Nate Smith Shares 70-Pound Weight Loss

That is a very unglamorous reason to overhaul a lifestyle, which is probably why it rings true. Touring is not exactly built around rest, hydration, and sensible meal planning. Smith’s point is that stamina matters when people have paid to see him perform.

What changed after losing more than 70 pounds

Smith, who has shared stages with country artists including Jelly Roll, said he also wanted to “get under 200 lbs.” because of how it affects his confidence offstage.

“I just feel better. It’s nice to be able to wear clothes that I like. This is a large,” he said during an interview at the Tight Ends & Friends Concert on June 23, pointing to his all-black outfit. “I’ve been double X for the last five or six years, so I’m feeling really good.”

The change has also been physical in ways that are less red carpet and more daily life.

“I don’t sweat anymore, which is amazing. I used to be totally out of breath tying my shoes,” Smith said. “I can jump around a lot more.”

How he adjusted his diet without pretending fries vanished

Smith has previously linked his weight gain to overconsumption of food and alcohol. More recently, he has moved toward a lower-calorie, higher-protein diet, a change that helped him lose the weight and improve how he feels while performing.

Still, he has not presented the process as a joyless march through grilled chicken and discipline. On June 21, Smith shared an Instagram video showing himself pausing in a crowd of fans for an impromptu snack.

“Find me in a bar,” he wrote, referencing his upcoming single, “or literally eating second hand French fries off someone’s plate.”

a health plan with room for borrowed fries may not be medically official, but it is at least honest about being human.
