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

Jelly Roll and his chef are opening up about how the singer dropped 100 pounds while on tour.

The Grammy-winning singer, who is currently on his Beautifully Broken tour, lost weight over the past year, his nutrition coach and chef Ian Larios revealed in an Instagram video shared Monday on the account of Jelly Roll.

The video opens with footage of Jelly Roll proclaiming, “When I see you in March… you won’t recognize me. So next year when you see me, you won’t recognize me. I’m going to be under a bunch of weights a way I’ve never had.”

Jelly Roll had originally opened earlier this year to set a big weight loss goal.

“I plan on losing 100, 100 and something more (pounds). If I feel this good at this weight, man, I can only imagine how I’m going to feel when I go on tour,” he said. she said in an April interview with People, after initially losing 70 pounds.

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

“We’re just halfway through the tour and Jelly has been crushing it,” Larios says in the video, adding that she “just passed her 100-pound weight loss… That 100-pound weight loss goal since his last tour is huge.”

Larios says Jelly Roll has stayed active between performances and travels, including walking, playing basketball and boxing. Along with her fitness routine, Larios says Jelly Roll has also focused on her nutrition.

“One of his favorite pre-show snacks is bananas. Today we’re making this one a little fancier (with) manuka honey (and some) dark chocolate that we drizzle on top,” she says of the pictures of him same using the snack

Next, Larios demonstrates how he prepares a high-protein version of Nashville-style hot chicken and fries for Jelly Roll before a gig.

“We air fry it. It tricks your brain into thinking this is like that hot, fried chicken from Nashville. It’s going to feel like you’re eating at home,” Larios said. “It’s healthy. It’s air-fried, full of protein that helps keep you on track.”

For Jelly Roll, the issue of her weight has followed her throughout her country music career.

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

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