Lizzo discusses her 'complicated relationship' with food as she reveals how she shed the pounds after weight loss transformation
The singer, 37, who has undergone a weight loss transformation, shared her journey and gave an insight into her new diet.
Speaking to Women's Health as part of their Fuel Like series, Lizzo explained: 'My relationship with eating has evolved so much.
'We've had highs and we've had lows. Like it's a very complicated relationship. Um there have been times where I have undernourished myself.
'There have been times where I was binging. I feel like right now in my life when I intuitively eat and listen to my body, that always works out for me.'
Lizzo admitted she went through a phase of feeling 'very low energy' which led her to 'eating animal protein' again.
She continued: 'I had a period where I was experiencing a lot of like stomach pain and and stomach issues.
'So my trainer at the time, he noticed my diet and he was like, you know, I highly suggest a Japanese diet.
'When I had the opportunity to go to Japan for the first time, I was like, "All right, let's let's put our toe in the water with a country whose food I know is very, very clean."
'And I started eating animal proteins over there. And I felt incredible.'
It comes after the About Damn Time hitmaker spoke openly about her health journey in a new interview with Women's Health.
Within the issue, she revealed she's adopted a high-protein, low-carb diet to help hit her goals.
She starts her day with a go-to breakfast of two scrambled eggs, chicken sausage, and a cauliflower hash brown.
For lunch, she eats a shredded Thai chicken salad or lettuce wraps stuffed with tuna or sliced chicken breast.
And for dinner, the entertainer often chooses turkey meatloaf with cauliflower mashed potatoes and green beans.
Lizzo displayed her extraordinary weight loss in stripped down side-by-side photos shared to Instagram last week.
The music artist wore paper undergarments in mirror selfies while shouting out wellness professional Flávia Lanini.
She wrote in the caption, 'THIS IS A @flavialanini APPRECIATION POST,' before detailing how she's slimmed down in recent months.
'The photo on the left is my first time getting lymphatic massage from Flavia, and the right is the most recent!' she noted.
Then the star divulged: 'Here's the truth! I work my *ss off, training 3x a week, daily sauna & cardio, adding animal protein back into my diet, hiring a chef who helps me meal prep and keeps track of what I put into my body in a calorie deficit, cutting out sugary Starbucks & full fat sodas & potato chips.'
Lizzo, born Melissa Jefferson, said she 'quit drinking for the longest' but has reincorporated it into her lifestyle because 'I earned it.'
Outlining her physical activity, she listed, 'I play pickleball and hike and walk on the beach and move my body and dance and drink water.'
She also wrote to her nearly 12 million followers, 'I detox! Once a month! I also get holistic body work done, wood therapy, and lymphatic massage.
'I'm so happy and proud of what I've done and no one can take that away from me.'

Rosie O'Donnell, 63, shocks fans with a VERY trim size 12 shape thanks to 'life saver' weight loss drug Mounjaro
Rosie O'Donnell is marveling at the slimmed down figure she has achieved with the help of weight loss drug Mounjaro. The former talk show host, 63, has been taking the drug since late 2022, yet remains in disbelief over how far she has come. In her latest Instagram post, Rosie revealed she is now a size 12 - and praised the drug as a 'life saver'. Rosie showed off her dramatic results as she went shopping for a new travel outfit, her slimmed down body on display in a fitted black track suit. 'ok so went shopping to but a comfy lounge wear outfit for my 22 hour flight to australia- was undecided as i cant see myself in this new smaller body- cam n robin took this photo of me in the dressing room - i am shocked im a 12 - #mounjaro is a life saver,' she gushed in the caption. Fans were equally impressed in the comments, with one merely stating 'WOW' (along with a few emojis) in response to the picture. Kristin Chenoweth also chimed in, writing: 'You look amazing!' Another wrote: 'It is a life changing med! Not only does it help you lose weight but decreases the inflammation in your body so you feel so much better. Rosie - you look great and hope you feel great too!!' One complimented her: ''I've been needing this for years but my insurance won't cover it. You look awesome-although your Beautiful soul shines through in ANY body.' Mounjaro 'is an injectable prescription medicine that is used along with diet and exercise to improve blood sugar (glucose) in adults with type 2 diabetes mellitus,' per the official website. Back in March of this year, O'Donnell talked about her 'shocking' new size after taking the medication. In a TikTok video uploaded at the time, she explained to her followers: 'I am on Mounjaro for my diabetes and one of the side effects is you lose weight. 