Jelly Roll Reveals That He’s Lost 110 Pounds This Year, As He Overcomes Lifelong Struggle With “Food Addiction”

In a new interview with People for this week’s cover story (published November 20), Jelly Roll revealed that he’s lost a total of 110 pounds so far this year. The country star disclosed that he’s lost between 60 to 70 pounds while on the road during his Beautifully Broken Tour. That added weight loss is due to a workout regiment that he keeps up with before his shows, as well as the personal cook that travels with him on the road. “The battle was with the food addiction, changing the way I’ve looked at food for the last 39 years,” he explained. “I’ve never had a healthy relationship with food, so that was the hard part. But once you get into that discipline and commitment, it’s like an avalanche. Once that little snowball started rolling, it was on its way.” Jelly shared that his weight loss journey isn’t over yet, “I hope I continue to lose this weight,” he said. (Billboard)
