Jelly Roll is making headlines as he shares an inspiring update on his impressive weight loss journey. In a candid Instagram video posted on October 22nd, the country star declared, “That’s why next year when y’all see me, you won’t recognize me. I’m going to get under a pile of weights in a way that I never had.”
The 39-year-old artist recently celebrated surpassing a remarkable 100-pound weight loss milestone, a feat he attributes to his dedication to fitness and a new high-protein diet. As he embarks on this transformation, Jelly Roll is focused on not just losing weight but also improving his overall health. He elaborated on his new pre-show snack routine, featuring a banana topped with Manuka honey and dark chocolate, showcasing how he’s making healthy choices while satisfying his cravings.
Jelly Roll is also reimagining classic comfort foods, like Nashville-style hot chicken, but with a healthier twist. He’s replacing oil and batter with chicken breast and potato flour, ensuring his meals are high in protein while still delivering that satisfying crunch. “It’s healthy, it’s air-fried, and full of protein,” he said, emphasizing that he wants to feel at home while sticking to his weight loss goals.
As he gears up for his upcoming tour, Jelly Roll expresses excitement about what’s to come. “When I see y’all in March for Canada, y’all aren’t going to recognize me,” he teased, highlighting the dramatic changes he anticipates.
However, it’s not all smooth sailing for the star. Recently, he announced on X (formerly Twitter) that he is leaving the platform due to the toxic online discourse he’s encountered. “This is for sure the most toxic negative app to exist ever, period. LOL,” he wrote. Jelly Roll expressed his frustration with the negativity that often permeates social media, stating, “It’s a safe place for everyone to be mean to each other with no consequences.”
This isn’t the first time Jelly Roll has stepped back from social media. His wife, Bunny XO, revealed in a TikTok for her podcast that the negativity surrounding his weight has taken a toll on him. She shared, “My husband got off the internet because he is so tired of being bullied about his weight… the internet can say whatever they want about you, but it hurts.”
Bunny’s heartfelt comments shed light on the human side of celebrities, reminding fans that public figures experience pain and vulnerability just like anyone else. As Jelly Roll continues his journey toward better health, he aims to focus on positivity and self-love, a message that resonates far beyond the confines of social media.
