Lizzo has never been one to shy away from speaking her truth—and her recent health transformation is no exception. Over the past year, fans have noticed her weight loss, sparking both praise and speculation. But the Grammy-winning artist has made it clear: her journey has nothing to do with shortcuts or trends—it’s about reclaiming her wellness on her own terms. Just as Adele has done.
In 2023, Lizzo began what she calls her “weight release journey,” focusing not just on appearance, but on feeling strong, centered, and healthy. By early 2025, she had reduced her body fat by 16% and lowered her BMI significantly—all through a combination of consistent lifestyle changes, not weight-loss drugs.
Her approach includes:
Changing her diet: After years of following a vegan lifestyle, Lizzo began incorporating animal protein into her meals, inspired in part by Japanese cuisine. Her typical meals now feature high-protein, low-carb options like egg white cups, cauliflower hash browns, grilled chicken, and vegetables.

Staying active: Lizzo commits to regular workouts, including strength training, Pilates, daily walks, and jump rope—building both endurance and confidence.
Prioritizing mental health: Meditation, reduced caffeine, and a more mindful daily routine have helped her manage anxiety and stay emotionally grounded.
With rapid body transformations often comes internet speculation, and Lizzo found herself at the center of Ozempic rumors in 2024. Ozempic, a medication designed for managing type 2 diabetes but widely used off-label for weight loss, has become a buzzword in celebrity wellness circles.
Lizzo’s response? Pure Lizzo. She posted a cheeky video with the caption: “When you finally get Ozempic allegations after 5 months of weight training and calorie deficit.” Her message was clear—her results come from effort and self-care, not injections. To drive the point home with her signature humor, she even dressed as a box of Ozempic for Halloween, turning rumors into satire.

Lizzo has long been an advocate for body positivity, but in recent interviews, she’s embraced a more nuanced perspective: body neutrality. “I’m not going to lie and say I love my body every day,” she shared. “But I respect it, and I take care of it.” Her message is powerful: it’s okay to have complicated feelings about your body. What matters is how you show up for yourself—physically, emotionally, and mentally.
Lizzo’s transparency cuts through the noise of diet culture, reminding us that health isn’t about achieving a certain look—it’s about building a life that feels good. Whether she’s on stage or off, she continues to champion self-love, community, and authenticity.
In a world obsessed with quick fixes and perfection, Lizzo stands out by choosing discipline over trends and self-respect over external validation.
