Speaking candidly on Trisha Paytas\u2019 <em>Just Trish<\/em> podcast, the Grammy-winning artist opened up about the complexity of managing her health and body image in the public eye. While she emphasized that these medications did have an effect by reducing her appetite, Lizzo ultimately stepped away from them in favor of a more mindful, sustainable approach focused on calorie management and nutritional adjustments.<\/p>\n<p>She explained that the simplicity of how GLP-1 drugs work\u2014by making users feel full\u2014can mirror the results of mental discipline and conscious eating. Rather than relying solely on medication, Lizzo chose to shift her diet and embrace a more intuitive relationship with food. One of the biggest changes she made was moving away from her vegan lifestyle after nearly a decade. She revealed that while being vegan, she consumed a high volume of processed alternatives, breads, and carbs to feel full\u2014ultimately pushing her daily intake far beyond what her body needed. Her pivot began during a trip to Japan, where the emphasis on whole, unprocessed animal foods made her feel physically healthier and more energized.<\/p>\n<p>Despite this clarity, Lizzo also addressed why she was initially reluctant to talk about using weight loss injections. Her decision to remain private was rooted in the concern that others might try to imitate her choices without understanding the personal nuances involved. Aware of how different bodies respond differently to diet, medication, and exercise, she was wary of promoting an approach that might not be universally effective. She also didn\u2019t disclose the specific brand of GLP-1 drug she used or the exact timeline of her usage.<\/p>\n<p>Interestingly, Lizzo had previously tackled Ozempic rumors with a firm denial on Instagram in late 2024, insisting that her results came from months of weight training and cutting calories. She doubled down on that in an April 2025 TikTok livestream, where she revealed she\u2019d dropped 16% of her body fat by making everyday changes\u2014like removing high-calorie Starbucks drinks from her routine. Through all these revelations, Lizzo remains focused on promoting a more informed, balanced view of body health, reminding fans that quick fixes aren\u2019t always the best path forward and that tuning into one\u2019s own body is the real key to transformation.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Lizzo has finally addressed long-running speculation about her weight loss journey, confirming that she did in fact try Ozempic and\u2026<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":294,"featured_media":78589,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[67],"tags":[1001],"class_list":["post-78588","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-celebrity-news","tag-lizzo"],"reading_time":"2 min read","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/usa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/78588","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/usa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/usa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/usa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/294"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/usa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=78588"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/usa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/78588\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/usa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/78589"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/usa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=78588"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/usa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=78588"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/usa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=78588"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
