his eating disorder is his paycheck. let that sink in.
same with Eugenia cooney😞😞💔
@@skylarbrasch3653 true but with her the suffering is so obvious that anorexic teenagers probably are inspired by her. the avocado guy is „entertainment“ to some.
All the vegan youtubers too
@Falhawk73 Not a contest.
I was thinking that too, expecting this to be the set up for his 3rd act.
I don't see how whatever amount of money he's making from his mukbang videos could be worth how much he's destroying his health 🙁
Don't forget his OnlyFans account...
I feel like his lifestyle now is purely masochistic. He's just in a downward spiral of self-torment, destroying his health, self-worth, and relationships simultaneously and putting it online for everyone to hate-watch and ridicule, knowing full well that this is why people are watching. He's made self-loathing a part of his identity.
@@Fabdanc Wait..what...oh my god..., tell me you're kidding, there is no way this fat blob has onlyfans o.O I cant imagine someone watching him do....ugh You are trolling right? :p
@@Kristers_K Dude... it’s straight up porn. Like actual porn. I like porn as much as the next person who doesn’t want to admit it... but what that man posts on there is absolutely disgusting and I feel like he will regret posting a lot of it three decades from now.
He's making a shit ton of money bro. He could just hire a personal trainer and get back in shape at any given time.
Nicocado: I have brain fog, I think I need omega 3s
Everyone: How about algae or supplem...
Nicocado: I need to order everything at burger king
His "brain fog" was in part caused by a sleeping disorder.
I can’t digest supplements or the available forms of algae at my supermarket/online. Any suggestions?
@@SynterraSteen Take krill oil, it is well aborded.
Edit: Krill are a micro- organism but entoveganism is preferable to the alternative.
@@SynterraSteen are you deficient in omega3? If you are, then try eating grounded flax seeds with your breakfast. Incorporate chia and hemp seeds in your breakfast and dishes, as well as flax seed oil. There are many ways, Dr. Greger talks about it, Bite size vegan has videos, Mic the vegan should also have videos on it.
@Impolite Vegan. Acrecute.
We really need to emphasise that veganism is NOT a diet, cus people just don't seem to f*cking understand
@@pacmanmcgavin7034, no - Veganism itself is a moral philosophy. A plant-based diet that can be referred to as a "Vegan Diet" is a diet. Veganism itself is not limited to just abstaining from animal exploration for food, but it includes (as far as possible and practicable, when options are available) abstaining from other products, such as clothing and other commodities, and services that exploit and kill animals.
Anybody who just refers to Veganism, or being a Vegan, as just a diet does not understand Veganism.
@@pacmanmcgavin7034 ya but pacman mcgavin seemed confused lol
@@pacmanmcgavin7034 it’s my normal. I am not restricted and I feel amazing. 7 years and for life :)
@@Prettymapleleaf thats amazing. i wish i started earlier in my life (for the right reason) stay well! :)
@@Prettymapleleaf 7 years is fantastic, good on you! :)
I don’t real see how an isolated fructose study explains how high fruit consumption causes health issues.
No level of a variety of fruit is found to ever cause health issues.
Exactly!
Don't ever stop explaining where Omega 3s come from because apparently people STILL aren't getting it. Another super video, Mic!
Facts or as I say flax.
Do you have a DHA supplement brand that you recommend?
@Az Lean any scientific evidence that ppl can’t absorb Dha from algae well? No ok
Algae oil is good, but it's just not affordable for many, 25 euros or so, plus delivery, for like 60 capsules...or something, or perhaps 90, don't remember exactly, amount which goes only for a month is not something people with limited budget are willing to invest in, especially in times like these, more so if you're using other supplements. Now true, i have a lot of chia and hemp seeds in my diet, but for anyone who says ''just take algae oil'', i would have to say no.
Plus, last time i looked, it was sourced from US, at least on iherb,, so for me in Europe that can mean large customs fee, so there's that. If there was any in UK, that would be alot cheaper, but still.
@@King_Kenlee I've been watching nutrition channels for many years now and there was always the idea in the vegan community that the omega3s should come from flax, chia, and walnuts. It was always known that there was a conversion rate, some doctors saying it was up to 20% on healthy individuals. Nowadays, it is known that the older you get the lower the conversion rate. Then the narrative has changed that you should supplement with algae, which is a new alternative source for vegans.
So, if you wanna waste your youth with this poor conversion, by all means. Also, if you wanna just believe in the pseudo "science" behind a new unnatural algae supplement, please do so.
Now, you can observe a BUNCH of people saying that they had brain fog on a vegan diet, and when introduced fish and eggs the brain fog was gone within a couple of weeks.
Keep following whatever you do blindly, it will work wonders for you.
That poor kid seems highly depressed. His highly unstable diet seems representative of his internal battle to me.

