Jelly Roll, the 39-year-old singer behind “Somebody Save Me,” has been making impressive strides in his health journey, surprising fans with his remarkable weight loss. Under the guidance of his personal chef, Ian Larios, Jelly Roll has lost over 100 pounds while on tour, incorporating activities like basketball, boxing, and climbing arena steps into his routine.
Larios praised Jelly Roll’s dedication, saying the artist’s weight loss is a result of hard work and dietary changes. Jelly Roll enjoys snacks like sliced bananas with dark chocolate and honey, and post-show meals include high-protein options like rice or potato-flour-coated chicken breast.
Jelly Roll has also expressed excitement about his progress, saying, “Next year when y’all see me, you won’t recognize me.” Fans have been supportive, flooding social media with encouraging messages and admiration for his transformation.
In addition to his weight loss, Jelly Roll made a significant achievement in May 2024 by completing his first 5K run at the “2 Bears 5K,” part of the Netflix Is a Joke festival. He shared how his fitness journey has inspired others, especially larger participants, and expressed his determination to continue improving. He’s set his sights on a half marathon next year.
Throughout his transformation, Jelly Roll has remained dedicated to his health, working out four to six days a week, incorporating cold plunges and saunas into his routine, and losing around 70 pounds since April. Despite facing challenges like bullying on social media, he’s motivated by the support of friends, family, and fans.
Alongside his health efforts, Jelly Roll continues to thrive as a musician, earning multiple awards and nominations, including his first Academy of Country Music (ACM) Award nomination. Fans eagerly await the next phase of his journey, both in music and health.
