand hours different life is with unlimited money even in 2024 , combined with filming videos ahead of release date as will it’s easy, go lurk /fit/
He hasn't really made that many videos in the past two years. So this would make sense. He basically just made the same video a dozen times and uploaded those every few months.
Im not sure as I do not follow this guy, but is this Nikocado Avocado (was that his name?). But I guess that only bases on the red shirt, the fact that he was fat before and that face kind off look like him
Fat people lose alot of extra wight really fast due to the fact if I'd killing then
Lest say you are 300lbs and you want to reach 180lbs you will lose like 30lb in the first month and next month it will be 20lb you will continue to lose wight like till you become overweight like around 230lbs if you are
Which is bad, the quicker you lose weight, the more loose skin you have, try to lose 8-16 pounds a month while weight training to reduce this. Give your skin time to adapt.
If this really was a social experiment all along, I’m going to need him to write a book or do a documentary explaining the entire thing. I want to know how he came up with the idea, if he ever felt himself getting lost in the experiment after a few years, how he was able to commit so hard to something so drastic, why he did it, and where he plans to go from here. I genuinely think a book or documentary about this whole thing would be extremely successful.
I must have crazy bad luck because every woman in my family has the “fat” gene which makes it physically impossible for them to lose any amount of weight.

nibbas taking ozempic and then celebrating weight loss like they actually did something
Vexbob@reddit
normal Ozempic caused weight loss (in which lifestyle changes are included normaly) are about -15% in a time range of 68 weeks, i think his 113 kg are more than 15%

GoBack2Africa21@reddit
Don’t sue, it’s hearsay: heard from someone who heard from someone that it paralyzes the digestive tract and causes MAJOR long-term problems. Your body shutting off isn’t good for weight loss. That’s like saying cyanide is anaerobic therapy.
Vexbob@reddit
i would say if this is "normaly" the case, this drug wouldnt sale

WebMD (I know…) says 1 in 20 can develop stomach paralysis. So it seems to be an in-between, where it influences similar things meant to be temporary but can do the above ^
Sunrider37@reddit
ozempic is still underresearched specifically for weight loss, it might be more that 15%. At that level of obesity as he was, you can shred fat by simply breathing while not overeating, it seems really cool to see ppl losing 100 kg, but I think it's body trying to survive

That's literally all weight loss is, no matter if you lose 5 lbs or 200. Almost all the mass comes out of your lungs.
pingustrategist@reddit
Like with most weight loss drugs, it's assumed that ozempic works by decreasing appetite. In fact, most drugs that are known to increase weight also do so by increasing appetite. I don't believe there is a drug that is known to cause changes in weight by any other mechanism... except for synthetic/pig thyroxine, which does increase cell metabolism, but it's not safe to use unless you actually had hypothyroidism (being intentionally hyperthyroid causes a whole slew of medical issues).
ndavis5425@reddit
There is actually another as well, DNP or Dinitrophenol that works by dissipating the proton barrier in your mitochondria. So you essentially pump way more protons than needed and use energy as heat instead of to create ATP. It's very dangerous and illegal, but is still used by bodybuilders and fitness people as it can increase the calories you burn each day by ~50%. It's not uncommon for people to lose 4-5 lbs a week on it.
z0ers@reddit
There was a chubbyemu video on some dude who got fucked by DNP.
Stay away from that shit, it's illegal for a reason.

Problem with things like amphetamines are that they do shred your appetite but there's a huge appetite bounceback when you stop taking them where you'll tear through an entire pantry.
I don't believe that's quite a problem with GLP-1 agonist drugs like semaglutide/extenatide etc.

