Post Malone, the renowned singer whose real name is Austin Richard Post, has unveiled his astonishing transformation following recent lifestyle changes.
On August 28, the “Circles” hitmaker shared a striking full-body mirror selfie on his Instagram account, showcasing his significantly slimmer physique. In the photograph, he sports an all-black ensemble, accentuated by cowboy boots, a statement belt buckle, and a stylish baseball cap.
Post Malone attributed his remarkable weight loss of 55 pounds to two key factors: cutting out soda from his diet and returning to the stage. During an appearance on “The Joe Rogan Experience” podcast on August 8, the “Sunflower” singer disclosed his journey from 240 pounds down to a svelte 185 pounds, crediting it to his lifestyle adjustments.
“Shows, soda,” he remarked when asked about his weight loss secrets. “Soda is so bad. It’s so bad, but it’s so good. I’ll have a soda. I’m a bad boy, and I’ll have a Monster energy (drink).” He humorously confessed that after a particularly exhilarating performance, he would sometimes indulge in his soda cravings, saying, “I had a great show, and you know what, I’m feeling a little bit naughty. I’m gonna have myself a Coke on ice.”
This latest move to cut back on soda is part of a series of lifestyle changes Post Malone has embraced this year. In April, the singer declared that he has “never felt healthier” after the birth of his baby girl in 2022.
In his Instagram post, he took the opportunity to clarify that his weight loss was not the result of drug use, stating, “I guess dad life kicked in and I decided to kick soda, and start eating better so I can be around for a long time for this little angel.”
Post Malone also shared his intention to further improve his health by giving up “smokes and brews.” He expressed the state of his mental well-being, saying, “My brain is in a super dope place,” and he is “the happiest I’ve been in a long time.”
Notably, in April 2022, UCLA Health experts Drs. Elizabeth Ko and Eve Glazier underscored the health risks associated with soda consumption, including “obesity, poor blood sugar control, and diabetes.” They further highlighted links to high blood pressure, high cholesterol, and heart disease. Even diet sodas were not spared from scrutiny, as they were found to increase hunger and disrupt metabolism.
Post Malone’s health had been a concern prior to his remarkable transformation. In September 2022, he was forced to cancel a performance in Boston due to breathing difficulties, which led to a hospital visit.
The artist is currently in the midst of his “If Y’all Weren’t Here, I’d Be Crying Tour,” which commenced on July 8 and is scheduled to run until December 3. His remarkable weight loss and commitment to a healthier lifestyle have undoubtedly become the talk of the town as fans eagerly follow his journey.
