Jelly Roll reveals he has lost 100 pounds: ‘You won’t recognize me’

Jelly Roll revealed he recently surpassed his weight-loss goal of losing 100 pounds.

Earlier this week, the country star, 39, opened up about his physical transformation in an Instagram video while detailing his diet and grueling exercise routine ahead of his  Beautifully Broken Tour. 

To slim down, the two-time Grammy nominee has taken up boxing, basketball and walking arenas. 

‘That’s why next year when y’all see me you won’t recognize me,’ he said. ‘I’m going to get under a pile of weights in a way that I never have.’ 

He continued: ‘When I see y’all in March for Canada, dawg, y’all aren’t gonna recognize me.’

In the same recording, the Son of a Sinner hitmaker’s chef, Ian Larios, noted that his client’s favorite pre-show snack is a banana topped with Manuka honey, stevia and dark chocolate shavings.

After his gig, Jelly enjoys Nashville hot chicken, which the nutritionist has been making healthier by ‘taking away the oil and the batter from it.’

The chicken is then served with French fries coated in bone brother, which ‘ups the protein in it, but it also makes it have that nice crunch to it, because we air fry it.’

‘So it tricks your brain into thinking that this is, like, that nice greasy Nashville deep-fried hot chicken. He’s gonna feel like he’s eating at home,’ he added. ‘It’s healthy. It’s air-fried. It’s full of protein, and it helps him stay on track.’

Larios raved: ‘That 100-pound weight loss goal from last tour is huge.’

In April the singer – whose real name is Jason Bradley DeFord – admitted he had been ‘really kicking a**’ in his mission to lose weight.

‘I’m probably down 70-something pounds. I’ve been really kicking a***, man. I’m doing two to three miles a day, four to six days a week. I’m doing 20 to 30 minutes in the sauna, six minutes in a cold plunge every day. I’m eating healthy right now,’ he told People.

The Save Me star went on to say that while he already feels ‘really good’ about the weight loss, he was still planning to lose ‘another 100, 100-and-something [pounds].’

‘If I feel this good down this weight, man, I can only imagine what I’m going to feel like by the time I go on tour,’ he predicted.

Jelly has been touring the country on the Beautifully Broken Tour with Warren Zeiders and Alexandra Kay, which kicked off in August.

The tour takes him all over the U.S. through until October 27 when he plays the Spectrum Center in Charlotte, North Carolina. 

Over the past year, Jelly has also credited his healthier mentality to his wife Bunnie XO (otherwise known as Alyssa DeFord), who’s been by his side encouraging him the entire time.

The couple first met at one of his 2015 concerts in Las Vegas, and then tied the knot the following year with his two children by side.

Jelly is also proud father of daughter Bailee, 15, and son Noah, seven, both of which are from previous relationships.