The dose makes the poison. Water will kill you if you manage to drink enough, while there is almost certainly a safe dose of raw plutonium you could ingest.
With drugs, there is the effective dose/lethal dose ratio. The lethal dose should be much higher than the effective dose. Plenty of margin of error. Acetaminophen would not get approved as an OTC drug by the FDA today, because of this.
MetEnkeph@reddit
Also turns everything yellow. Your sweat, saliva, skin... we used to use it back in the early 90s to cut weight for bodybuilding or powerlifting.
The huge downside is that it's an oxidative un-coupler. The mitochondria do their thing; a series of reactions push protons outside the inner membrane. When the protons diffuse back across the membrane, ATP is generated. You also get heat. With DNP, the protons diffuse, but don't generate ATP. The result is an increase in body temperature and weight loss.
DNP is also pretty potent; the amount that will kill you isn't significantly higher than the amount that causes the 'desired' effect. Back in the day, we got it from the local gear-head. It was usually made by some bathtub pharmacist gym bro out of pool chemicals. Getting a consistent dose wasn't likely, and what you thought was 200 mg could easily be triple that. You'd hear about close calls in meets... someone ended up in a tub of ice because their temp hit 105.
Overall, it is a shitty, scary drug. But hey, you cut those 8 lbs right? Oooof.

Oh, right, there's that, but that's basically considered a toxin. The risk of organ damage and death is too high.

The ones less active include... your fat cells.)

It's a little different because steroid use leads to worse long-term health outcomes, whereas using Ozempic for weight loss leads to objectively better long-term health outcomes.

Ozempic has its side effects too. Your intestines start to degrade and might even result in the need to get surgery to fix some problems.

Agreed, but that has nothing to do with what we're talking about

womerah@reddit
What about someone who is not gaining weight but is just steady at a constant, obese weight? Would you say the mental flaws are thus resolved and ozempic is acceptable as a way of dropping the weight?
Limpopopoop@reddit
Nope. Id say lose a couple pounds eating less for 2 weeks and then go back to your normal routine. See if the weight stays of.
Ozempic is artifically fasting with chemicals. You substitute will power and restraint/self control and thus self love with a pill that you become dependent on....
How on earth is that healthier than fasting without chemicals?
womerah@reddit
I think you're moving the goal posts a bit.
When you're overeating and rapidly gaining weight, you call that lack of will power.
When you're maintaining your current weight, you are using a normal amount of willpower, right? As that's what normal, healthy weighted individuals do.
To lose weight, you need a temporary boost in willpower in order to run on a deficit.
Limpopopoop@reddit
Instead of finding willpower within to correct for the lack of willpower and unhealthy lifestyle that made you gain weight in the first place, you recurr to some external thing (that is actually dangerous) instead of finding the strenght within.
womerah@reddit
So is the goal to go from insufficient willpower to normal willpower, or to go from insufficient willpower to exceptional willpower?
Honestly I think willpower is finite and if you don't need to spend it losing weight, you can spend it elsewhere. Maybe it'll be easier to work on it once you're skinny
Limpopopoop@reddit
Maybe. Everyone has their own journey. In the end, people have to be accountable for themselves.
That doesn't detract from saying the truth. One one hand pretending a morbidly obese singer is beautiful is morally bankrupt and does harm, not good. On the other, no one is perfect or free of defects.
I think the more inner strength a person has the less reliant that person is on externalities and the more power that person has.
The more power a person has, the more he/she can influence the world.
If you have no inner strength to care for yourself how is an external thing you are dependent on going to give you strength?
I do think you are wrong in one aspect, I think inner strenght is infinite.
womerah@reddit
People who were in a bad spot and got really fat likely have a lot of things to work on that they neglected. Weight, fitness, social\romance\interests, career etc.
I see diet aids as just ways to let people spend more strength on those other aspects of their lives that a drug can't help so much with. Maybe try dating, or very targeted work at the gym?
Yeah people that say that end up as burn-outs pretty quick.
Brain is like any organ. Legs can run, but can only run so far, and afterwards they need a break.

