The Jelly Roll chef talks about the singer’s 100-pound weight loss

Jelly Roll and his chef talk about how the singer lost 100 pounds while on tour.

The Grammy winner, who is currently on his Beautifully Broken Tour, has lost weight over the past year, his nutrition coach and chef Ian Larios revealed in an Instagram video posted on the Jelly Roll account on Monday.

The video begins with a shot of Jelly Roll proclaiming, “When I see you in March… you won’t recognize me. That’s why next year, when you see me, you won’t recognize me, I’m going to be under a lot of burdens like never before.”

Earlier this year, Jelly Roll first opened up about setting a big goal to lose weight.

“I plan to lose another 100, 100 or so (pounds). If I’m feeling this good at this weight, man, I can only imagine how I’m going to feel by the time I go on tour,” he said. said in an April interview with People, after initially losing 70 pounds.

In an Instagram post this week, Larios shared an update for Jelly Roll fans.

“We just passed the midway point of the tour and Jellie was hitting it,” Larios says in the video, adding that “he just surpassed his 100-pound weight loss… That 100-pound weight loss goal since his last tour is huge.”

Larios explains that Jelly Roll stayed active in between shows and travels, including going for walks, playing basketball and boxing. Larios says that along with her fitness activities, Jelly Roll also focuses on her nutrition.

“One of his favorite pre-show snacks is bananas. Today, we make them a bit fancier (with) manuka honey (and some) dark chocolate that we rub on top,” he says in a shot of himself whipping up the snack.

Larios then demonstrates how he prepares a protein-rich version of Nashville-style hot chicken and fries for a pre-concert Jelly Roll.

“We air fry it. It tricks your brain into thinking it’s like nice, greasy, deep-fried, hot chicken in Nashville. It will feel like eating at home,” Larios said. “He is healthy. It’s air-fried, full of protein to help him stay on track.”

For Jelly Roll, the subject of his weight has followed him throughout his country music career.

In the ABC News Studios documentary “Jelly Roll: Save Me,” the singer said he used to be told he was “too fat” to make it in music and that it was an obstacle he had to overcome.

“They say we were too fat to be in the music business, my voice wasn’t cool enough — these were all mountains we had to conquer,” Jelly Roll said in the documentary.
