Country star Jelly Roll<\/strong><\/a> is surrounded by temptation and calories when on the road but he\u2019s working overtime to stay on track and not fall on bad habits as he continues his weight loss journey.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n \u201cHe\u2019s lost more than 100 pounds and that\u2019s a huge accomplishment,\u201d a source exclusively tells Life & Style<\/em>. \u201cHe wants to lose more weight, so it\u2019s important to him not to be tempted by waffles and fried chicken every time they pass a Waffle House. He\u2019s not going to throw it down the pan for the sake of a quick fast-food fix.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n The insider notes that Jelly, 39, still allows himself cheat meals, saying, \u201cOccasionally, he will splurge but by and large he does good, and people are proud of him.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n \u201cHe tries so hard. His chef [Chef Larios<\/strong>] is helping and whipping up healthy versions of his favorite meals, and reminding him, is that second helping worth it?\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n The \u201cSon of a Sinner\u201d artist \u2013 real name Jason DeFord \u2013 recently opened up about his lifelong battle with food addiction, telling <\/span>People<\/span><\/i><\/a> that he\u2019s working on \u201cchanging the way I\u2019ve looked at food for the last 39 years.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n \u201cI\u2019ve never had a healthy relationship with food, so that was the hard part. But once you get into that discipline and commitment, it\u2019s like an avalanche. Once that little snowball started rolling, it was on its way,\u201d he said in an interview published on November 20. \u201cNobody in my house ever had [a healthy relationship with food], so that was the hard part, really fighting that demon at first and getting into that discipline and that commitment.\u201d\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n The Tennessee native has lost more than 100 pounds in 2024, having hit his highest weight of 557 pounds in 2015. But he doesn\u2019t plan on slowing down. In addition to completely overhauling his diet, Jelly also revamped his lifestyle.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n \u201cIt\u2019s cool because there was once a time in life that the culture I built on tour was the opposite. It revolved around alcohol and drugs,\u201d he told <\/span>People<\/span><\/i>. \u201cAnd now our tour culture is around good eating and around exercising and doing emotional check-ins with our crew every day.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n \u201cWe\u2019ve been playing basketball three days a week now,\u201d Jelly told Joe Rogan<\/strong> during an October 11 appearance on \u201cThe Joe Rogan Experience\u201d podcast. He added that he was also \u201cworking out everyday walking around the arenas,\u201d and \u201cgoing to the gym now.\u201d Jelly hit another fitness goal when he trained for and completed his first 5K race in May alongside comedian pals Bert Kreischer and Tom Segura.<\/span><\/p>\n \u201cI\u2019ve never been more dialed in. I\u2019ve never cared more about it. I\u2019ve never been happier,\u201d he said of taking care of his health.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Just days away from turning 40 and more than halfway through his Beautifully Broken tour, \u201cJelly Roll is exercising to prepare for those rigorous performances, working out on the treadmill and doing other low impact moves,\u201d the source adds.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n \u201cHe said people weren\u2019t going to recognize him<\/a> in 2025 and he means business.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