Not really no.
This is about individuals. Dont depend on society. The drug doesnt make you healthier. It adds to depence and takes away self esteem. It also causes lots of medical problems.
womerah@reddit
Like to stop gaining weight? I agree
But to lose weight? Nah, that's not easy. Because you have to eat less energy than you expect. That's hard because it's intrinsically unsustainable (eventually you'd die) and against out biological wiring.
It does make you healthier. Whatever side effects you think it has, lets say you argue worse mental health and some cancer risks, the risks of being obese are way higher. Therefore you are healthIER if you take it.
Limpopopoop@reddit
Known Immediate risks:
Diabetic Ketoacidosis Hypoglicaemia Pancreatitis Rebound weight gain Gastroparesis
Also
This is exactly what it does it supresses your appetite and all hunger signals
womerah@reddit
Sure, but what are the immediate risks for being obese?
Heart disease, diabetes, cancer, increased joint wear, immune issues, hormone disruption, sleep apnea etc etc
Sure, it takes a hard thing and makes it easier, so we can use our energy on hard things that have to be hard (like gym training).

If youbare gonna sperg out at least get the comparison right
Both overeating to the point of being morbidly obese and substance abuse (alcohol heroin meth crack) is debasing and leads to poor life and early death
percevalgalaaz@reddit
obesity isn't a mental illness. it's several times worse than smoking, it incrases the risk of several types of cancer, it fucks up your joints, your breathing, your heart, etc. the side effects of Ozempic don't even come close to the effects of obesity. saying that is just retarded.
OriginalLocksmith436@reddit
What new diseases is he going to get from this? All it does it helps you eat less food. Which is is literally how you cure obesity with or without the drugs.
like over half of our country is debilitatingly fat. It's bad for them, bad for society, bad for the economy, bad for productivity, bad for health insurance premiums, etc etc. It's bad for everything, and only getting worse, and this has been going on long that we know for a fact that 95% of people are not strong enough to lose weight on their own. So fucking let people have this objectively good thing and just be glad for all the rewards we as a society reap from this breakthrough.
Mobile_Molasses_9876@reddit
But is Ozempic an "objectively good thing"? Is it really?
If your only metric for being a "good thing", the "Fen-Phen" combo that was popular for a few weeks before fat people realized how many fat people died taking the drugs would be ideal. Lose the weight, or die trying. Either way, my insurance provider isn't spending any money keeping you alive and fat every month.

Obesity is a long lasting self inflicted problem for the most part. People don't get obese from viruses or bacteria. They get obese from poor decisions over long periods of time.

Ozempic isn't a fat burner. You actually have to eat less and exercise to lose weight. I took ozempic for half a year and didn't lose much, because even if I didn't feel hungry I still wanted to eat. It's actually kind of disappointing because I also thought I would lose weight doing nothing with ozempic but thats not the truth at all. It helps with hunger, the rest is all on you.
Sunrider37@reddit
The hunger is the hardest part of the weight loss imo, because the more I eat, the fatter I get the more I want to it. I was just a lil overweight, but the hunger was killing me.

Ozempic isn’t a magical shot that makes you skinny. The weight loss it causes is from making their pancreas work like a normal non-diabetic pancreas and has to be followed with a good diet otherwise it won’t do shit.

He backlogged 2 years worth of videos...
...on an extremely calorie deficient diet, while getting all the proper nutrition...and an aggressive workout plan. Yeah, you can easily lose 4-5 lbs/week.
zeeo-pawn@reddit
Pretty sure it moreso 2 years not 7 months.
On his second channel he said he stopped making videos 2 years ago
Luke_Bulkwalker@reddit
Ozempic just reduces appetite, that would still require a weekly caloric deficit of 28k. Probably a shit ton of water weight
black_trans_activist@reddit
So I think his calorie deficit would have been 2800 all up.
75% from fat 25% lean mass
The man has not gotten jacked. He's been fasting. It's clear as fuck.
And for the actual fat lost add 30% water like you said.
But I think it has to be a mixture of fasting and massive calorie deficit.
akmjolnir@reddit
What do you think fasting is?
black_trans_activist@reddit
Fasting is a calorie deficit with no eating. But you can also be in a calroe deficit with reduced eating and exercise that compensates for food eaten.
palabamyo@reddit
He probably meant in a way where if he did eat he didn't eat much.

