Country singer Jelly Roll is now nearly 200 pounds lighter. The 40-year-old star has been on a weight loss journey for a while now, and has now shared a major milestone. While appearing on Pat McAfee’s Big Night Aht live show on Wednesday, April 9, Jelly Roll said, “I started at 540 lbs. I’m 357 lbs. [as of] this morning, baby!”
Jelly Roll is determined to get to his ideal body weight, and one of his immediate goals is to lose another 100 lbs, to go on an adventure ride. “Imma lose another 100 lbs. to go skydiving with my wife in Sweden, baby!” His wife, fellow musician Bunnie Xo is his biggest cheerleader.
Earlier, in Oct, 2024, Jelly Rolls revealed that he was 110 lbs down. His journey was no cakewalk. He spoke about the stigma often associated with the weight loss journey. “I think that people that become as big as I became when they lose the weight, they're kind of ashamed. They're so ashamed that they go hide and lose the weight. And then they come back out and they don't really know how to interact with the world, looking different or feeling different, and they kind of got to find their whole new way. I wanted to lose it in front of everybody. I want to talk about it. It's on my daily roll vlogs,” he said in a podcast.
Jelly Roll also plans to be on the cover of Men’s Health by Mar. 2026. Well, he is really determined to undergo a massive makeover.
So, how has he achieved the remarkable weight loss? No, he didn’t skip his favourite meal, but adopted some incredible strategies to get to his fitness goals. Here are 4 weight loss tips that Jelly Roll followed.
High protein diet
Jelly Roll’s nutrition coach has revealed that the country singer was on a high-protein diet. One major mistake, people on a weight loss journey tend to make is ignoring the importance of protein in their diet. Jelly Roll didn’t do it. His diet was high on protein, which means, he does not lose muscle in the weight-loss process. Instead, his muscles stayed on track.
Didn’t cut back on his favourite meals
Jelly Roll is obsessed with Nashville hot chicken. He absolutely enjoys eating the American staple. Being on a weight loss journey doesn’t really mean stopping eating everything you love. You could do that for a day, or a week, or perhaps a month. But, it's never a sustainable plan. As the musician enjoyed his Nashville hot chicken, his nutritionist gave the dish a healthy twist, He skipped the oil and batter, and instead used potato and rice flour. The dish was made in an air fryer. Also, the French fries on the side were brushed with bone broth - protein points for that!
Being active
Jelly Roll is really a man with a plan. He didn't exhaust his body with ridiculous intensive weight loss exercises. Instead, he picked what's achievable, and also is good in the long run. Jelly Roll decided to stay active. This included walking and running. “I’ve been really kicking a**, man. I’m doing two to three miles a day, four to six days a week," he earlier revealed.
Clean diet
"I’m eating healthy right now,” the musician earlier said. The 'Need a Favor' singer did his body a favor, by giving it what it requires, rather than giving up to his cravings. Jelly Roll eats two meals a day and one snack. It's as simple as that. His meals are protein-rich and healthy. He starts his day with a healthy breakfast bowl. This bowl has hash browns, Wagyu beef tallow chicken sausage, bell peppers, bone broth, and air-fried potatoes. For snack, he eats his favourite peanut butter dough cookie with sliced bananas. The second and last meal is dairy-free poutine. It has cashew cheese curds, chicken thighs in bone broth, homemade French fries, and a gravy made of caramelized peppers in the broth, with chicken sausage and rice flour.
