WHAT!! He's such a ducked up genius. 
The fact he won't say how he lost the weight is telling. He never did that as a social exeriment. I watched some videos with Hungry large Chick he's just done and I see is flabby arms.It's wild how losing weight is being called a redemption arc
Anytime someone says "social experiment" you know it's some toxic crap
I'm sure we'll be seeing the stretchmarks and surgery stuff soon enough, that'll be all part of his content since painting himself into a corner and then course correcting.
I have loads one as thick as my thumb! Yes they faded down but my stomach area looked terrible when they were really red. I have an apron and he must do unless he had surgerybecause that stomach was very large and hanging and he'd place t on the table. I get he says it's an act but I still don't believe for one minute the weight gain was done on purpose and he was in control of it the whole time. I'd love to see how Orlin is doing weight wise and was he also part of the social experiement. In The Hungry large Chick recent videos Nik actually looks ill and so pale.There are tonnes of filters to smoothen the skin, I am sure he might have used some. I have deep stretch marks because of multiple pregnancies and they are never visible in photos, even if I don't use any filter.
