Machine Gun Kelly's Meal Plan Raised Eyebrows
Machine Gun Kelly raised eyebrows with his eating habits.
When asked if he eats once a day, Kelly (real name: Colson Baker) brushed it off with a brief reply, explaining he “fasted mainly.”
“Like I ate that burger cause we’re streaming and it’s my man s--- you know,” MGK replied, confirming that it wouldn’t have been the case if they weren’t on camera.
When asked what he would’ve eaten on a normal day, MGK replied, “Probably water. I’ll eat a couple times a week … bone broth with kimchi and sauerkraut.”
Fermented Foods Are Staples in MGK's Diet
Machine Gun Kelly said fermented foods were a staple in his diet.
The rapper said he ate those foods for the “probiotics,” adding, “So like when you do those water fast, the only thing that’s crazy is it kills all the bacteria in you too, you gotta put the probiotics.”
Sauerkraut and kimchi are both dishes that consist of fermented vegetables. Fermentation “is an anaerobic process in which microorganisms like yeast and bacteria break down food components (e.g. sugars such as glucose) into other products (e.g. organic acids, gases or alcohol),” according to the Heart foundation.
Health benefits include weight management, better mood and brain activity, increased bone health and better recovery after exercise.