bombastic6339locks@reddit
Maybe not even ozempic but probably yeah. Just not eating and surgeries. Eating a shitload before that messes up hunger in general so might not even be ozempic. I've lost a lot of weight aswell and i dont feel hunger anymore
Jah_Ith_Ber@reddit
This happens to me when I cut. The first week is awful but after that I never feel hunger ever again despite going 24+ hours without eating.
cosplay-degenerate@reddit
Sounds like metabolism is shutting down.
palabamyo@reddit
That's just how hunger works for some, if your metabolism shuts down you literally die.
cosplay-degenerate@reddit
Your metabolism slows down when you don't move and eat properly. A good indicator for that is when you are not feeling hungry after waking up or you get sick from breakfast. Lots of people have trouble losing weight even though they practically starve themselves; Not knowing that their caloric deficit is too big and that that destroyed their metabolism and they need to reset it or else they won't see any progress other than rubberbanding.
Your body type partially determines what works for you but most people require more carbs than they realize to keep the metabolism going.
palabamyo@reddit
This is wrong and a very common misconception, you are vastly overestimating the effect undereating has on the body. If someone severely overweight starts going on a massive cut their BMR will drop by 5% at most 10%.
This is going from, say, 3000 to 2700, sure you burn 300 less per day but that doesn't matter all that much when you're only eating 1500 kcal per day, you will still lose weight. The effect of this is of course dependent on your daily intake, eating less calories -always- translates directly to more weight loss.
In the vast majority of cases the reason people aren't losing weight is because they massively underestimate how many calories they actually consume, starting with simple things such as not realizing that just 30ml of Oil you might need to fry something already has 265 kcal just by itself, a package of breaded chicken might say it has ~600 kcal for 500g but if you pan fry it you might end up using so much Oil it's closer to 1000.
cosplay-degenerate@reddit
That's not really true either, although its anecdotal to my personal experience.
I went through a phase where I was counting my calories and was excercising regularly and couldn't see any progress. My starting point was already well trained but high body fat %. I then consulted with personal trainers that came to our gym one day and they told me what I was doing wrong.
I then ate way more calories than I did before, mostly increasing my intake of carbs and only focusing on a minimal deficit of ~300kcal/day while maintaining my exercise Routine.
It took about 4 weeks before my body adapted to that and after that I was shredding bodyfat like never before. I went from around 28% down to 15%. My mood improved and I git hungry way more frequently.
My bodyfat was measured by an electric scale and those are not the most accurate. But according to the gym staff I made incredible progress. (I have been trying to get a dexa scan ever since but literally no one picks up the phone wherever I call.)
Yes you can starve yourself with a defiicit of 1500kcal too and lose weight but that slows down your metabolism to conserve the little bit of energy you do have.
Jah_Ith_Ber@reddit
You sound like an overweight woman who is too afraid to do what it takes to ever actually lose weight.
bombastic6339locks@reddit
Yeah at the start of losing weight i remember having to drink so much sugarfree sodas etc and id be like curled up in bed all annoyed trying to skip to the next day to "allow" myself the next calories but its completly gone now.
wsdpii@reddit
I've lost 105 lbs and even with ozempic I'm hungry all the time, like gut cramping levels of hunger. I just ignore it.
bombastic6339locks@reddit
Ive only lost a bit over 30 kg but my starting weight wasnt too bad either. I only eat regularly because im forced to since im in the military, even when there i can skip meals for days and not feel a thing. I think it could be connected to some mental thing as i also have extremely high pain tolerance but i have no clue. People might just be built differently.
bigCinoce@reddit
Yeah that's what hunger feels like, you just aren't as used to it.
wsdpii@reddit
It's why I started taking ozempic in the first place. Lost my first 50lbs but I was hungry constantly. Constantly in pain. I'd eat and still be hungry, even if my stomach felt full, but I had to ignore it to lose weight. Doctor said ozempic would fix the hunger pangs but it hasn't done anything. Been on it for 7 months now.
nomosolo@reddit
Ozempic doesn’t work like that. Most likely gastric bypass surgery.
Source: I take ozempic.

