Jelly Roll has lost 100 lbs: 'You won't recognize me' next year

Jelly Roll is celebrating losing 100 pounds amid a healthy eating and exercise journey.

Earlier this week, the country music crossover star marked his weight loss milestone in an Instagram video.

"That's why next year when y’all see me, you won’t recognize me," he said in the clip. "I'm going to get under a pile of weights in a way that I never have."

In the video, Jelly Roll's personal chef Ian Larios told fans the rapper-turned-country star lost 100 pounds by eating healthy pre-show snacks such as bananas, topped with manuka honey and dark chocolate sweetened with stevia, with the help of exercise including basketball, boxing and walking arenas before shows on his Beautifully Broken Tour.

Larios said Jelly Roll's weight loss plan focuses on high-protein post-show meals, so he preps healthier versions of his favorite meals such as Nashville hot chicken and French fries. The chef made air-fried fries in bone broth to increase protein and decrease fat for Jelly Roll and take "away the oil and batter from" the meal.

The video ended with Jelly Roll, who is halfway through his tour, proclaiming that when he sees fans "in March for Canada, dawg, y'all aren't gonna recognize me."

In April, Jelly Roll told People that he had lost "70-something pounds" while preparing for a 5K race.

"I'm doing two to three miles a day, four to six days a week," he said at the time. "I'm doing 20 to 30 minutes in the sauna, six minutes in a cold plunge every day. I'm eating healthy right now." He added that he was feeling "really good" and planned on losing "another 100, 100-and-something (pounds)."

And by May, after his 70-pound weight loss, the Grammy-nominated country singer completed the 5K race in California hosted by comedians Bert Kreischer and Tom Segura.

In an interview with Entertainment Tonight at the event, Jelly Roll said he got "really emotional" at the finish line.

"I couldn't walk a mile when I started trying to do this back in January," the "Need a Favor" singer said, adding that he feels "really, really good" about finishing the race. "I left here feeling really motivated." He also revealed to ET that he plans to participate in a half marathon in 2025.
