Post Malone has fielded questions about his weight loss from concerned fans before. In April 2023, Malone got candid on Instagram as he spoke directly to his fanbase about his thinner appearance. “Hello everybody, I hope you’re having a great night,” wrote Malone. “I wanted to say that I’m not doing drugs … I’ve had a lot of people ask me about my weight loss and I’d suppose, performance on stage. I’m having a lot of fun performing, and have never felt healthier.”
Malone credited parenthood with motivating him to adopt a healthier lifestyle. “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. Next up is smokes and brews, but I like to consider myself a patient man,” he continued.
Malone also got specific about his diet during an interview with Howard Stern in October of 2023. “On tour, I stopped eating a lot of fried stuff [and] pizza,” Malone revealed during the interview (via Just Jared). “I was like, ‘You know what? I’m going to eat grilled chicken, I’m going to eat carrots, and I’m going to have a little bit of white rice with … hot sauce.” Malone continued, “I was like … ‘Hot sauce has no calories in it? This s*** is sick.'” Malone’s diet swaps initially helped him to lose 20 pounds, which motivated him to keep going. “And we just kept f****** rocking and rolling,” added the star.