Overide83@reddit
Carb/sugar free plus exercises. People literally melt away fat in that state.
derkokolores@reddit
I think a lot of people are underestimating just how much weight he could have lost just from skin removal. Could be an extra 5-15kg right there depending on how bad it was. That itself shaves at least an entire month off the usual 1kg/wk (safe) deficit. Add few months backlog and all of a sudden the weight loss is still significant but not out of this world, especially if he’s on a semaglutide/tirzepatide and doesn’t have to deal with the hunger you’d normally deal with on such a deficit.
10kg skin removal, 3 extra months of weight loss (so 10 total months) is really only 10kg/month. It’s on the high end but not impossible especially in the early months

TerribleSquid@reddit
Bruh what? Are you just using random biochemistry terms now?
ignat980@reddit
It sounds like they are referencing a bit of science mixed with humor. As is typical on Reddit. My interpretation is that they’re implying that extreme weight loss like the one shown by the 4chan screenshot, is probably harmful to one’s body at even a molecular level, by mentioning telomeres. Telomeres are protective caps at the end of chromosomes that shorten as we age or undergo stress, including from poor diet and extreme weight changes. The phrase "trans fats all over his telomeres" isn't a scientifically accurate statement. While poor diet can contribute to inflammation, oxidative stress, plaque buildup in the cardiovascular system, and general cellular damage, which in turn can accelerate telomere shortening, it's not a direct action of trans fats themselves. Instead, the relationship between diet and telomere length is more indirect, through overall cellular health and damage over time.
The phrase is being used humorously to suggest that a bad diet (with trans fats) could potentially worsen this damage, even down to a deep, molecular level. In other words, they’re using biochemistry terms loosely to make a point that such a drastic transformation can’t be healthy.
As for the Christian Bale reference, Bale famously lost a dramatic amount of weight to play an emaciated insomniac in The Machinist (2004), where he dropped to around 55 kg (121 lbs). Shortly after that, he gained a significant amount of muscle mass for Batman Begins (2005). If an actor like Christian Bale can drastically lose and gain weight, theoretically, anyone could too. But there could be negative health effects, especially if done in an unhealthy way.
Hope that clears it up!
testingafewthings@reddit
There is no such this as trans fat, that’s just the woke agenda making up words
TerribleSquid@reddit
I mean a trans fat just means a fat that has double bond(s) in the trans conformation (as opposed to the cis transformation). These definitely exist.

Ever heard of Angus Barbieri? He fasted for 382 days, (under heavy medical supervision) and lost 276 pounds (125 kg).
Nikocado's fast must have been insane if it only lasted 7 months, but I heavily (kek) suspect that it lasted longer than that. Did he not stop posting for more than a year? Seems to me the timeframe is longer than just 7 months. Otherwise, this would be a world record, probably, right? Guiness doesn't do "dangerous/unhealthy" records like these anymore, but still would be a record regardlesss.
oO_Vin_Oo@reddit
Easily. I lost 26kg in about 12 months going from 123kg down to 97....and then I lost another 7 over the next 6. I managed all that just by buying myself a mountain bike and riding it 6 to 8km 3 times a week. As soon as your cardio improves, and it doesn't feel like you're literally dying when you finish a ride, it gets a lot easier....then it starts becoming fun. And before long, the flab starts melting away....it just gets easier and easier as you start to feel better and better.
I've recently gained a huge amount of weight and I'm about to do it all over again. I've done it before, so I know what to expect and ai know I can do it again.
Ozempic will melt that fat off, but it won't get you fit.
derekpearcy@reddit
2 years ago, I lost 27 pounds in 6 weeks through intermittent fasting, but that’s the longest I’ve gone in one stretch. Losing weight around twice as quickly over +3x the amount of time sounds possible, though probably not for me.

Can attest Intermittent fasting sucks. I did it for like 4 months after being stuck in bad due to an illness and gaining weight.

