Country star amazes fans with whopping 70-pound weight | Music News

Nate Smith is being candid about his ongoing weight-loss journey. The 40-year-old nation singer says he has misplaced over 70 kilos and hopes to weigh under 200 kilos.

“I think I want to get under 200 pounds,” he told People magazine at the Sports Illustrated and Tight End University’s Tight Ends & Friends Concert at The Pinnacle in Nashville.

Additionally, he says he feels better shedding those kilos because it is “nice to be able to wear clothes that I like.” He factors to the shirt he was sporting at the time, noting, “This is a large. I’ve been double X for the last five or six years, so I’m feeling really good.”

“I don’t sweat anymore, which is amazing. I used to be totally out of breath tying my shoes,” he told People, including that he can now “jump around a lot more.”

The determination to change his lifestyle stemmed from a health scare that prompted him to reevaluate his alcohol and food consumption. The singer developed a essential higher respiratory infection.

“I knew I was hurting myself, but I couldn’t stop,” he said. “It was like looking at this mountain and wondering, ‘How do I get up there?’ I didn’t even know where to start.”

He cut down on his ingesting, elevated his protein consumption, and adjusted his calorie consumption. Within 4 months, the singer dropped 55 lbs.

“I still struggle with some binge eating,” the nation star told People, pointing to a soiled macaroni and cheese pot he had in his sink. “And if I want to have it, I’m going to have it.”

He added, “But I want to find a way to make it a treat versus a lifestyle thing. If I decide I’m going to have mac and cheese, it’s okay.”

“I’m not even close to my goal,” he mirrored. “But I’m way happier where I’m at, and I feel like better about the way I look.”