Well the gut is the second brain and his microbiome must have some serious damage...
how is he a child
As problematic as he is... I feel really sorry for him, and I think he needs psychiatric help. He clearly has always had a very unhealthy relationship with food, and honestly I don't think working as a content creator is ideal for a person with his kind of vices. If he doesn't get help, I just don't want to see where he ends up, because at this rate he's headed for trouble.
well he seems riding a huge excuse for his bad habits, so whatever happens he will blame whatever he believes is to blame - for example his past vegan days :)
Yes, totally agree. My concern is that he looks like he is about my height. His BMI is way beyond where it's supposed to be. I don't know how his body is functioning, that's a lot of weight for his small frame. He didn't look too skinny back then for his height. If he wanted he could have put on some muscle. He was also more attractive back then, he was a good looking guy.
Yeah it’s really just sad all around
omg yess, poor kid... and the fact that he's making money and getting recognition for his terrible diet is not helping.
Agree. I don't watch any Nikocado videos but I'm aware of him. It seems like he's in a vicious cycle. I wonder if at some point those in his family might stage some sort off intervention off social media x
These studies were done on isolate fructose which doesn’t come with fiber, antioxidants etc. This is like comparing cocaine to the coca plant (which, when eaten in it’s whole form was find to NEVER create the same addictiveness or response to the body as cocaine (it merely gave a bit of an energy pick me up similar to caffeine)
You didn't address the SIBO issue though. Fiber is what makes it so all those nutrients get down to the intestines, where your gut bacteria eat it. Too much fructose for your gut bacteria will cause an overgrowth and cause those bacteria to grow into parts of the digestive tract they aren't supposed to be in
@@smudge8882 Fruit won't cause that. Fruit is not the same as fructose. The amount of fructose in fruit is diluted by water and fiber.
I speak as somebody who has SIBO-related IBS. Eating fruit regularly was part of what has lead to an 80 percent reduction in symptoms.
In addition, most pathogenic, harmful bacteria eat branch chain amino acids found in meat, not fructose or fiber. Most fructose in fruit doesn't even reach you lower small intestine, it gets absorbed before then.
You say that but what about the geese they fed dates to give them fatty liver, from the video. Don't think excess fructose is completely harmless even if fruit is obviously healthy.
@@ns1extreme Goose Biology is not Human Biology. You cannot draw conclusions about Human Diet based off anything fed to, or not fed to, animals
I would love to see him healthy
This one right here.
I used to watch him when he was vegan. He and his husband were so cute! He used to post all of these really nice feel good videos. It’s unbelievable what he’s turned into.
Same.
Does anyone know what happened to the sweet little sloth he bought for a pet? Sloths really shouldn't be sold as pets, and I often wonder if that sweet little sloth is in a better home now. Hearing Nik ranting on videos every day would be stressful for any pet, especially a shy and quiet one like a sloth.😢
@@zxyatiywariii8 For real!??? He has a SLOTH!? 😢
Veganism really needs to be separated from fad diets. I'm sick of getting adverts about insane diet programmes because I watch educational vegan stuff on UA-cam
Mic, I made a response on my channel. This video is a huge disappointment as I prefer not to make videos responding to other vegans. But you are spreading damaging outdated misinformation. The video is filled with logical fallacies. Misleading and inaccurate. I hope you at least edit out the blatant inaccuracies. Main points below:
- As I prove in my video Nikocado was *starving himself on a high fruit diet* hence his low body weight.
- Nik was eating a low fruit, high starch diet long before “going back” to eating animals.
- The study you reference for “Fructose Absorption Limit" is using a lab synthesized chemical isolate form of fructose therefore not comparable to whole fruit ingestion.
The study is therefore invalid.
- Participants had a dose of isolated fructose solution which is not the same as a day of ingesting fruit.
- Humans are ingesting HFCS in their foods & fructose in whole fruit with the addition of glucose not a dose of an isolated fructose molecule. The addition of glucose facilitates the uptake of fructose and drastically decreases any fructose malabsorption issues.
- Regarding Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease... your own study debunked you. The author states *“fruit is not associated with NAFLD”*. The author also has a patent for fructose-inhibitors which means they are biased and have a clear conflict of interest.
- You cannot use a force-feeding study on Geese to demonstrate the ill effects of fructose in humans. As Dr Greger points out - We are frugivores, Geese are not and have a different digestive process for fructose.
- In other videos you emphasize the importance of using vegans in studies but vegans were not used in yours.
- 30 bananas a day is not a diet, it’s a website name. Notice I didn't name it "30 doses of isolated fructose a day" ?
- The leading dietary risk factor for death has been noted as *not eating enough fruit*.
Responsible for millions of deaths every year. Videos like this do not help reverse that trend, only add to the problem.
Please consider making these changes or removing the video as it is damaging.
Thanks.
Good points!! Thanks!
