\n\tJelly Roll<\/a> is launching 2026 with wins on multiple fronts. <\/p>\n

\n\tIn a new cover story <\/a>for Men\u2019s Health, the CMA Award winner opened up about his health journey, one that has seen the singer-songwriter shed 275 pounds over the course of five years.<\/p>\n

\n\tAppearing on the cover of the magazine marks a major milestone for Jelly Roll, who in late 2024 made public his goal to be on the cover of Men\u2019s Health in 2026.<\/p>\n

\n\tThe Men\u2019s Health piece, along with a video documentary<\/a> titled \u201cA Year For A Life,\u201d chronicles Jelly Roll\u2019s fitness journey. He assembled a team of trusted guides to help him in focusing on exercise (the story\u2019s accompanying video shows Jelly Roll walking up stairs in the arenas he has played, as well as boxing and doing push-ups), eating nutritious foods and examining testosterone levels, high cholesterol levels and A1C levels.<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cThe first couple of blood panels were like, how are you alive?\u201d Jelly Roll said at one point during the piece.<\/p>\n

\n\tJelly Roll, who has long been open<\/a> about his past struggles with cocaine and alcohol, noted that the journey focused as much on mental health as physical health, as he found a therapist and also began examining his relationship to food.<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cEven before I got into getting my blood work done, I went and got mental health therapy about my overeating,\u201d Jelly Roll told Men\u2019s Health. \u201cI started treating my food addiction like what it was: an addiction. Why did I treat cocaine a certain way? I went to meetings for cocaine and found a sponsor and detoxed off of it and sh-t myself and went through real hard life-changing emotional choices to get off cocaine and codeine. I didn\u2019t look at the food addiction different. Once I started\u00a0treating\u00a0food like an addiction, it started changing everything for me. When I started really looking at the source of why I was eating. What was I eating\u00a0for?\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tJelly Roll also gave some straightforward advice for people who try to address every factor that contributes to weight gain at once. \u201cA lot of dudes get to their bottom dollar, and we\u2019re like, \u2018I\u2019m changing! Tomorrow in the morning when I wake up, I\u2019m a different person!\u2019 We attack it all at once. \u2018I\u2019m gonna run! I\u2019m gonna lift! I\u2019m gonna eat right. I\u2019m gonna do this and this and this.\u2019 Listen, man, because I\u2019ve done this before: Just pick one of those. And you know which one you need to pick? Food. Start there. F\u2013k everything else. Just commit yourself to \u2018I\u2019m gonna count every calorie and macro that goes in my mouth.\u2019\u200a\u201d<\/p>\n
