Country music star Chris Young is making headlines after an impressive weight loss transformation that saw him shed 60-pounds.
The 38-year-old took to social media recently to share the challenges he’s faced during his ongoing fitness journey, admitting that the diet he’s been forced to go on “sucks”.
In a candid Instagram post, Young, who won Season 4 of Nashville Star back in 2006, wrote: “This year has been dedicated to a lot of work on myself. Music wise AND in the gym.”
The singer continued: “Still not done, but down 60 pounds so yeah… Gonna leave this here.”
The text accompanied a picture wherein Young proudly showed off his new body following his 60lb weight loss.
Speaking to Fox News Digital, Young explained of his journey so far: “It was time.
“I knew I was going to be in the studio a lot and I was like, ‘You know what? I want to work on myself as well as the music all at the same time this year.’”
Of course, undertaking such a change is no easy feat, but Young offered some insights into how he got into the right mindset to live a healthier life.
“I love to cook and so I just lean more into that,” Young said, revealing that he’s added more protein to his diet and put in countless hours at the gym.
As for his battle with food, the country star said: “I couldn’t cut certain things out.
“If I was going to say I cut anything out of my diet, it was I didn’t order pizza at midnight.”
As well as publicly posting photos of his new look, Young also released a new single, Young Love and Saturday Nights, featuring music from the legendary David Bowie’s song Rebel, Rebel.
Young stated: “Instead of trying to have a sample, we wanted to create something brand new around some of the stuff that we had the rights to… I think it’s awesome that he’s listed as a songwriter.”
According to reports, Young will be on tour for the rest of this year, while he told Fox that he’s currently hard at work on his next album.
It always inspires me to see people undertaking such journeys. I think we can all agree Chris looks great!