Great answer, Freelee 💪 Can’t wait for your response video
love this!!
Good points Freelee!! Fruit life should not be bashed it's so healthy! I feel amazing eating tons of fruit now as an athlete all thanks to you xxxx
Fruit is life!!!! And leafy greens too
Bro what even is this lmao citing studies about soda pop and saying “these people” over and over? Who are these people? Who is eating 30 bananas a day as their sole dietary intake? And a study about high fructose corn syrup and you equate that to whole food fruit? 😭😂 this is so bizarre and weird
He's referring to fruititarians. They are a small subset of the vegan community that only eats fruit and nothing else. Pretty dangerous, and honestly crazy, but they are indeed out there. My sister actually almost went fruititarian, although it turned out there were mental health issues at play with that decision.
@@smudge8882 fruitarians don't consume a chemical isolate of high fructose corn syrup... Nico wasnt even frutiarian. Watch this video and educate your self on the truth of how misleading Mics video is. ua-cam.com/video/PwZpQ8x4FuM/v-deo.html
This video made perfect sense. I had never heard of fruitarianism and it all was well stated.
"Tik tok hates vegans" 😂 I just started a tik tok and they sure do Mic its ridiculous. As for the video this guy has an eating disorder
@@Jbbb123 just all the content is very anti vegan for example 2 of the most trending videos with the #vegan is one guy singing about how eating plants is wrong and another guy carving up a dead cow carcus and his goal was to make it the top trending vegan video on tik tok and it worked both videos over 2 million hearts and thousands of comments with people laughing and praising them
@@Jbbb123 it actually is pretty bad even some of the fellow vegans on there are the like really cringy ones. There's this one vegan teacher and she's the basically the worst representation of a vegan very judgy and she's the biggest vegan tik tokker on there and everyone hates her then somehow thinks we're all like her
It's working! We have triggered society. They can't stop talking about veganism. They are obsessed. We have to keep it up and go in harder.
Well tictok is Chinese and controlled by the CCP. They are communist, anti freedom and anti western culture. It is a platform for China to spy and collect information. They collect all your information from there. It’s banned for use by Australian and US military. Only fools use tic toc
@@350vic "It is a platform for China to spy and collect information. They collect all your information from there." This is true of most Silicon Valley social media platforms and US intelligence agencies. This was revealed by Edward Snowdon. It's not just China that does that.
I saw a compilation video that compared Nikocado's old (vegan) videos to his more recent (definitely not vegan) videos and there were actually people in the comments saying that he seems much happier now that he ditched his vegan lifestyle. Oh yes, he is the very essence of mental and emotional health these days, no doubt.
People are so desperate to confirm their biases, aren't they! lol
Can you imagine what they would be saying about his transformation if he'd achieved it by *going* vegan rather than leaving it?
I’ve never been happier than I have since going vegan (and making more effort to be sustainable in other ways). Not only did I cure my digestive issues and headaches, but I have more energy, more purpose, and a clear conscience. I just wish I’d done it sooner!
however, you can argue that the only reason why he is happier now is due to the fact that he was a RAW vegan. it did not work for him and he even went on and on about how he’d consume such large amounts of fruits and vegetables to only feel hungry after an hour or so. he even had to buy fruit and vegetables that may have been rotten just to get eat enough. clearly, he should’ve ditched the raw vegan diet and switched to simply vegan. however, i do indeed think he’s happier now to some degree, as at least he doesn’t feel as though he’s starving himself, now though he’s really starving himself of nutrients. but he does have an eating disorder and i hope he recovers :(
(i wanna just add that im not dismissing people who choose to have raw vegan diets, but i’m just saying it didn’t work for nikocado avocado!)
@@jayqwuan That's why it's best to follow a whole food diet, not a raw or fruitarian diet.
I don’t get it. My brain gets “foggy” every autumn when the days become shorter and the weather change. Everyone you talk to (non-vegans) says they go through the same thing. Then it passes and the body adapts to the low light.
It’s called winter depression and it’s normal in the north.
If you live in the north a vitamin d supplement helps massively
Is that the same as Seasonal Affective Disorder? Something about circadian rhythms being thrown off because of the reduced levels of sunlight?
@@thatveganchick668 Yes, and it has a (less common) opposite too: Reverse Seasonal Affective Disorder. That causes the same problems, but in spring instead of autumn.
@@zxyatiywariii8 Thanks. I didn’t know that.
I say we just stop acknowledging him, stop giving him the attention that keeps his channel going.
Yeah I feel that. Not giving him the attention he seeks is the only way to show him what we mean.
I feel the same about all of these "response" videos, but I guess that's what keeps Mic's channel going.
@@cheezheadz3928 I'm sure when you have a schedule to meet that coming up with consistent content can be a challenge, so things like this may be welcoming as less effort than inventing material from scratch, especially for a college student.
