Thanks to hit singles like “Better Now” and “Sunflower,” everyone is familiar with Post Malone’s music by now. The singer, whose real name is Austin Post, is otherwise a bit of a mystery. He decided not to share the name of his fiance and no one knows anything about her. He also keeps the focus solely on his work.

One exception is his weight loss journey. In August 2023, when he was interviewed on The Joe Rogan Experience, Post Malone talked about losing 60 pounds. He was also interviewed on The Howard Stern Show and explained what helped him achieve his goal. It’s fascinating to hear about what he discovered.

Post Malone Talked About His Weight Loss On The Howard Stern Show

In October 2023, Post Malone appeared on The Howard Stern Show and opened up about his weight loss. Howard Stern is always able to get celebrities to share details of their personal lives and they often share things that they might not want to talk about somewhere else.

Stern said, “You’ve lost a sh*tload of weight, not on Ozempic. You did it the old-fashioned way, right?” He added “What’d you do because you look good.”

Post Malone thanked him and said:

“The first step was i remember was I went on tour and I was like you know what I’m gonna eat grilled chicken. I’m gonna eat carrots. And I’m gonna have a little bit of white rice every night with buffalo sauce… or not buffalo sauce… Hot sauce has no calories in it. I was blown away.”

Stern and Post Malone joked about how hot sauce is great and is calorie-free. Post Malone added:

“I stopped eating a lot of fried stuff, a lot of pizza, all that stuff.”

He explained that when he is done performing each night, he’s in a new city that he isn’t familiar with, and it’s easy to eat fast food. He said that he dropped twenty pounds at first and since he was successful, he decided to continue on the same path.

It’s interesting to note that others have talked about eating hot sauce and losing weight. According to Eat This Not That, people can drop pounds when they eat hot sauce, which has capsaicin. The website mentioned a Perdue University study that was written about in the journal Physiology & Behavior. When twelve people ate hot sauce, they were less hungry. They didn’t include food with spices in their usual diet, which seems to be why it worked so well. They also didn’t want to eat food that is sugary or full of salt and fat quite as much. Based on this information, it makes sense that Post Malone would find that eating hot sauce helped him lose 60 pounds.

In fact, as Canadian Living reported, someone else lost 70 pounds eating hot sauce and wrote a book explaining their journey. Dr. Spiro Antoniades wrote “The Hot Sauce Diet: A Journey of Behavior Modification.” In his case, Antoniades drank tomato juice with a teaspoon of hot sauce and then consumed whatever dinner he would have had. This ensured that he didn’t eat as much as normal.
