“You are what you eat,” they say, but sometimes, you are also what you stop eating. Just ask Lizzo, who, with a combination of hard work, a healthy diet, and shedding her old vegan habits, is embracing a new chapter in her health journey. On February 19, the 36-year-old singer took to Instagram, flaunting a slimmer physique in a cheeky selfie with the caption “Me myself & all my Memes.”
The transformation, captured in all its glory, led to fans wondering: Did Lizzo really ditch her vegan lifestyle to lose 60 pounds?
Her weight loss success story, which she has shared candidly with fans, is a testament to her discipline and the changes she’s made. While rumors swirled about her possibly using controversial drugs like Ozempic, Lizzo debunked those theories. With her trainer, Corey Calliet, backing her, she’s been hitting the gym hard, working on strength training, maintaining a calorie deficit, and making some surprising dietary changes along the way.
Let’s dive into what truly fueled Lizzo’s transformation.
Lizzo’s dietary shift: From Vegan to protein-powered
It’s not every day you hear about a former vegan revamping their diet for weight loss—but Lizzo has always been one to break the mold. In a video that turned heads, the Truth Hurts singer revealed how she reintroduced animal-based proteins into her diet. Her decision, sparked by a trip to Japan and some valuable research, led her to ditch the vegan diet that served her for years (via HealthLine).
Lizzo shared that animal proteins gave her more energy, helped combat mental fog, and played a significant role in her weight loss. The change wasn’t just about food; it was a mindset shift. From egg white cups to grilled chicken and buffalo lettuce wraps, her meals are now packed with the nutrients she needs to keep her body in check.
According to an insider (via Life & Style), Lizzo has slimmed down by a jaw-dropping 60 pounds! Standing tall at 5’10”, she’s shed the weight—going from tipping the scales at 308 pounds to a much sleeker 240. Looks like she’s proving that even when you’ve got it all going on, a little weight loss never hurt!
As her fans know, she’s never been shy about sharing her weight loss journey—both the highs and the lows. Her trainer, Corey Calliet, has spoken openly about her dedication to strength training, citing how Lizzo works out five days a week, focusing on high-intensity circuit training (via Business Insider).
She never wanted to do it, not one time. Ozempic doesn’t get this credit. She’s really working. She’s earning that body that she wants.
But strength training isn’t the only piece of the puzzle. Lizzo’s commitment to maintaining a calorie deficit has been a game-changer. For her, it’s simple math: burning more calories than you consume. She’s been diligent about sticking to this principle, and it’s shown in her results.
What’s important to remember is that there’s no magic bullet to weight loss. Lizzo’s success is rooted in a combination of effort, dedication, and balance. She’s been consistent with her caloric intake and focused on her goal without cutting corners.
Shutting down the Ozempic rumors: The real deal behind Lizzo’s weight loss
While the Internet was quick to speculate about Lizzo using Ozempic, the singer was equally quick to shut down those rumors. With a sense of humor that fans adore, she took to Instagram and posted a video with the caption,
When you finally get Ozempic allegations after five months of weight training and calorie deficit.
Lizzo’s weight loss journey is also about shedding the expectations others put on her. As she explains in her interview with The New York Times, she’s moved past the idea of body positivity and embraced what she calls “body neutrality”.
Lizzo isn’t here to sell anyone an ideal or a number on the scale. What she’s offering is authenticity, self-empowerment, and the confidence to own her story—no matter her size.
Whether you’re slimming down your waistline or shedding the weight of self-doubt, Lizzo’s out here proving that every journey is as unique as a snowflake — and the true goal? Rocking whatever skin you’re in!
What’s next for Lizzo, you ask? Well, she’s not hitting the brakes anytime soon. She’s off to set even bigger goals and flex her transformation muscles — not just in the gym, but in life. Whether it’s breaking boundaries, shaking up the status quo, or simply living her best life, Lizzo has got more in store than a Netflix season finale.