I don't understand how these channels become so popular!! It's sad to watch. He needs help.
@@TheGreenBean Well I think it's directly tied into the culture of our general population. Most people eat a terrible diet, only less exorbitantly, so it is likely that they feel a certain kinship with his openness, self acceptance, popularity, and yet with the very same faults only magnified.
It's just sad to watch for me. The dude really should consider getting some help to get his life back on track.
Nick makes around 40k a month, and gets tons of attention for just eating; I can't imagine him changing his lifestyle when he is rewarded for binge eating.
@@MedlingKids
Seriously?! Maybe I should do vegan mukbang
I can’t tell if he’s just looking for attention or if there’s genuinely something wrong with him...
I feel a bit of both. Its painful to watch.
Both. Cluster b personality disorder probably.
We need to call meat by its accurate name, which is CORPSE. From now on we need to call meat, corpse. The last time I ate corpse was about 7 years ago.
@@hilomona 😂🤣😂
@@bonchidude yes
Oh my word, I mean he was a bit skinny living on bananas (not ideal), but looked much healtier than he does now. I would choose bananas and avocados over processed oily fiberless junk any day, but thats just me. Problems will arrive and when they do, he will run back to plants. If his brain hasnt shrunk too much by that point or he hasnt had a heart attack.
I agree..he looked really good.
He was living off AVOCADOS, hence the name, not bananas or a real variety of fruit, or food in general. He was eating excessive amounts of avocados, and that's basically vegan keto. All his symptoms align with adverse effects of the keto diet.
So much misinformation and sloppy science in this video regarding whole foods fruit and people who eat a lot of fruit. I'm really disappointed in you Mike.
Do you have better science regarding a fruitarian diet?
I followed his channel before he started the god awful non-vegan junk food diet. He was a talented classical musician and made some really artful videos. But what a drama queen, not a lot of common sense. Very tragic. I hope he can come to some equilibrium someday.
He will find equilibrium in the microbes of the dirt they bury him under. Too bad that people can't pry their eyes away from a wreck in progress.
vegetarianism saved me from an eating disorder one year ago, now I'm going strong for veganism!!
Superb!!

Stop spreading false information. You clearly said you have zero experience with high fruit diet.
Omg the fructose thing is so interesting!!! Finally an explanation to this crazy fruitarian diet.
That fructose absorption study has to be wrong. Fruit is like 80% water. The volume to calorie ratio is so high w fruit its impossible to even eat 3k calories a day consistently of fruit. U would literally be peeing like 50 times a day. Simply put fruit has no nutrition label. Unripe fruit has allegedly very few calories. So there is not a very easy way to guage calories on fruit. But take mango for instant. A 3 pound bag of frozen mango is 800 calories. So u would have to eat 10 pounds of mango a day to maintain a 20 bmi. And mango is one of the sweeter more caloric dense fruits. You go the orange route or watermelon route its upward of 20-30 pounds of each to reach 20 bmi maintaince. I say all this bc I was a fruitarian eating 15 lbs of fruit some days. And I kept a razor sharp six pack every day. Simply bc its so much water.
@@Zades-Reflections 1lb of Medjool dates is 1200 kCal and 290 grams of carbohydrate, and that is after subtracting fibre. Four regular-sized bananas are about 425 kCal and 97 g of carbs minus fibre. This is roughly equal to a pound. That is approximately 70g of fructose in 1 lb. of dates and 23g of fructose in 4 bananas. So if someone made a smoothie with 10 bananas and 4 dates that would be approximately 75g of fructose. That is not impossible or unusual on a fruitarian diet.
@Cheap Lazy Vegan
Well... on that topic...
Coupla decades ago (in a Galaxy far far away 😋)....
I worked at the Copella Apple Juice Factory in Suffolk.
By default I was Fruitarian (about 80% of my food intake [by volume] was apples).
I have never had such amazing energy and focus (cleared up my ADHD); might be an idea that I investigate going back to it... even if only temporarily.
(Only downside was constantly worrying about where the nearest lavatory was... tmi &c.).
Sidenote... I was literally packing up my lunch for work tomorrow and I was, again, literally thinking, "Hey I'm a cheap lazy vegan too.",
... and then I saw your comment.
Synchronicity, I believe is the term.
Best wishes.
😌
@Guts Glory Fruitarians are a type of vegan so your entire "point" already is ridiculous as it makes no sense. Jeez.
Also gotta love a kid going specifically to vegan channels to talk bad about veganism, yet seems to not understand the fact that fruitarians are vegans aswell. Genius.
@Guts Glory
ADHD being what it is,
... I was messed up before I went Vegan; messed up is what I always will be but,
... I've learned, that the parts of my brain, which do not work, are very much, the parts of Ted Bundy's that did.
Let's all try to be grateful for that much.
