Singer Post Malone, who underwent a remarkable weight loss transformation, recently opened up about his fitness journey. During his appearance on the Joe Rogan Experience podcast earlier this week, said that he used to weigh 240 pounds before he eliminated one popular item from his diet. Wondering what is it? It’s soda.

“Soda is so bad. It’s good but so bad,” Malone said. However, the singer, whose birth name is Austin Richar Post, added that he occasionally rewards himself with some ice-cold soda if he puts on a great performance.

“[If] I had a great show, and you know what, I’m feeling a little bit naughty, I’m going to have myself a Coke on ice,” he said.

Malone went on to reveal the massive weight loss transformation eliminating soda from his diet brought out. He said that he used to weigh 240 pounds (nearly 109 kg), but his weight dropped to 185 pounds (nearly 84 kg) after giving up the sugary drink.

Explaining how soda leads to weight gain, Karishma Shah, an Integrative Nutritionist and Health Coach, told indianexpress.com, “All aerated drinks have a lot of sugar, along with other things, so it increases your insulin levels leading to weight gain over time.”

She said that if you are someone who drinks a lot of sugary aerated drinks and energy drinks throughout the day, then removing it from your daily diet will help you achieve weight loss.

This is not the first time that Malone has opened up about his weight loss. Earlier this year, he had taken to social media to dispel the rumours that he was using narcotics.

“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,” he said.

The singer said that “dad life” helped him commit to “kicking soda” and “eating better” so that he “can be around for a long time” for his baby girl. “Next up is smokes and brews, but I like to consider myself a patient man,” Malone said.
