Former NFL player Jason Kelce recently shared his weight-loss goals post-retirement during an interview on the 'New Heights' podcast. Kelce, who played as a center for the Philadelphia Eagles, aims to shed nearly 50 pounds from his playing weight of 295 pounds. His target weight range is between 250-260 pounds, with a goal of losing two pounds per week while maintaining muscle mass. Kelce emphasized the importance of monitoring his intake of carbs, proteins, and fats to achieve his desired weight loss.
During the podcast, Kelce discussed his venture into veganism, revealing that he has been following a vegan diet. His brother, Travis Kelce of the Kansas City Chiefs, mentioned Jason's commitment to veganism and his own experience trying the diet for a week but finding it challenging due to the need for more protein than plant-based sources offer.
Jason Kelce's weight-loss journey contrasts with his previous stance on extreme dieting, where he expressed skepticism towards approaches like veganism, carnivore, or keto diets. Despite his reservations about extreme dietary changes, Kelce is determined to slim down gradually and has already made progress towards his goal weight.
Travis Kelce also addressed comments about his physique, joking about having a 'dad bod' while on vacation with his girlfriend. The football star attributed his relaxed diet and exercise routine to enjoying the off-season after securing his third Super Bowl victory in March.
Both Kelce brothers have been actively engaging in personal health and wellness pursuits, with Jason focusing on weight loss and dietary adjustments, while Travis balances his fitness regimen with downtime during the off-season. Their candid discussions about diet and exercise shed light on the challenges and successes of maintaining a healthy lifestyle post-professional sports careers.
