Unsurprisingly, the secret, as it always is, to the weight loss Post Malone achieved, is a change in diet. People hate to hear it, but it's just how it is. If you wanna slim down, the first thing that needs to change is the diet. Even folks using Ozempic essentially change their eating habits by reducing their appetite.
But, Post Malone used self-discipline to achieve his weight loss. He told The Howard Stern Show that it was a change in eating habits while on tour that started it all off. A switch from his old meals to grilled chicken, carrots, and white rice was the cornerstone of how Malone began his weight loss journey.
But, if you have ever tried sticking to the chicken, veg, and rice diet, you know how boring it gets quickly. But, Post Malone has a secret extra ingredient that is both delicious and completely free of calories - hot sauce. As a lifetime fan of the fiery condiment, this knowledge is nothing new to me, but it blew Post Malone away.
"Hot sauce has no calories in it. This sh*t is sick! I get it," he told the host. And that was it. From then on he was able to replace his usual fattier foods with a lean meal and not want to kill himself from culinary boredom.
Cutting Out The Grease Helped Post Malone Shed Weight
Keeping a strict diet on the road can be difficult, especially somewhere like the US where there are more fast food joints than free hospital beds. But, Post Malone was dedicated to his weight loss journey. As he says in the interview, it took some focus and a lifestyle change.
He points out that when he's touring, the gig ends, and he finds himself in an unfamiliar city. There isn't much available other than greasy late-night outlets. That was his usual go-to, but instead, he switched to a prepped meal of good old chicken and rice with that secret hot sauce ingredient. Like this, he was able to shed 20 pounds straight off the bat.
Hot sauce baby, it's a lifesaver.
