Kings of Leon Lead Singer Insecure About His Weight

The singer of the American band Kings of Leon has been talking about his weight problems and his insecurity with the way he looks physically. Caleb Followill said that when he was younger he would starve himself to stop the pounds piling on and resorted to many other different unhealthy ways of shedding body fat. You would normally expect that the lead singer of a band would be a person of great confidence and would be unlikely to have insecurities about their appearance because they were constantly in the limelight and the centre of attention.

Caleb Followill when interviewed by Q. Magazine said that he would do crazy things like go for a run in the middle of the day when the sun was hottest in order to burn off fat. In fact most of the weight loss associated with running in excessive heat would be due to the loss of bodily fluids and therefore would be extremely unhealthy. He also said that he thought that if he drank a lot of coffee he would suppress his appetite but in fact this just made him a nervous wreck.

Caleb who is now 26 has matured in the way that he looks at weight loss and staying in shape. Following good advice he is now working out at the gym and realising the importance of building up and toning muscle in order to shed fat. The great thing about losing weight by working out is that it builds up your confidence. Not only does the fat start to fall off but you also gain a better and more athletic posture which gives you confidence when dealing with daily situations.

Caleb reckons that if he builds up a little more muscle he will look like a man not to be messed with.
