Post Malone's Astonishing 60-Pound Weight Loss
Post Malone emanated confidence in his Instagram post as he posed in a rock star outfit. His attire was a tailored black leather jacket, black coated slender jeans, and black cowboy boots.
The only pattern on his outfit was a leopard-print belt with a silver buckle. A black cap completed the ensemble, and the singer posed for a mirror selfie in a taupe hotel bathroom. The photo caption introduced his fans to "Viceroy Chungus VonBattlepass" and concluded with the declaration, "I love you."
Post Malone disclosed the reason for his dramatic weight loss during an appearance on the "Joe Rogan Experience" podcast three weeks before this transformation. During his conversation with radio personality Joe Rogan, the singer revealed that eliminating cola from his diet was the key factor in his remarkable transformation.
Post Malone, whose birth name is Austin Richard Post, stated, "Soda is so awful. It is both so wonderful and so bad." He acknowledged that while he had reduced his soda consumption, he still permitted himself an occasional treat, saying, "If I had a great show, and you know what? "I'm going to have a Coke on ice."
Post Malone revealed his weight during the podcast interview before and after his weight loss journey. He stated that he weighed approximately 240 pounds before deciding to alter his diet, including giving up cola.
Following these modifications, he was able to lose approximately 185 pounds. Joe Rogan, podcast presenter and UFC analyst, backed Post Malone's decision to eliminate soda from his diet. The significance of moderation in maintaining a healthy lifestyle was also emphasized by Rogan.
He explained that excessive consumption of sweetened beverages such as soda can harm health and advocated a "everything in moderation" attitude. Rogan, well-known for his popular podcast "The Joe Rogan Experience," has conducted interviews with various industry visitors, as per Outlook.
From Concert Surprise to Health and Fatherhood
Over the years, the podcast has acquired immense popularity, garnering millions of views per episode. The podcast has been exclusively licensed on Spotify since September 2020. Post Malone's comments on the podcast follow his February concert in Australia, where he surprised his admirers with a dramatic weight loss.
The singer addressed the allegations in an Instagram post on April 27 in response to circulated health rumors. In the post, which was accompanied by a selfie, he assured his fans that he was not using drugs and that he was relishing his performances and feeling healthier than ever.
Post Malone attributed his motivation to improve his lifestyle to "dad life" and expressed his desire to be there for his daughter, due in May 2022, for many years in his lengthy Instagram caption.
However, the path to improved health has not been without obstacles. During the podcast with Joe Rogan, Post Malone discussed the negative responses to his new appearance on social media, including allegations of drug use.
Emotionally, he acknowledged that while some individuals cared sincerely, others were quick to make unjustified assumptions and judgments, according to the Daily Mail.
