Social media influencer Akinyemi Oluwaseun Omotayo, widely recognized as Asherkine, has opened up about his decision to step away from binge-eating content creation.
The digital creator gained fame for his viral videos showcasing massive food consumption in single sittings.
In a candid post on X, he shared that his content creation led to losing touch with healthy eating habits.
The influencer revealed facing serious health issues and an ongoing struggle with overeating behaviors.
His post detailed: ‘Many asked why I quit my signature food content format – the truth is, my body rebelled against the constant 5+ meal challenges I made look effortless.’
“Despite maintaining fitness routines, I gradually lost all sense of portion control. Mindless consumption became my default, even off-camera. I wouldn’t stop until experiencing painful abdominal pressure.
“The compulsion to eat past satiety became overwhelming. Gluttony took root, bringing heart palpitations, dangerous weight fluctuations, sleep disturbances, hypertension scares, and chronic exhaustion. The psychological grip proved most challenging.
“Few understand gluttony’s insidious nature. Even now, two years later, I still negotiate with that gnawing emptiness.
“To anyone battling compulsive overeating: don’t minimize it. While I’m not a medical expert, I urge awareness. My food content will continue – just with mindfulness replacing excess.”
