Jason Kelce details his retirement weight-loss goals after Travis Kelce defends offseason ‘dad bod’

Jason Kelce revealed he had lofty weight loss goals after retiring from the NFL earlier this year.

During an interview with Arnold Schwarzenegger on Wednesday’s episode of the “New Heights” podcast, the former Philadelphia Eagles center, 36, detailed his plan to lose nearly 50 pounds.

“I’m doing it right now, I’m retired,” he told the former California governor.

“I played my whole career at 295 (pounds). I’m trying to get down to 250-260. My goal is to lose two pounds a week, but maintain my muscle mass,” Jason added.

“And I try to watch my carbs, my proteins and my fats.”

Schwarzenegger suggested that Kelce should “slowly decrease body fat” while “increasing muscle mass.”

Elsewhere in the episode, Travis Kelce revealed that his big brother had tried veganism.

“Jason does a lot of things, uh, what is it, are you vegan?” said the 34-year-old Kansas City Chiefs star.

“Jason is definitely vegan. I have always been vegan. I tried it for a week and couldn’t do it. I needed way more protein than beans.

The revelation comes less than a month after Jason said he doesn’t believe in extreme diets.

“I can’t wait to get skinny. But I’m going to slim down…last week I got down to 285,” he said during a March episode of the brothers’ podcast.

“There are different ways to do it. Personally, I don’t subscribe to extreme diets like going vegan or carnivore or keto. Hell no, I don’t do that.

Travis, for his part, also addressed his weight during the episode, after fans joked that he had a “dad body” while vacationing with girlfriend Taylor Swift.

“It’s March!” “” the athlete joked, suggesting he’s been more lenient with his diet and exercise after winning his third Super Bowl in March.

The tight end certainly made the most of the offseason, jetting off to Australia, Singapore and the Bahamas with his pop star girlfriend.