Andrew852456@reddit
As a former fattie it definitely does count, but there are some nuances. First of all he actually has the access to decent diet coaches and trainers, so he knows what he's doing. Second of all there might be a possibility of assistance like ozempic or surgeries. Also he's obviously not genetically predisposed to being overweight, so his body doesn't resist the weight loss all the way to that point. And he actually knew how thin he wanted to be. Anyways good for him, that's a great display of dedication and willpower, hope he'll be able to maintain it
Andrew852456@reddit
He mentioned in a video that he was away for two years with prerecorded videos, so it's a bit over 1 kg a week, which is still quite extreme but much more doable. Also weight loss is nonlinear, so this calculation may be incorrect as well

dfntly_a_HmN@reddit
2 year is possible though. He pre recorded most of his video that he actually doesn't made video for 2 year
Thewonderboy94@reddit
Yeah, new calculation would be 4.7kg a month, which is pretty doable, but that's still over 2 years and requires consistency and massive will power. It's also kinda on the edge of being "healthy" weight loss. IIRC it's not exactly good for your body either if you do weight loss too rapidly, I think I was told it can do something regarding to your pancreas (which plays a part in digestion).
My best weight loss with solid dietary change and a calorie deficit (but I didn't drop everything bad, ate regular bread as breakfast, ate a bit less sweets on the weekend) during a month was like 3.5kg, and after resuming normal diet I gained maybe less than a kilo back. Subsequent diets like that have also dropped my weight less and less (last time was barely 2kg, and gain was maybe half a kilo).
Still, I don't think I would have the discipline to do that sort of diet for more than 6 months, but I'm also not terribly fat or concerned about my weight.
Wail_Bait@reddit
Generally it's considered okay to lose 1% of your body weight per week. So depending on his starting weight it seems pretty reasonable to accomplish in 2 years.
Independent-Path-364@reddit
also consider that he got fat off of mukbangs, think its easier to stop feasting than do the usualy fat ppl stuff of eating too much of normal shit and snacking candy and chips
Thewonderboy94@reddit
That's the thing, this was either some incredible showcase of his mental fortitude and willingness to troll/make internet entertainment (by overeating with mukbang, getting somewhat obscenely fat for a long "gag", knowing that he will "simply" shed off the weight after a while, but still kept the ruse up with pre recorded videos for around 2 years), or this is a cope/act even currently and he was massively fucked up in his personal life and had some sort of big intervention.
I can't see it being anything in-between, I don't think he gradually came to conclusion that he's on a bad path and after some self reflection started improving his health. It has to be one of the extremes.
I'm thinking it was probably mostly planned and it was relatively easy for him to go back to normal weight, but that's still pretty fucking crazy, maybe not the fat loss itself but the fact that he even went through the whole cycle and planned it ahead of time.

When you’re super fat, your TDEE (calories needed to maintain your weight) is very high.
So, even just eating like a normal person again, it’s pretty easy to keep a caloric deficit. So you can drop weight pretty fast, even faster if you’re trying.
If you’re a fat fuck and it takes 4000 calories a day to maintain your weight… just start eating like normal person (2500 a day). All of a sudden you have a 1500 calorie deficit and you’re losing 2-3lbs a week until you look normal. And that’s without exercise and diet.

