Post Malone lost weight through an "old-fashioned way" and not Ozempic
In April 2023, Post Malone took to his Instagram and wrote a long post on his weight loss. He clarified that he had not taken "drugs" and was feeling "healthier" than ever. He explained:
"I guess dad life kicked in and Idecided to kick soda, and start eating better so I can be around for a long time for this little angel."
He joked about being a "patient man" and noted that he plans on leaving smoking and alcohol soon.
In his appearance on The Zane Lowe show on July 26, 2023, Post Malone talked about how becoming a father has changed his outlook on health. He said:
"Having a baby really put a lot into perspective, and it's really slowed me down a lot, party-wise, going out and being crazy."
Later, in a conversation with host Howard Stern on his eponymous show in October 2023, Malone shed light on his weight loss journey. Stern asked if he had used Ozempic, a drug reportedly used to treat Type 2 diabetes and aid weight loss. The Circles singer responded,
“No, sir. I’m not on Ozempic.”
Post Malone shared that he had lost weight the "old-fashioned way" and he first focused on building a healthy diet on tour, that included "grilled chicken" and "carrots" He added:
"I’m going to have a little bit of white rice every night with buffalo sauce or hot sauce. Hot sauce has no calories in it, and I was blown away. Something good that doesn’t have calories!”
The rapper also shared that removing fried foods and foods like "pizza" made a huge difference. He said:
“I lost 20 pounds doing that, and I was like let’s keep going. Let’s keep building.”
He also credited his weight loss to a solid exercise routine, including running and weight lifting. He explained that making healthy food choices on the road is challenging:
"At the end of the day after a show, you’re done, you finish up around two o’clock, you don’t really know what city you’re in, you don’t really know where you are."
Post Malone further stated:
“You’re just in the bus, so it’s like, what’s really open? And it’s always like, you know, greasy stuff.”
While touring had made it challenging for Post Malone to stick to healthy meals, he lost over 60 pounds with a clean diet and exercise. Malone emphasized that a major motivation for his weight transformation was becoming a father.
