Lizzo Reveals The 'Truth' About Her Weight Loss Journey

Lizzo is finally setting the record straight about her weight loss and is not holding anything back.

After months of whispers and speculation about whether the pop icon turned to Ozempic or other quick fixes, the "Truth Hurts" singer shared before-and-after photos and a raw message about how she really got to this point.

From intense workouts and strict meal plans to stopping processed foods and embracing self-discipline, Lizzo revealed that her transformation was earned.

And now, she's letting fans in on what worked, making it clear that there were no shortcuts.

On Thursday, July 3, Lizzo took to Instagram to share an appreciation post for massage expert and spa owner Flavia Lanini, thanking her for her help in her weight loss transformation.

The 37-year-old shared side-by-side "before and after" photos of her "first" lymphatic massage with the spa and the "most recent."

In the caption, Lizzo explained how she lost weight, slamming blogs and people who said she took the easy way out.

"The photo on my left is my first time getting lymphatic massage from Flavina, and the right is the most recent! In light of all these magazines and blogs wanting me to be on Ozempic soooo bad — here's the truth," she began.

The Grammy award winner confirmed that her results came from "training 3x a week, daily sauna & cardio, adding animal protein back into my diet."

Lizzo also revealed that with the help of a personal chef, she maintained a calorie deficit while cutting out sugary drinks, chips, and junk food.

"I play pickleball and hike and walk on the beach and move my body and dance and drink water," Lizzo continued.

She mentioned that her routine extended beyond physical activity and staying in a calorie deficit. "I also get holistic body work done, wood therapy, and lymphatic massage."

With over 60 pounds shed, the rapper noted that she was happy and proud of her accomplishments, and nobody could discredit her.

Fans couldn't agree more as they flooded the comments section with supportive words. Many revealed that the star didn't owe anyone an explanation, as she had achieved her goal irrespective of how she did it.

"It doesn't matter how you did it. You did it. That's the accomplishment. You're amazing regardless. People are just mad they're broke because no matter what 'cheat' or 'easy way' you wanna take, you need money," one person wrote.

Another person commented, "I'm so glad you are doing what makes you happy. If others need a GLP1, that's okay too, we all need access to different things that help our journey."

Other users slammed Lizzo's post, calling it tone-deaf and a shade to Ozempic users. "Don't like the jab towards Ozempic. Fine, you didn't take it, but most of us cannot afford a personal chef, trainer, lymphatic massages, and saunas, so isn't that kind of cheating too?" one fan wrote.

A second person shared, "You're not better than others just because you don't use Ozempic. It's a different path, and people who use LPG medications have also had their own journey."

Lizzo's confession comes weeks after she admitted to trying out Ozempic.

During a June 19 appearance on the "Just Trish" podcast, she explained that initially, she went all out to achieve her weight loss goal, trying out the Type 2 diabetes drug. However, she concluded that the method wasn't the most effective way.

"I tried everything. Ozempic works because you eat less food, yeah? So if you eat right, it makes you feel full. But if you can just do that on your own and get mind over matter, it's the same thing," she shared.

Lizzo revealed she only started seeing the results she wanted when she began eating meat.

"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," the rapper noted.

Two months prior, Lizzo opened up about how her decision to go for "super savory" foods instead of "sugary stuff" in the morning helped her lose 16% of her body fat.

"I do something sweet. It's gotta be with some sort of like carb. I'll have like almond butter and toast. So, everybody's body is different. Find out what works for you," she said in a TikTok Live per PEOPLE.

The "Pink" singer also revealed that her weight loss journey became easier after a shift in mindset.

"I loved to distract myself with people. I loved to distract myself with food. I loved to distract myself with drinking. I loved to distract myself with problems that I would create. I would love to do that. And I stopped doing that. And I just focused on me," Lizzo confessed.