tarantulagb@reddit
He lost the weight?!
DigitalCoffee@reddit
It was 2 years, not 7 months.
GreenSog@reddit
His videos were pre recorded. It has not been 7 months
rustypennyy@reddit
I’m also doing this, albeit not as dramatic. 171lbs lost in 17 months
droogvertical@reddit
There are still photos of him doing dark, dark things on the internet which will never go away.
Bleach_Baths@reddit
I mean, this guy is out of his fucking mind, and I hate his content.
But props to him for dropping the weight, even if it took some medication. Good for him man.
KingofTheTorrentine@reddit
Nick is a psycho. I'm inclined to believe he might've gone whole days without eating.
DaFunkable@reddit
Oh Christ, it’s real. I thought it was a deepfake.
Necroverdose@reddit
He said 2 years, not 7 months.
SavedMountain@reddit
try 2 years
LLMprophet@reddit
People still don't know about Ozempic
SmoothSentiment@reddit
Who in the fuck cares saw this for 5 seconds cringed out of my skin left. Who in the fuck posts this shit.
Yellow_Shirted_Kid16@reddit
Millions of people tuned into this, so SOMEONE cares. I don't get why though
hectic_scone@reddit
amphetamine abuse or liposuction, either way he took the easy route. it won't actually change his eating habits or get him to exercise at all, so it's still an L for him lmao
SpaceBean12@reddit
I thought he’s dead
Yellow_Shirted_Kid16@reddit
I think he is. That is NOT the same guy
greggaravani@reddit
Wish.
BadB0ii@reddit
technically, most of him is
diposable66@reddit
You can see how the skin under his armpits is loose. It's real.
Yellow_Shirted_Kid16@reddit
That is NOT the same guy. Look at their pictures side by side. All the details of tge face are wrong
CatMan_Sad@reddit
Hey good for him.
Wise-Ad2183@reddit
a paid actor probably.
JustifiedCroissant@reddit
Lot of people seething because they can't laugh at him for his weight anymore
applebottomgenies@reddit
He on that ozempi for sure
LucidDayDreamer247@reddit
It isn't and he's blatantly lying for views.
JustifiedCroissant@reddit
Actually 2 years. More realistic but still impressive
comedordecurioso69@reddit
It was actually 2 years, he pre recorded videos and posted for two years while losing a lot of weight
lobotominizer@reddit
will power.
Wadziu@reddit
He admitted in the video he didnt record anything for two years and only release pre recorded videos. It took him 2 years to loose this weight.
FetryCZ@reddit
A lot of his videos were prerecorded (that means he had a bit more time than 7 months) + you can lose a bunch of weight just by having a ginormous caloric deficit. Considering he didn't mind his health being damaged by being extremely obese he probably didn't mind essentially starving himself while losing all of that weight. Also people tend to forget that he was a vegan with a nutritionist background before he started doing mukbangs.
m1serablist@reddit
A kg fat has 7k cals. Unless you had in same levels of edema it is indeed impossible. You'd have to starve yourself and run marathons.
ChuckMongo@reddit
And yet I've seen extreme weight loss work more than once.
You people spout the 7000 calorie argument like it's gospel even though we don't know what his TDEE was. We don't know what he was eating or taking. And don't know the exact total time it took. And we don't know his body composition at the start or end of the weight loss.
You're not doing the exact science so don't go on about the science. He was probably just intermittently starving himself. Maybe with ozenpic. Maybe with amphetamines. Or maybe just by having someone lock him In a room for weeks at a time. Who knows.
m1serablist@reddit
The op said 7 months, I said impossible. What you mention are indeed factors are true. But the weightloss in the op is impossible.
BotAccount2849@reddit
It was longer than 7 months. The last collab video was 2 years ago, so he's had at most that much time to burn it off, which is reasonable.
EffectiveLimit@reddit
At 200 kg weight just sustaining it requires like 3.5-4k calories daily. If you start eating only 1000-1500 calories, even assuming all of it is fat you will be losing like 2 kg per week, which is 100 kg per year. And yeah, he said in the videos he hasn't recorded anything for 2 years so he has been losing it since then most likely, which is much more manageable.
nsouTiodapadocalouca@reddit
Consider water weight
BadB0ii@reddit
no
oxyloug@reddit
I think he's been on a diet for 2 years, recorded videos in advance.
judasmonk@reddit
The glory that is ozempic.
Homie was FATT though so his pancreas is useless now with all the shots he'd have to had taken
chris_chan8426@reddit

greggaravani@reddit
After destroying his body for a decade? I don’t think so.
greggaravani@reddit
He was gone for 2 years, he had 7 months of content to upload. He’s still disgusting to look at.

Is that really him ?
Atlas001@reddit
I heard he actually havent mad a video in 2 years (all videos were a backlog) , making the weight loss much less drastic (but still impressive)
OkConcentrate4218@reddit
I managed to lose a kilo a day, but I could only keep it up for five days, doing that for 7 months is insane

