Losing weight can be a real challenge, and some people turn to alternative methods to make the journey easier, including weight-loss medications. Recently, American singer Lizzo’s stunning body transformation has set the internet abuzz, with fans praising her radiant new look. However, the dramatic change has sparked speculation, with many assuming she might have turned to Ozempic — a drug originally prescribed for diabetes, now popularly used off-label for weight loss.
Lizzo, born Melissa Viviane Jefferson, recently revealed that she had reached her weight goal and lost 16% of her body fat. She had been posting her body transformation journey on Instagram, but many accused her of taking weight-loss medications such as Ozempic and Mounjaro. She denied those allegations, saying her process in losing weight has been a long journey since 2023, with a lot of help from her team. So, how did the singer lose the weight?
During a recent TikTok Live, the “Truth Hurts” hitmaker opened up about the dietary changes she’s made. Lizzo revealed that she now steers clear of “sugary stuff” in the mornings, opting instead for something “super savoury.” She also shared that she’s cut back on her usual two to three large Starbucks drinks after realising she was unknowingly consuming around 1,200 calories.
While the pop star doesn’t believe that counting calories is the healthiest approach, she admitted she had to adopt a calorie-deficient diet due to her tendency to binge eat. Lizzo was quick to emphasise that everybody is different, encouraging her followers to find what works best for them. She added that the only thing that “works across the board, science-wise, is calories in versus calories out.”
In addition to her dietary changes, the 36-year-old pop sensation has also made stress management a top priority. “I’ve been working to get my anxiety under control for years. And then I decided that I want to release and I’m ready to stop waiting to be myself, like, fully and be happy,” Lizzo shared.
Her body transformation and weight loss journey are nothing short of inspiring. Hats off to Lizzo! What do you think?
