Post Malone Shares Insights on His Balanced, Soda-Free Diet and How 'Zero-Calorie' Hot Sauce Aided His Healthy Weight Loss Journey
On The Howard Stern Show, the "Circles" rapper (real name Austin Richard Post) shared: "So I remember on tour, I stopped eating a lot of fried stuff, a lot of pizza, all that stuff, because usually 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 continued: "When you're on the bus, it's hard to find healthy options. Most of the time, it's just greasy food." The "Fortnight" singer added: "I recall when I first hit the road, I decided to commit to a healthier lifestyle. I told myself, I'm going to have grilled chicken, carrots, and a small serving of white rice each evening." He then revealed the game-changing element that has helped him stick to his new dietary plan.

"One father shared, 'I couldn't believe it when I learned that hot sauce has zero calories! I was completely taken aback, thinking, wait, is this for real? Hot sauce is calorie-free, this is incredible! I understand now!' He continued, 'I ended up shedding 20 pounds by using it, and I thought, why not keep pushing forward? We just kept the momentum going and kept making progress!'"
The "Better Now" hitmaker has been open about his health journey and transformation in recent years. In April of 2023, Post told fans that his newfound motivation to prioritize his well-being stemmed from the birth of his daughter in May 2022. This, he said, prompted him to alter his dietary habits.