😔
Anyone here to like FREELEE’s comment/backed research that doesn’t seem to be here anymore?
The comment is still there (:
It's still here.
I just want to say that I joined the vegan community about 2 months ago and it has completely changed my opinion about vegans ❤️❤️ in all the groups on social media where I have joined the people are really kind and understanding and supportive ❤️ I love being vegan 🌱
people do many weird things. I'm sure it's not your first nor last mistake. people are in veganism either to lose weight or to give an otherwise meaningless life some meaning.
based on your avatar, and I have to note that you're very pretty, I wouldn’t say you should lose any weight.
Welcome, Zuzanna. Where I live, we mostly share new vegan food products (almost always unhealthy haha) But it's also a place to ask questions and notify everyone on events. I'm glad you've also had a good experience. Though, sometimes people complain about products in plastic packaging.
@@rowenaanderson3739 oh thank you 🙂 that is so nice 🙂 I feel like without unhealthy food it is not a proper diet 😂😂 well complains about plastic packaging is at least good for the environment but I feel like most of groups on Facebook are full of hate for no reason. But In 6 vegan groups I joined there is no hate whatsoever and people are so kind to each other ❤️🌱
Hey Mike, not sure if you've seen the freelee video on this video yet, but I'd really appreciate if you could respond and clear up some stuff
Hello Mic, I know this is incredibly random, but my therapist actually recommended you as a healthy UA-cam influencer to watch so I can get some help with my eating disorder. I’m 17 years old, 5’3, and I weigh around 100 pounds. I often feel cold and weak because of my awful relationship and fear of food. Just like anyone with an eating disorder I have safe foods that vegans would eat such as low calorie fruits and vegetables. Because of my high metabolism, the weight keeps dropping off, more and more.. I’ve been on a journey to get better and I’ve found that Veganism would be the best for me as my relationship with fatty meat and dairy products make me physically sick through panic. Right now I’m eating around 400 calories each day and it’s starting to really hurt me. If anyone has any idea on how to slowly move towards a healthy vegan diet from an eating disorder I’d be really grateful.
Thank you so much 🤍
I don't know how to help other than to comment and upvote so your question doesn't disappear. You are on the right path by asking help though, good luck!
Eating less, more often could be easier than having full meals. I'd suggest you try cannabis to help make you hungry, but you're too young to recommend it to
I am not a doctor or psychologist, but I am so proud of you for trying to turn your mental and physical health around. I am a big fan of Mic, so obviously I recommend a whole foods plant based diet. Also, watch his and Doctor Greger's (nutritionfacts.org) content. Knowing the bredth and depth of health benefits of whole plant foods may soften your anxiety around food. Foods like steel cut oats, beans, and potatoes are super satiating and nutritious and are good places to start. Refined products like white or whole wheat breads can help bulk up your calories but aren't as healthy and could negatively affect your anxiety and fear of food. Regularly eating more calorie dense vegetables could feel safer but give you maximum nutrition
Please go to real nutritionist. Dont listen to youtube bs
@@nastigyal152 I'v had an ed dietician and all they do is push animal products and other processed foods which keep people sick and in an unhealthy relationship with food...
He should be an advertisement against the typical western ways of eating, consumerism and gluttony in general. It's a perfect way to show the rest of the world why they don't want to be like us. Seems like all he does is cry and shove dead animals into his mouth in exorbitant quantities.
Also, he seems like the poster boy for why people are homophobic.
He needs like a team of therapists.
What does this have to do with homophobia ?
@@CJA32able he's just saying he is also giving gay men a bad name what with his constant crying and cheating on his husband giving him STD'S and what not. People shouldn't be homophobic but he is an ideal scapegoat for those who are like "but see gay man bad!"
I wouldn’t say he got “vilified for eating avocados by the high carb community” ... I was around as a watcher and I seem to remember dude ate 10 avocados one time, then his next video whined about how he felt sick. Had to next dude for overall general wackness long before he quit veganism
I just can't fathom people's wackness.

It's the addiction talking combined with vulnerable and insecure egos. Binge eating is a cry for help and attention. He should go see a psychologist to sort out his emotional issues.
Great explanation on fructose and fruitarianism.
Three worst types of channels in UA-cam: Aggressive fat activists, ex-vegans and extreme vegans who eat nothing but fruit and gaze the sun.

Hi Mic, I really like your videos and your scientific approach to rebutting the more ridiculous carnist arguments, but I have to respectfully disagree with your characterisation of the fruitarian lifestyle:-
(1) you make some pretty gross generalisations about the lifestyle (eg that there is a culture of extreme cardio exercise - as far as I know, none of my fruitarian friends, even long-term ones, engage in "extreme cardio") - I think you are actually referring to a specific sector even within fruitarianism (and in particular, a certain group of individuals who shall not be named here lol). Just like veganism, fruitarianism has MANY forms and there are MANY ways to be a fruitarian. No two fruitarians eat the same way, just like no two vegans eat the same way. I think this is relevant to point out, as the vast majority of people are simply unaware of it and comments from respected (amongst vegans, at any rate) channels like yours, leads to further unnecessary (and undesirable!) bias/prejudice.