PixelSpy@reddit
Probably helps he's naturally skinny. I think the only reason he held all that weight was because he was putting in active effort to gain it and maintain it.
Accomplished-Okra866@reddit
Weight loss is crazy fast when you're morbidly obese. Just to maintain his weight on his height he must've been eating easily over 6-7000cals daily. Drop to 3000 and thats brings the total deficit to around 30,000cals a week (1lbs of fat is 3500cals) so thats 8.8lbs/4kg a week. But thats assuming it was all fat, probably a solid part of it really was just water weight and bloat.
ironandtwine9@reddit
It's because he quit eating a very fatty food call avocados.
jsw56@reddit
i genuinely think he planned this out at least a year ago as a hail mary to garner as much attention as possible
sunshineandcacti@reddit
He used to have a similar build too when he was vegan. Part of me wonders if it’s partly due to the fact he’s one of those people who can easily loose weight on their own.
I’m sort of happy Nick is finally taking his health serious.
ionized_fallout@reddit
Keep giving this narcissist attention!
pccalcio@reddit
Community Notes on X has corrected this by saying that it took him about 2 years, not 7 months.
Knarkopolo@reddit
I don't care if he took DNP or CLEN. That or even in double the time frame is impressive. I'm happy for him.
weierstrab2pi@reddit
Surely that's not... it can't be... can it?!
Knarkopolo@reddit
I wonder what his daily kcal/kj intake was to gain all the weight
cnl2000@reddit
anyone else thinking backlogging videos doesnt make sense. his videos include recent topics and hes literally sat with meatcanyon under a year ago unless he was in on it which is stupid and impossible. he has to have done this in under a year but how ????
Dynwynn@reddit
Just took a fat shit
DerpageOnline@reddit
Is that Nicado? Bogey in shambles
Lexarian@reddit
In another post someone mentioned how his last video might not have been a recent film. So its possible its been longer then 7 months. Someone had said 2 years but idk where they got that info
Fangus319@reddit
A comment elsewhere said that backlogged 2 years worth of videos.

guyongha_@reddit
It’s possible, you just have to lose a little more than 0.5kg per day and you gotta consider he was very fat before
PIatinumP0tato@reddit
Not impossible. I lost almost 100lbs in six months, 180 overall in about a year and a half
Pola2020@reddit
He's just built different
pee_nut_ninja@reddit
I can't really argue with that.
iwgslwnn@reddit
He said he didn’t upload videos for two years
BeenEatinBeans@reddit
Well first of all, through God all things are possible, so jot that down
iohoj@reddit
He probably at least had a few videos filmed before he went away as a backlog
Rekt0Rama@reddit
Imagine the excess skin
TNTspaz@reddit
Honestly. Seems like he got help right before this would have become a serious issue.
Beetkiller@reddit
He ran a feeding fetish onlyfans. He didn't need help, he was earning money.
hondaelias@reddit
It doesn’t even look like he has much, which is very impressive. Can’t see the belly though.
sweaty_lorenzo@reddit
I thought it was over 2 years, and he made enough videos to keep him going during that time

TechnoSnob2912@reddit
What a fucking legend lol
TNTspaz@reddit
He hasn't really made that many videos in the past two years. So this would make sense. He basically just made the same video a dozen times and uploaded those every few months.
ElezerHan@reddit
Probably backlogged a lot of vids, probably took around a year with an extreme calorie deficit. Maybe it is photoshop idk lmao
GreyMASTA@reddit
Whos this?
gh04t@reddit
Im not sure as I do not follow this guy, but is this Nikocado Avocado (was that his name?). But I guess that only bases on the red shirt, the fact that he was fat before and that face kind off look like him

Fat people lose alot of extra wight really fast due to the fact if I'd killing then
Lest say you are 300lbs and you want to reach 180lbs you will lose like 30lb in the first month and next month it will be 20lb you will continue to lose wight like till you become overweight like around 230lbs if you are
August323@reddit
Which is bad, the quicker you lose weight, the more loose skin you have, try to lose 8-16 pounds a month while weight training to reduce this. Give your skin time to adapt.

the less fat they become, the less people they are, so they lose less fat

actually he said he pre-recorded a bunch of content and he started losing weight 2 years ago
romanticizeyourlife@reddit
If this really was a social experiment all along, I’m going to need him to write a book or do a documentary explaining the entire thing. I want to know how he came up with the idea, if he ever felt himself getting lost in the experiment after a few years, how he was able to commit so hard to something so drastic, why he did it, and where he plans to go from here. I genuinely think a book or documentary about this whole thing would be extremely successful.
