Khaled announced the news on Tuesday via Instagram, with a video (below) that gives his followers a closer look at his challenging weight loss journey:
Nice!! Did you guys catch that side-by-side shot?
The 43-year-old opened up to People about finding success with the Weight Watchers program, which he credit for helping him shed the extra weight over 2018. He plans to keep it going, by recommitting to the program through 2019, saying:
“When I recommitted I was being honest with myself because I was on the road so much touring that it was difficult for me, with the hours I was up and the different cities I was traveling to and not having access to the foods that I wanted to eat. I would eat a bag of chips because it was there. No excuses there. But I’m actually happy about it because it taught me to maneuver now when I go on the road or working.”
After making a few mistakes on the road, he learned how to really balance his program with his busy lifestyle:
“During the day I eat foods that are low in points, and then for dinner, if I know I have a dinner meeting I save up my points so I can enjoy everything that I want to eat. And once I started that system, it became a lifestyle for me. Some days I eat a cheeseburger, some days I eat chicken stew. Somedays I eat salad, and on New Year’s Day I ate fried chicken. But I’m still within my points system.”
Ahh, it’s all about balance! And good thing he has his family to keep him focused at home when things slow down:
“I stuck to the point system to a T. And you know how every new year is. The new year is always a motivation to start the year off right. And November and December I got to be home, I wasn’t on the road, I got to be with my family recording my new album, and I enjoyed it with my queen [wife Nicole Tuck] and my son [Asahd, 2] every day, and I was dedicated.”
Keep it up, Khaled! In the words of the ever-positive hype man himself, YOU DA BEST.
