Asherkine opens up on health effects of binge-eating content

Nigerian media personality, Akinyemi Oluwaseun Omotayo, popularly known as Asherkine, has opened up on why he stopped making binge-eating content.

The content creator known for his constant philanthropic acts to Nigerians in need, was initially famous for making videos of food challenges.

Asherkine on his X page stated that such content made him gluttonous.

“I never answered to why i paused making this type of food content; i genuinely enjoyed clearing up over 5 different meals regularly until my body told me. Even though i had an active lifestyle at the time and tried to stay fit , i lost the concept of moderation as mindless binge eating became the OOTD even when i wasn’t creating content. i wouldn’t stop eating until i started to feel abdominal discomfort. Despite being full asl , i always wanted to keep eating! gluttony had made its way. asides the general discomfort , heart palpitations, excess weight gain , irregular sleep , sneaky high blood pressure count, constant fatigue and so on… the mental battle to beat gluttony is probably the hardest thing to deal with,” he revealed.

Asherkine also noted the importance of moderation while urging people to pay attention to eating disorders and the health effects.

“I can’t express how disrespectful gluttony is and how much power it holds but it’s mad underrated. It’s 2 years after and i still chat to the pit in my tummy. If you struggle with COMPULSIVE EATING DISORDER , shout out you. pay attention, I’m no health practitioner but don’t underplay it. I’ll still make food content but definitely not in such volume,” he wrote.
