Lizzo Reveals the Diet Change That Helped Her Lose Weight Without Ozempic
As a four-time Grammy Award winner and fashion visionary with her inclusive shapewear brand Yitty, Lizzo has become a household name in the entertainment industry. The 'Truth Hurts' singer also speaks openly about body positivity not only in her lyrics, but in interviews and on social media, where she discussed her body confidence and weight loss journey. In a June 19 appearance on Trisha Paytas's podcast Just Trish, Lizzo opened up about the weight loss strategies that have worked for her—plus the ones she's opted out of. In a September 2024 Instagram post, Lizzo shared a video with the caption, 'When you finally get Ozempic allegations after 5 months of weight training and calorie deficit,' addressing fans' questions on whether the type 2 diabetes drug played a role in her health journey. In the Just Trish episode, Lizzo and Paytas discussed losing weight with Ozempic. Paytas said that pregnancy has prevented her from trying it, but after she gives birth to her third child she would consider using the medication. Paytas then asked Lizzo if she's ever tried any weight loss medication. "I've tried everything,' Lizzo responded. 'It's just the science for me: calories in, versus calories out. 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.' Swapnil Patel, MD, MHCM, FACP, Vice Chairman of the Department of Medicine at Hackensack Meridian Jersey Shore University Medical Center, says that although medications can be helpful, nutrition plays a big role in weight loss. 'Many people are surprised by how much impact nutrition alone can have on their hunger, energy and weight when they shift toward higher-quality, whole foods,' says Dr. Patel. 'While medications can be a helpful tool for some, especially those with underlying metabolic conditions, others find that simplifying their eating habits and tuning in to natural hunger cues is more sustainable long-term. The key is keeping to what works for each individual's body and life.' While Lizzo seems to generally follow a 'calories in, calories out' mindset, she's also adjusted her diet to make sure she's getting enough satiating calories vs. empty calories. Lizzo shared that while following a vegan diet in the past, she often didn't feel full despite consuming a high number of calories. 'When I was vegan, I was consuming a lot of fake meats," Lizzo said. "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. But really, I was consuming like 3,000 to 5,000 calories a day.' She also opened up about the hidden calories and additives in foods that appeared healthy. 'We live in a society that makes super calorically-dense food and they hide it," Lizzo said. "So you're eating something that's small and you think, 'Oh yeah this is a healthy little protein bar.' It'll be like 300 calories and filled with all this fake sugar and weird s--- that f---- you up on the inside that you're not even aware of. Then you'd still be hungry.' On the podcast, Lizzo shared that she followed a diet around plant foods for a decade before incorporating meat and seafood back into her diet. 'I think I was plant-based for like 10 years,' Lizzo said. 'And then really vegan from 2020 to 2023.' While switching to a new dietary routine after so many years may seem difficult, Lizzo not only made the change, but found it helpful in kick-starting her weight loss. 'When I started actually eating whole foods and eating beef and chicken and fish, I was actually full and not expanding my stomach by putting a lot of like fake things in there that wasn't actually filling me up,' Lizzo said. 'When someone transitions from a highly-processed diet to one based on whole, minimally-processed foods, it can have a profound impact on their overall wellbeing,' says Dr. Patel. 'Whole foods are naturally richer in fiber, protein and essential nutrients—all of which support steadier blood sugar levels, more sustained energy and improved satiety.' If you've found yourself struggling to feel full with seemingly healthy meals, a whole food diet could help. 'Whole foods tend to be more satiating because they're higher in fiber, water and volume that promote a sense of fullness,' says Dr. Patel. 'Additionally, they often require more chewing and digestion, triggering satiety hormones like GLP-1 and peptide YY. In contrast, ultra-processed foods are designed to be hyper-palatable and easy to over consume. They often bypass the body's natural satiety signals, which can lead to eating more without feeling full.' Rather than focusing on weight loss, Lizzo has said she's on a 'weight release' journey—a 'very intentional' term that she said more accurately ecompasses the holistic changes she's making without negatively impacting her younger fans. "My man, he's so funny,' said Lizzo of her boyfriend Mike Wright, as reported by People. 'He was the one that brought it to my attention at first. Because at first I was like, 'Oh my gosh I lost five pounds' and he was like, 'Where did it go?' It's like, I don't think I want to lose anything. I think I want to win. I think I want to gain.' And in a January 2025 Instagram post, Lizzo shared that she reached her goal, reducing her body fat by 16 percent and lowering her body mass index (BMI) by 10.5 points. 'I did it,' she wrote. 'Today when I stepped on my scale, I reached my weight release goal. I haven't seen this number since 2014! Let this be a reminder you can do anything you put your mind to. Time for new goals!'