(2) This is sort of an offshoot of the first, but regarding the low BMI of fruitarians. I just feel like it needs to be said that, just like there are vegan bodybuilders, there are fruitarian body builders who are able to build and maintain a muscular physique. Just from your comments in this video, you seem to be unaware of this (which is not surprising, as fruitarian bodybuilders are RARE - even rarer than vegan bodybuilders!) Also,
(3) perhaps you have done this in a previous video, but I would love to hear your thoughts about raw foodism. To tell you the truth, to my knowledge there is a PAUCITY of studies or even ANY significant level of research in this area, which would make meaningful scientific discussion rather difficult, for lack of a better word. I find this lack of research surprising, given that human beings are the only species roaming this planet (other than domesticated animals - which suffer similar sorts of dietary disease as we humans do!) that consumes cooked food. The easiest example I can give is obesity - we simply do not see wild animals (who eat foods in their natural, uncooked form) becoming fat and obese the way that we see domesticated animals (pets, livestock) do. Perhaps we will see more research in this area in the years to come.
I hope this makes sense, and that you take this for what it is intended to be - constructive criticism - and not as an attack. I love your work, your delivery and sense of humour (including your wigs haha!) and your channel.
Dates are still the healthiest sweetner though.
Dates are awesome i believe he mentioned being an issue if you consume it on a grand level
And no one eats 2kg of dates
I actually became vegan after having so many teeth problems and found out our teeth aren’t made to eat meat.. went vegan teeth became so much better even though I need work done and have a long way to go they’re a lot better
Thats not true.
Humans are natural omnivorous creatures.
Evolution has had humans eat meat and fruits.
We naturally are driven to fats and sweets.
The problem is most humans get fats from processed foods and sweets from junk food.
However meat was our staple most of the time.
Carbs and sugar from todays food is the root cause of health issues
then why can i eat meat? seems like youre just weak
What in the world ... is the point of talking sh*t about fruit? 😂 Have we not realized that most of the “research” is out there is highly “cultivated” for certain outcomes in particular, and ultimately totally manipulated? Some people like fruit.
He's not saying fruit is bad. He's saying only eating fruit and nothing else is bad. You can't survive from just eating 50 bananas a day
This is two in a row that I got a vegan ad before the video! Usually it’s ads for meat. 👍👍👍
"My stomach was empty" *proceeds to shake intestine and lower excess belly fat* "I looked cute and healthy, but". It's not about looks.. his mindset needs help.
Me: looking 👀 for Freelee’s comments
Look at her her response video she just put out
I love how extreme you are Mic......extremely smart, level headed, scientific and compassionate.
Check out, The Frugivore's channel for the whole truth!!!
Hi, please dont really rely on his (lack of) knowledge.
Dude you have no idea what youre talking about. Bashing a whole way of eating by watching one guy that was eating horribly wrong? I have never felt better than on high fruit/high carb diet and so is my mom who has SM disease. It's autoimmune disease that you need to be very careful on with diet. Her nuro told her to eat like this even tho I live in country of meat and dairy. Im eating high fruit since I can only remember and if you want we can compare our health tests ;) belive my, my health is PERFECTA. Nico has eating disorder. Thats different
what are you talking about Mic literally promotes a high carb diet
he was skinny because he has a small thin skeleton (genetics) and didnt workout at all, not because of his vegan diet, lmao.
+not eating Enough
I'm always ready to start roasting the frugivore diet. Those youtubers fueled so many eating disorders and gave veganism an awful rep.
Fruitarian is the word you're looking for. Humans ARE frugivores, a frugivore diet does includes vegetables nuts and seeds.
You can't roast fruitarians, it's not allowed on their diet. You have to give them a raw deal instead... 😉 I'll get my coat...
High fruit diet doesnt mean you dont eat anything else but fruit lol
Them: "I need fish for omegas because I care about my health"
Also them: "Watch me eat 60 chicken nuggets and drink 6 large mountain dews."
Would this really cause a fatty liver with whole fruits though? Not saying fruitarianism is optimal but is there really evidence that eating a lot of fruit would cause it? As you said we’re not geese and it’s hard to make a comparison
He is killing himself for internet “fame”. Just sad to see.
I like Mic but this is very biased
I don’t understand why this Nikado guy is even giving health advice 😳
Do people actually take any notice of his advice.....seriously?
-"Vegans are unhealthy" They said...
... till the day they outlived the non-vegans. (Whoops I thought you said anti vegans. Comment corrected.) :)
@Rebecca Marques OK we have a sock puppet acct here.
