It’s about damn time.
Lizzo revealed the secret to her slimdown — and clarified her Ozempic use — months after clapping back at rumors about the weight-loss drug.
“I’ve tried everything,” the singer, 37, said on Trisha Paytas’ “Just Trish” podcast Thursday.
However, the Grammy winner explained that she abandoned semaglutide early into her transformation.
“Ozempic works because you eat less food, yeah? So if you eat right, it makes you feel full,” she said. “But if you can just do that on your own and get mind over matter, it’s the same thing.”
Lizzo revealed that she saw the best results when she ditched her vegan diet.
“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 recalled.
“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 [weren’t] actually filling me up,” the songwriter continued.
She went on to defend those who use Ozempic to lose weight.
“It’s not easy,” Lizzo insisted. “It’s a drug to help somebody with something they’re struggling with.”
She added that “telling someone they’re cheating” is a “way of being fatphobic.”
Lizzo made headlines in September 2024 for hitting back at an Instagram hater questioning whether she was taking the type II diabetes drug.
“whyyyy [sic] do u follow me?” she asked at the time.
The following year, Lizzo explained that she had, instead, applied “a calorie deficit” and cut “sugary stuff” from her diet.
“Everybody’s body is different,” she reminded her social media followers in April. “Find out what works for you.”