Lizzo says she tried Ozempic amid weight loss journey
Lizzo shared new details about her recent weight loss journey and got real about weight-loss drugs in a new appearance on the 'Just Trish' podcast, hosted by internet personality Trisha Paytas. When Paytas asked the 37-year-old pop star if she's ever experimented with weight-loss drugs, Lizzo replied: 'I've tried everything. It's just the science for me: calories in, versus calories out. 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.' Lizzo previously addressed rumors that she used Ozempic to lose weight in an Instagram post in September 2024, explaining that she'd been focusing on 'weight training and calorie deficit.' In the podcast episode, the 'Truth Hurts' singer went on to reveal that she really started to lose weight once she scaled back on her vegan lifestyle. 'When I was vegan, I was consuming a lot of fake meats,' she recalled. '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. But really, I was consuming like 3,000 to 5,000 calories a day.' 'We live in a society that makes super calorically dense food and they hide it,' she continued. 'So you're eating something that's small and you think, 'Oh yeah this is a healthy little protein bar.' It'll be like 300 calories and filled with all this fake sugar and weird s--- that f---- you up on the inside that you're not even aware of. Then you'd still be hungry.' Protein bars and fake meats are two foods often considered health foods but can actually be unhealthy, dietitian Collin Popp, Ph.D., previously told Lizzo added that eating more 'whole foods' and meats, such as beef, chicken and fish, was a game changer for her health because she was no longer eating 'a lot of like fake things ... that wasn't actually filling me up.' While Lizzo has found success with this particular approach, she emphasized that there's no one-size-fits-all weight-loss method. 'I don't like to tell people too much about releasing weight, like what I did, because I don't want people to do what I did and it doesn't work for them,' she said. 'Everybody's body is different. So I don't know if GLP-1 might be the only thing that works for you because I don't know what your blood work is like. I don't know how your body breaks down food (and) sugar. I don't know. But I know for me I just had to start eating meat again.' While appearing on the 'Just Trish' podcast, the star also explained that she was motivated to lose weight after experiencing back pain. 'My back was in such a bad place where I couldn't stand for more than like 15 minutes at a time. I had to sit down and do figure 4s and stretch my back out during dance rehearsal for tour,' she said. She'd also have to stretch her back while changing outfits between songs and do a cold plunge 'immediately' after each show since her back was 'radiating so much pain.' The singer noted that the discomfort stemmed from compressed discs in her back. 'The only way to really alleviate that is surgery or releasing a little bit of weight. So I was like, I want to be Tina Turner. I want to be doing stadium shows when I'm 70. If my back is on this track right now, there's no way I'm going to be able to do that without serious surgery. So that was my decision,' she said.

Lizzo was "bawling in bed" this week and admitted some days she "just can't take it". The 37-year-old singer has reflected on her mental health in a candid message to her fans where she urged them to keep going despite their struggles. She wrote on Instagram on Wednesday (21.05.25): "My crashouts about the world are valid. And so are yours. "Today I was bawling in bed… I cancelled my workout… I was driving around sobbing because some days I just can't take it. This s*** ain't easy for anybody. "I have grace for everyone who feels like they're going insane… for everyone who feels like nothing is good enough… for everyone who feels like they failed… I FEEL YOU... 'But I'm still here, and so are you.' The 'Truth Hurts' hitmaker recently celebrated her birthday on April 27, and used the special day as an opportunity to open up about her mental health. She wrote at the time: "I'm a tough cookie. I tried my whole life not to cry and be seen as anything less than strong. "I had a lot of anxiety leading up to my birthday and I could feel it clogging my emotions…" Despite "freaking out" during the evening, she found herself looking around at her loved ones and "cried like a baby" with tears of joy. "Last night at dinner, while freaking out about not spending time with everyone equally and worrying if people were having a good time, I looked and saw my mommy brother sister sitting in front of me, eating and smiling.. "I looked to my right and my best friend Lexo was making a joke about eating avocados and I lost it. I cried like a baby! I couldn't control the tears pouring through the wall I'd been hiding behind. "I was SO HAPPY because regardless of yesterday and regardless of what was gonna happen next, in that very moment I had everything I needed. In that moment everything was ok."

Tired of too many ads? go ad free now Towards the end of the episode, the 'Truth Hurts' singer and podcast host were "prescribing" advice to listeners, and were asked about two friends making the jump from platonic to romantic, reports 'People' magazine. As they continued to dish out their opinions, Lizzo revealed that she and her boyfriend first met as friends, telling Shane, 25, "I had a friends-to-lovers trope". "We both worked on this one TV show, (Wonderland), for MTV. I was the music girl, he was the comedy guy", she said. "I was just like, 'He's my best friend'". "I didn't have any guy friends like that, well, I did because you know I'm in the music industry. But I was like 'Wow, I can really talk to him. We had this crazy bond for years", she continued. "I do love that we were friends first, so that means we can talk about anything". "He's your best friend", Shane replied. "Literally", agreed the 'Good As Hell' singer. She then confessed, "That is low-key like a fantasy. Right? It's like a 'Book-Tok' dream to be like, 'Oh my God, like he was my best friend'". Lizzo and Wright confirmed their romance in April 2022, after Andy Cohen accidentally "outed" their relationship when she appeared on his radio show that month. Two months later, they made their red carpet debut at a 'For Your Consideration' event for her Watch Out for the Big Grrrls Amazon Prime Video reality. Months later, in a December 2022 interview on 'The Howard Stern Show', she spoke about the evolution of their relationship, saying that they're "not playing any games with each other anymore. We're very much locked in".
