Country Singer Jelly Roll Shed 100 Pounds: Wait Till You See How He Looks Now

Jelly Roll, a 39-year-old singer and rapper known for songs like “Somebody Save Me,” is gaining attention not only for his music but also for his major health transformation. His commitment to a healthier lifestyle has impressed fans, proving that self-care is possible even with a busy tour schedule.

Fans recently saw a much fitter Jelly Roll. Guided by his personal chef, Ian Larios, Jelly Roll has been steadily working on his health and fitness. In an October 21 Instagram post, Larios shared that the musician has stayed active during his “Beautifully Broken” tour, playing basketball, boxing, and climbing stairs at every tour stop. This intense workout routine, along with a strict diet, has helped Jelly Roll lose over 100 pounds.

In an Instagram video, Chef Larios praised Jelly Roll’s effort and shared details about his diet. Before each show, Jelly Roll eats a light snack of banana slices with honey and dark chocolate. This snack gives him an energy boost without making him feel too full. After each performance, he enjoys high-protein meals like chicken breast with potato or rice flour, providing the nutrients he needs for his demanding routine.

Jelly Roll’s commitment has inspired fans and friends alike. In the video, he spoke about his drive to keep improving, saying, “Next year when y’all see me, you won’t recognize me.” He’s excited to reach new fitness goals, adding, “I’m going to get under a pile of weights in a way that I never had.”

His fanbase has been incredibly supportive. Comments have flooded in with encouragement, like “So happy he’s beginning to take care of his body!! Love him and want him to live forever!!” and “You’re absolutely killing it. I noticed a few weeks ago how much you have thinned down.” Fans are excited to see how far he can go, filled with admiration and hope.

Chef Ian Larios has been a steady supporter of Jelly Roll’s progress. In a September 16 Instagram post, he shared that Jelly Roll has been “absolutely crushing” his goals during this 56-city tour, adding, “The habits he’s been building are truly life-changing.” This focus on sustainable habits shows that Jelly Roll is committed to long-term health, not just quick fixes.

Jelly Roll’s health journey started earlier in the year, with one key moment being his first 5K run in May at the “Netflix Is a Joke” comedy festival in Pasadena, California. The 5K was part of an event hosted by comedians Tom Segura and Bert Kreischer. For Jelly Roll, finishing the race was a huge personal achievement. “I couldn’t walk a mile when I started trying to do this back in January,” he remembered. At the finish line, he and Kreischer shared an emotional moment, proud of their hard work. This success has pushed Jelly Roll to aim for a half marathon next year, saying, “Next year, a half marathon! We’re saying it now, absolutely!”

Before the 5K, Jelly Roll trained hard, often walking or running two to three miles daily, four to six times a week. His routine also included daily sauna and cold plunge sessions, which helped him lose over 70 pounds by that point. “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 shared in a post, thrilled with his new fitness level.

Throughout his journey, Jelly Roll faced public scrutiny. Fans had shown concern about his health after his wife, Bunnie XO, shared that Jelly Roll took a break from social media due to criticism about his weight. Despite this, he stayed focused on his goals, saying, “I feel incredible. I’m surrounded by friends and family.” His support network has been essential, showing the strength of close friends, family, and fans during tough times.

While focusing on his health, Jelly Roll’s music career has also flourished. This year, he received awards at the iHeartRadio Music Awards, Country Music Television (CMT) Music Awards, and his first Academy of Country Music (ACM) nominations. Balancing his music career with his health journey hasn’t been easy, but Jelly Roll has shown it’s possible and inspiring.

Through every part of his journey, Jelly Roll has shown resilience, dedication, and a willingness to change, which has deeply resonated with fans.
