Lizzo opens about her weight loss journey after refuting rumours of using Ozempic: 'It's not easy'
Pop sensation
Lizzo
recently addressed her weight loss rumours and opened about her drastic weight loss journey.
Months after refuting rumors that she used Ozempic and other GLP-1 weight loss pills, pop sensation Lizzo acknowledged that she did use them.
The singer of About Damn Time confessed that she "tried everything" to reduce her weight, including weight loss injections, in a recent episode of Trisha Paytas' Just Trish podcast, which was released on Thursday, June 19.
'It's not easy,' said Lizzo, whose real name is Melissa Viviane Jefferson. She said, 'Ozempic works because you eat less food. That's it. It makes you feel full, so if you can just do that on your own and get mind over matter, it's the same s--t.'
The singer revealed that while she was experimenting with trendy weight loss medicines like Ozempic, she ultimately decided to focus on managing her calorie intake. 'It's just the science for me, calories in versus calories out,' she said.
During the conversation the four time Grammy winner also revealed that she stopped being vegan after nearly a decade and changed her diet completely. 'When I was vegan, I was consuming a lot of fake meats, I was eating a lot of bread, I was eating a lot of rice, and I had to eat a lot of it to stay full,' she shared.

'But really, I was consuming like 3,000 to 5,000 calories a day.'
Her change started when she traveled to Japan and saw an evident shift in the way her body reacted to animal-based meals. The Japanese diet is supposedly the healthiest in the world, according to Lizzo. She said, 'My body was so happy. My body was like, 'More, more please.' And I was like, 'OK, this is what my body likes.''
Since every person's body is unique, Lizzo revealed that she doesn't want to give away too much about her own weight loss strategies in fear, that others won't get the same results.
Although she didn't specify the brand or time she tried GLP-1, drugs like Ozempic, Wegovy, and Mounjaro have grown in popularity as weight reduction aids. These medications, which were originally developed to treat type 2 diabetes, are now frequently used to aid in weight loss.

As the nation celebrated International Day of Yoga on Saturday, the 'Dhadkan' star took to Instagram and explained the significance of including yoga in our daily life. "When we have just ONE of something, we MUST value it. This year's theme is Yoga for one earth, one is the key to maintaining the equilibrium between mind, body and soul. Health.. Let's value it, earn it and preserve it not just for ourselves but for the benefit of our entire ecosystem #InternationalYogaDay #YogaforSelfandSociety #SwasthRahoMastRaho #FitIndia #YogaforOneEarthOneHealth," she wrote. Shilpa also shared a video of her performing several yoga asanas. Earlier, Malaika Arora visited Gurugram to participate in a yoga session. Speaking to ANI, Malaika described yoga as "very instrumental" in her life and shared how it has helped her both mentally and physically over the years."I would like to say I would give a lot of credit to my genes, but yoga has been very, very instrumental in shaping a lot of my life. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Speel gratis in je browser – Geen download of installatie nodig!

" Malaika went on to share her thoughts on stress in everyday life and how yoga helps her stay balanced. Addressing the increasing mental pressure in today's world, she said, "Life is full of stress," and yoga can help anyone-- not just public figures-- find calm and focus."I feel it has nothing to do with being a public figure. Everybody, on a daily basis, deals with a lot, whether you're a public figure, a housewife, or someone working a 9-to-5 job. We all deal with physical or mental issues on a daily basis. Life is full of stress," Malaika told ANI. "Unfortunately, we are surrounded by situations. There's so much stimuli around us, phones being one of them. Every day, looking at phones and being on social media causes a lot of anxiety and stress. So, I think people today should find ways to de-stress, whatever it may be-- whether it's being outdoors, doing yoga, swimming, or meditating. Find that one activity that works for you, and make time for yourself to de-stress and love yourself," she added. The open-air event was hosted in a peaceful setting, something Malaika said enhanced the experience. (ANI)