@Rebecca Marques , I meant that eating junk food made from meat, dairy and eggs is definitely less healthy than vegan junk food.
I think what saddens me the most is that this guy’s videos receive millions of views. 😣
Nothing that goes into or comes out of Nikocado's mouth has any value.
Well said! LOL
I wish he would turn it around and make a serious attempt to lose weight and get healthy. I don't think he has the maturity or the fortitude to do so however. Maybe after his 1st heart attack or once he acquires T2 diabetes he'll grow up.
For a lot of people it doesn't become real until that rock bottom reality smacks them in the face.
i think he’s already had a heart attack before? don’t really remember the video, sorry :(
@@jayqwuan maybe a panic attack?
Nikocado was eating a very large amount of avocados, hence the name. That's vegan keto. And you know what keto does long-term? It screws with your liver, makes you sweat, shake, hungry all the time. I know a lot of people who focus on a variety of fruit as the base of their diet, online and in person, and they are thriving. I don't know any people who live on just fruit, there are very few people on diets like that, most just have like, a load of fruit for breakfast and lunch, and cooked food for dinner, it's a pretty common way of eating for people in tropics-like/easy-fruit countries, like Brazil, Mexico, i know super healthy people in India who live like that, Philippines, etc . In this video you're missing a lot of information, and jumping to conclusions. One very basic thing you need to pay attention to is that the study you are basing your video on was using synthesised fructose, not whole fruits. Better studies using more than 14 people(as are in the study you're referencing), have shown that consuming 20 fruits per day for months caused no adverse effects, and that was 200mg per day. You're really misinforming your audience here, why?
I'm disappointed here, Mic.
Right, because meat eaters don't get grey hair, right 🤔
I found a sound bite! 20:06
"How much is your body worth?" -Mic the Vegan 2020
I don't subscribe to this theory that fructose malabsorption exists in a fruitarian diet.
To quote a study on the absorption capacity of fructose in healthy adults:
"we have shown that ingestion of fructose as sucrose [a sugar complex containing glucose & fructose] does not result in appreciable malabsorption and that the addition of glucose to fructose solutions promote fructose absorption in a dose dependent manner."1
So there you have it, 🍌 fruits including bananas are not pure fructose. They are complex and contain glucose, fructose, sucrose, as well as complex carbohydrates and fibre. These carbohydrates are 'recognized' by the human-primate body and efficiently absorbed.
Sure a human would have malabsorption if they drank pure High-Fructose-Corn-Syrup, but that's not too big of a surprise.
I think a raw fruit & vegetable diet should be something we all strive for to ensure optimal health.
We ought to make raw foods the base of our food pyramid, and we can even healthfully go months, even years on nothing but raw foods.
I went two years raw and stayed at a perfect BMI, eating as many calories as I liked.
I'm not sure why Nikacado had so much trouble keeping his BMI in a good range. I'm not even sure he calculated his BMI on a raw food diet. You can be exceptionally skinny and have a healthy BMI. He looks fine.
I was maybe 145 lbs at my leanest. At 5'11" tall, that's a BMI of 20.2.
A healthy BMI is >18.5 and
I fasted for two weeks once and the entire two weeks I would spend hours watching the food network and hours watching man vs food because I felt like I was eating vicariously through these shows. So I think it is entirely possible that people could love his channel because it feels like eating vicariously through him.
Wow same with me... Water fasted for 1 week but watched mukhbag videos to keep me satiated. I happy to know im not the only one that did that.
Please don’t feed the insanity of Niko. He’s a very troubled person who thrives on the attention.
Mic: 380k subs/audience staunchly against eating animal products
Nikocado: 3M subs/content almost entirely about eating animal products
I don't think he's pushing much towards there
SPEAK TO FREELEE PLEASE MIC!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! *FACEPALM*
Who would watch Nikocado's slow motion suicide by food.
How can millions of people be liking this shit... I mean Nikocado's channel. I'll never understand.
My take. He broke up with his partner and is severely depressed.
Exactly it
Please don’t put misleading information on the internet just because u don’t agree with the high fruit diet, come out with the facts with actual statistics (not theory’s).
"come out with the facts with actual statistics" do you have facts with actual statistics proving that high fruit diet is healthy?
@FruityHachi I mean it's pretty self explainitory that it is healthy, fruit is the healthiest food on earth...
@@amirrhodesve791 lmao
Mic, we need to call meat by its accurate name, which is CORPSE. From now on we need to call meat, corpse. The last time I ate corpse was about 7 years ago.
@@LisaCulton A corpse can be any dead body. I guess you are not vegan. Corpse it is, fair is fair.
@@LisaCulton Very good, enjoy your just karma then. Paying to murder animals with every bite is very selfish. Do you know there is fecal matter with every bite? Oh well.
