Machine Gun Kelly's Extreme Diet: A Water Fast Pushed Him to Delirium
Machine Gun Kelly's Shocking Confessions: From Water Fasting to Migraines, What's Behind the Rapper's Dramatic Weight Loss?
In a jaw-dropping revelation that has left fans and experts alike concerned, Machine Gun Kelly, aka Colson Baker, has opened up about his extreme dieting methods, including a four-day water fast. The 35-year-old rapper, known for his chart-topping hits and edgy style, appeared on the New York Times's Popcast podcast, where he candidly shared his struggles with food and exercise.
The news comes as a shock to fans who have been following Kelly's journey since his highly publicized breakup from actress Megan Fox last year. In an exclusive interview with The Scholarly Note (thescholarlynote.com), we delve into the rapper's alarming weight loss, his extreme dieting methods, and what might be driving this drastic change.
From Rehab to Water Fasting
Kelly revealed that after leaving rehab in January, where he had been for several weeks following a tumultuous split from Fox, he decided to embark on a water fast. The decision was made while trying to "get right" with himself, as the world's spotlight continued to shine brightly on his personal life. In an attempt to "reset," Kelly opted for a four-day water-only diet, which he described as a way to detox and recharge.
However, this drastic measure has raised eyebrows among fans and health experts alike. When asked about his diet, Kelly explained that he typically eats only a few times a week, relying on water, celery juice, coconut water, kimchi, sauerkraut, and bone broth for probiotics. "I'll drink coffee and cigarettes too," he casually mentioned, sparking concern among those who suspect an eating disorder.
The Dark Side of Water Fasting
Kelly's decision to push himself into a "delirious state" during his water fast has sparked worry about the potential risks associated with this extreme dieting method. Experts warn that water fasting can lead to dehydration, electrolyte imbalances, and even organ damage if not done under medical supervision.
When asked by podcast hosts Jon Caramonica and Joe Coscarelli how he managed to endure such a drastic weight loss, Kelly candidly replied, "I was pushing myself to kind of a delirious state." The rapper's comments come at a time when fans are expressing concern about his alarming weight loss, with some speculating that he has dropped up to 32 pounds since leaving rehab.
Malibu, Wildfires, and Michael B. Jordan
Kelly's four-day water fast coincided with the Los Angeles wildfires, which started "pretty close" to his Malibu home studio. In a bizarre twist, Kelly revealed that while on day three of his fast, he was evacuating with neighbor Michael B. Jordan when they spotted the fires raging nearby.
"I grabbed some sentimental letters and a Banksy piece and a Picasso piece," Kelly recalled, highlighting the surreal experience of witnessing a natural disaster while in a state of fasting-induced delirium.
The Migraine Connection
In an additional revelation that has left fans stunned, Kelly shared that he recently experienced a 50-hour migraine during a TV interview with ESPN's Pat McAfee. When asked by McAfee if his water fasting was contributing to the migraine, Kelly responded candidly, "I actually do think it's catching up to me."
The rapper's admission raises questions about the long-term effects of his extreme dieting methods on his physical and mental health.
A New Album, a New Chapter?
As Kelly releases his new album Lost Americana, fans are left wondering if this marked a turning point in his life. Will he continue down the path of water fasting and extreme weight loss, or will he find a more balanced approach to his well-being?
One thing is certain: Machine Gun Kelly's shocking confessions have sent shockwaves through the entertainment industry, sparking concern about the rapper's health and leaving fans eagerly awaiting his next move.
