    Cliff Notes – Lizzo reveals the secret to her major weight loss

    • American pop singer Lizzo attributed her weight loss to a combination of using Ozempic initially and later focusing on whole foods and took a swipe at Veganism calling it a ‘fake meats’. 
    • She emphasised that using Ozempic is not ‘cheating’ and highlighted the importance of personal willpower in achieving weight loss goals.
    • Despite her journey, Lizzo remains confident in her body image, stating that she will still be considered ‘morbidly obese’ by BMI standards but prioritises her happiness.

    Lizzo reveals the secret to her major weight loss

    Lizzo has revealed the secret behind her major lifestyle change. She has finally revealed the secrets behind – lizzo weight loss journey after undergoing an entire lifestyle change in the last few years.

    The American pop singer and rapper, 37, rose to international fame during the late 2010s with body positive anthems like Juice and Good As Hell.

    Born Melissa Jefferson, Lizzo proudly wore her ‘Big Grrrrl’ status on her sleeve and posed nude on the front cover of her 2019 album Cuz I Love You.

    The secret to her major weight loss

    In the 2020s, Lizzo began to lose weight and, as of January 2025, had reached a weight she hadn’t been since 2014 – she dropped 10.5 off her BMI score.

    Now she’s revealed how she managed to shave 16% off her body fat total, admitting to trialling a popular method of weight loss that’s currently all the rage.

    Speaking to the Just Trish podcast, she said: ‘I tried everything. Ozempic works because you eat less food, yeah? So if you eat right, it makes you feel full.’

    She has admitted to trying Ozempic in the early days 

    Ozempic, which contains the diabetes management drug semaglutide, has become popular among both celebrities and civilians for helping to suppress their appetites, control blood sugar levels, and lose weight.

    However, lizzo weight loss was not straightforward, she insisted that while she tried Ozempic at first, she realised she couldn’t rely on it and tried to mimic its effects with her own willpower.

    ‘But if you can just [control your diet] on your own and get mind over matter, it’s the same thing,’ she added, also revealing that stopping her vegan diet also helped.

    Despite quitting, Lizzo doesn’t see using Ozempic as ‘cheating’.

    ‘I was consuming a lot of fake meats. I was eating a lot of bread, I was eating a lot of rice’ 

    ‘What [caused weight loss] for me was not being vegan. Because 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 continued on to say that, on some days, she was consuming anywhere between 3,000 and 5,000 calories per day in order to avoid feeling hungry.

    ‘When I started actually eating whole foods and eating, like, beef and chicken and fish, I was actually full and not expanding my stomach by putting a lot of fake things in there that wasn’t actually filling me up.’

    Despite dropping off Ozempic pretty quickly, Lizzo maintains that using it – and similar branded drugs like Mounjaro – isn’t ‘cheating’ and that people criticising those who do are ‘fatphobic’.

    ‘Let this be a reminder you can do anything you put your mind to. Time for new goals!’.

    She had reached her target weight

    In January, she revealed that she had reached her target weight after working hard to maintain a lifestyle change for more than two years.

    She said on Instagram: ‘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 had said in an earlier video, ‘I am actually on an intentional weight loss journey right now.Even at the end of my weight loss journey, I’m not going to be considered thin by any means.

    ‘I will still be considered morbidly obese on the BMI, and little bros on the internet are still going to call me “big backed.” But I will be happy,’ she said.

    The video then cut to her today, where she could be seen grinning ear to ear as she declared: ‘And I am happy’.

    What is Ozempic?

    Ozempic is a brand-name prescription medication containing the active ingredient semaglutide. It is a drug used to treat Type 2 diabetes and is not specifically approved for weight loss in the UK and Europe, it is prescribed off-label for that purpose by private doctors, but doesn’t always work.