@@LisaCulton salad bars have poo on them. Check mate, vegans. 😂
@@LisaCulton So the only plants in the world are ones for salads. WOw you need to get out more. About salads that is not so and if that is true it is because they use animal waste to fertilize certain crops. Paying to murder an animal for a fleeting taste sensation is selfish. You are not a good person and is this your main sock puppet account?
@@samcarter5516 she is lying. Anti vegans lie like the animal death camps lie about how animals are "processed". Soon corpse eating will be outlawed. I cannot wait.
I found this one of the most disturbing ex-vegan videos I've seen on this channel, never having heard of the guy or that genre of UA-cam before. Vegetable Police suddenly looks quite reasonable and rational.
he clearly doesnt know anything about BALANCE
*Create a Better World by...............Living Vegan*
Hey Louis. You sure are consistent regarding posting that same post.
Have you thought about changing the post?
I hope you don’t respond with a copy of the same post.
@@xenoblad lol
I see you have changed your catchphrase
@@bbqseitan7106 I have a few that I rotate every once in a while! 😉
@@xenoblad I find it most strange that the handful of radically concerned people who are fixated at being critical of me using a catchphrase / meme repeatedly, never once criticize even one of the possibly tens of thousands of people they may come across on any number of social media platforms who use a catchprase like "first" for ostensibly the same reason I use my catchphrases.
What do you think that bizarre fixation on me by those handful of radically concerned people is really all about??????????????

He's making money eating junk food. Lots of people would jump at that job. Not me, but lots of people would.
Wow I remember him from his vegan days. His current situation is really sad 😔
Since I never had any signs of fructose malabsorption (ie, bloating, gas, loose stools), I'm leaning (no pun intended) toward Freelee's thermogenesis theory, as to where all the calories went.
Yesss I’ve been waiting for this video on this train wreck!
Whenever I crave junk food, I pull up a Nickacado Avacado video to remind myself why I shouldn’t eat junk. He’s really helped me a lot.
Nikocado is the first human foie gras goose, and will end the same way, but by his own hand. Bizarre and sad. Let us leave him to his fate.
Doesn’t fruit have about equal amounts fructose to regular carbs? Maybe the fructose isn’t absorbed at some point, but why wouldn’t the carbs?
I am so glad I never gravitated toward a fruitarion diet personally in don’t know people live on cold fruit. I NEED WARM FOOD!!! I NEED BEANS AND RICE 🍚 TO LIVE 🤣💯
Same, I can't imagine life with no hot food - especially up here in Canada where it often snows 6 months of the year
We do eat beans rice dude. Its not like we eat only fruit. The guy sells you bs
@@nastigyal152 so is it about 50% fruit or?
Great that you gave a shout out to some of the CANADIAN vegan UA-camrs: Derek at Simnett and Cheap Lazy Vegan... LOVE THEM!!
Another similar channel is Furious Pete who suffered testicular cancer. His food intake may have been partly responsible for the cancer and its reoccurrence but whenever he talks about it, food is always under the radar for him. I don’t get these types of UA-cam channels.
Honestly he’s probably acting but he really needs to stop joking about health and Veganism because some people actually believe him and take him seriously.
nikocado is just a really really sad man. that's all I see when I see him. someone empty, lost and sad
I've literally never had the food shakes or any of the weird side effects people mention about veganism.
What is that?
would love to see an entire video on non-alcoholic fatty liver disease
This guy wont give you truth. This whole video is bs
Simnett Nutrition has changed our lives! Definitely a good example of balanced, healthy eating. Maybe Nicacado should take a look at Simnett...
I was really hoping you would make a video on him.
Not sure if anyone watches Drama Alert but Nik was interviewed and said veganism rots your brain. I was just thinking about how he was back then vs now and was like ...... Yeah ok.
Been a “whole foods ovo vegetarian” for a lil while and thought I couldn’t give up eggs because I’d binge on foods way worse if I didn’t eat them Every time, but decided to cut the eggs out and go 100% plant based after watching you, simnett, and barnard! Tofu is a life saver lol. Only one week in but hoping for a life time.
Don't forget b 12 and d3 supplement
He used to be so cute! Now, he is repulsive. 😥...the food he eats and how he eats it is disgusting.
That is so harsh!!!
@@klimtkahlo it is, but its true. I think that he is going for gross though. It's like eats discustingly on purpose. That's his act.
"food"...
@@Springfairy92 true 👍
0:53 The rest of the video will be just a blank screen... that killed me😂😂😂
Off topic but he looked quite beautiful in the before shots. I look forward to the day when finds balance for himself and can look back on his current days in this same way.
Hey Mic, the set up with lighting and your blue background looks great. The blue and grey is a great visual.
You are talking nonsense.
Haven't watched your vids in years and you're looking so good now. Love the new hairstyle + physique. And you're still eloquent af
