Lizzo is setting the record straight about her body transformation. In a revealing post on Instagram, the 37-year-old Grammy award-winning artist shared before-and-after photos and a detailed breakdown of her fitness routine.
Lizzo credited an intense training regimen, a clean diet, monthly detoxes, and bodywork sessions for helping her reach her weight loss goals.
Lizzo adopted a full diet change and an assertive workout regimen to achieve her results
Lizzo’s recent post featured a before-and-after photo of her weight-loss journey.
According to the singer, the photos depicted the first and most recent times she got a lymphatic massage from internationally-known beautician Flávia Lanini, according to People.
According to the Cleveland Clinic, lymphatic massage can help reduce swelling and move waste toward the body’s lymph nodes. This aids in detoxification and contouring.
Lizzo poked some fun at the allegations that she was using Ozempic to lose weight in her post.
Ozempic is a type 2 diabetes injectable medication that has become popular due to its weight-loss effects.
“In light of all these magazines and blogs wanting me to be on Ozempic soooo bad—here’s the truth!” she wrote.
Lizzo’s new healthy lifestyle involves a lot of activity and a lot less sugar
Lizzo explained that she works out three times a week, does cardio and sauna sessions daily, and recently brought animal protein back into her diet.
She also hired a chef to help with meal prep and portion control. Apart from this, she also cut out sugary Starbucks drinks, full-fat sodas, and potato chips.
She also gave up alcohol for a time, though she’s started drinking again “’cause I earned it,” she joked.
Her other wellness habits include playing pickleball, hiking, walking on the beach, dancing, and drinking plenty of water.
Lizzo stated that she detoxes once a month, and she also gets holistic body work done, on top of wood therapy.
She ended the post by saying, “I’m so happy and proud of what I’ve done, and no one can take that away from me.”
Netizens were supportive of Lizzo’s recent photos, with many praising her for her weight loss.
“Good for her!! I am sure she feels sooo much better,” one commenter stated.
“I applaud anyone for losing weight regardless of how they were able to,” another wrote.
Lizzo now follows a strict high-protein, low-carb meal plan
In her Women’s Health cover story, Lizzo revealed what she eats on a typical day.
Her meals are designed to be high-protein and low-carb.
Her breakfast typically includes two scrambled eggs, chicken sausage, and a cauliflower hash brown, according to the Daily Mail.
For lunch, she eats shredded Thai chicken salad or lettuce wraps filled with tuna or sliced chicken breast.
Her dinner, which has to be eaten by 5 p.m., is often turkey meatloaf with cauliflower mashed potatoes and green beans.
Her snacks include Greek yogurt with fruit and honey.
Lizzo noted that her meal schedule was partly due to her gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), which requires her body to have time to digest food properly before she rests for the night.
“I have GERD, so my body needs time to digest food before I go to sleep, so acid doesn’t roll up to my throat,” she said.
She says the journey was slow, but deeply intentional
In April, Lizzo opened up on the On Purpose podcast about what she calls her “weight release journey.”
She said the changes happened slowly and intentionally over the last year and a half.
“I put it on the internet. I posted about it, and I think over the last year and a half, as I’ve been doing it, my body has been changing — very slowly — but I don’t think people were paying attention.
“I was still very anti-fatphobia on this entire journey. But I think that we gotta remember: everybody’s not seeing your sh*t all the time, everybody’s not seeing every video you post, everybody’s not privy to what you’re going through,” she added.
Despite her changing body, Lizzo stated that she’s still committed to body positivity and self-love, adding that she works out mostly for her mental health.
“I’ve never regretted a workout. Exercise is the best mood enhancer,” she said.