'But [the weight loss] is also because I had a chef for over two years in Los Angeles and I don't have a chef now. It's me cooking for [my child] Clay and me.' The TV personality then recalled how she went to a clothing store in Dublin and revealed she was a size large after previously wearing sizes XL or XXL. 'I find it shocking. I really do. I find it completely shocking,' the mom-of-five expressed. Being on Mounjaro has not only aided her in losing weight, but has made her feel 'healthier' and she is also 'sleeping better.' Back in January 2023, Rosie revealed she had been prescribed the medication and credited it with helping her drop 10 pounds during the holiday season. While taking her child to school, the star explained on TikTok: 'I need to let you know I've lost 10lbs since Christmas.' She added that she had been taking Mounjaro after a fan commented, 'You can't drop a bomb like that and not tell us HOW???' Rosie stated, 'Okay, so like two months ago, my doctor put me on... not Ozempic, Mounjaro? Something like that, and Repath.' She added, 'One I do every other week, and one I do once a week. And that and on Christmas, I stopped drinking anything except water. 'Now I have had champagne one night, that was a toast, and some wine one night, so it hasn't been 100% but I really stopped drinking like five or six Diet Coke's a day.' Rosie now only sticks to drinking water and has reduced her sugar intake while also sharing, 'And my appetite has decreased significantly. 'It's probably the meds, and I'm trying to move more, so all of those things combined, that's what it is.' In a recent weight loss update, she continued to marvel at her results with a photo of her doing stand-up. In the caption of the picture, the star penned to her followers: 'i cant believe this is me now #mounjaro #weightloss #bodydismorphia.'

But what really matters is that you are still you. "Brilliant, crazy funny, kind, decent and compassionate human. You are amazing and inspiring!" Everything you need to know about fat jabs Weight loss jabs are all the rage as studies and patient stories reveal they help people shed flab at almost unbelievable rates, as well as appearing to reduce the risk of serious diseases. Wegovy – a modified version of type 2 diabetes drug Ozempic – and Mounjaro are the leading weight loss injections used in both the US and the UK. How do they work? The jabs work by suppressing your appetite, making you eat less so your body burns fat for energy instead and you lose weight. They do this my mimicking a hormone called GLP-1, which signals to the brain when the stomach is full, so the drugs are officially called GLP-1 receptor agonists. They slow down digestion and increase insulin production, lowering blood sugar, which is why they were first developed to treat type 2 diabetes in which patients' sugar levels are too high. Are there any risks? Yes – side effects are common but most are relatively mild. Around half of people taking the drug experience gut issues, including sickness, bloating, acid reflux, constipation and diarrhoea. Dr Sarah Jarvis, GP and clinical consultant at said: 'One of the more uncommon side effects is severe acute pancreatitis, which is extremely painful and happens to one in 500 people.' Other uncommon side effects include altered taste, kidney problems, allergic reactions, gallbladder problems and hypoglycemia. Evidence has so far been inconclusive about whether the injections are damaging to patients' mental health. Figures obtained by The Sun show that, up to January 2025, 85 patient deaths in the UK were suspected to be linked to the medicines Rosie revealed she was using mounjaro back in January 2023. She revealed that she was starting her weight loss transformation in a TikTok video. Rosie then shared an update this March, revealing how she had "lost more weight". After moving to Ireland, she said, "I've lost more weight. "I am on Mounjaro for my diabetes and one of the side effects is you lose weight. "But it's also because I had a chef for over two years in Los Angeles and I don't have a chef now. It's me cooking for Clay and me." 5
