The speaker, Nicarado Avocado, a YouTuber known for "mukbang" videos, discusses his struggle with weight gain. He started his journey at a weight of 150 to 160 pounds and became a vegan, which initially helped him lose weight. However, as his mukbangs became more popular, he began to consume larger and larger portions, leading to significant weight gain. He attributes this to the psychology of mukbang watching, where viewers vicariously enjoy watching large quantities of unhealthy food being consumed.

He believes that his large size is part of his charm and does not consider it a problem. He even jokes about wanting to reach 300, 400, 500, and 600 pounds. Despite his weight gain, he continues to consume large quantities of food, justifying his diet by stating that his body has a strong stopping point and he doesn't get hungry until later in the day.
His weight gain has also led to complications in his personal life, particularly in his relationship with his boyfriend. Despite this, Nicarado Avocado seems more concerned with maintaining his lifestyle and income from his YouTube channel
