Jelly Roll Loses 100 Lbs., Achieves Major Milestone with No Plans to Slow Down: ‘Next Year You Won’t Recognize Me’

The country star Jelly Roll and his nutrition coach, Ian Larios, discussed how they’ve transformed his diet and kept him active during his tour. Jelly Roll has reached a remarkable milestone in his weight-loss journey, announcing that he has lost 100 pounds.

On October 22, the 39-year-old singer shared a video on his Instagram account. “Next year when y’all see me, you won’t recognize me,” he stated confidently.

“I’m going to get under a pile of weights like never before,” he added. Ian Larios, his nutrition coach, showcased the routines that the singer (real name: Jason Bradley DeFord) has embraced to remain on track while touring for his Beautifully Broken tour.

“We just passed the halfway point of the tour, and Jelly has been crushing it,” Larios mentioned.

He explained, “We’re either walking around the arena, playing basketball, or boxing.” He added, “He just surpassed his 100-pound weight loss goal.”

Larios shared that the “Need a Favor” singer has adopted a high-protein diet. He also revealed some healthy recipes that Jelly enjoys. For example, he presented a “fancier” version of Jelly’s go-to pre-show snack — a banana served with Manuka honey, Stevia, and dark chocolate shavings, which he claims “fuels him before a show.”

The nutrition coach also described what Jelly eats after performing. He shared a healthier take on Nashville hot chicken, eliminating the oil and batter typically used.

“We’re still having a high-protein meal,” he explained. He prepares a coating made with potato flour and a small amount of rice flour.

Larios stated that he boils French fries in bone broth, which “increases the protein content.” He explained that this method gives them a nice crunch since they are air-fried. “This trick makes your brain think you’re eating that delicious greasy Nashville deep-fried hot chicken. He’ll feel like he’s enjoying a meal from home,” he said.

“It’s healthy, air-fried, and packed with protein. It helps him stay on track,” Larios added. Jelly previously revealed in April that he lost 70 pounds while training for a 5K.

Now, as Larios noted, “Achieving that 100-pound weight loss goal from the last tour is significant.” Jelly has no intentions of slowing down.
