Lizzo is opening up about her recent weight loss, admitting that she did use a GLP-1 drug like Ozempic, but ultimately claims she dropped the weight due to major dietary changes.

“I’ve tried everything,” the 37-year-old singer said during a conversation on the “Just Trish” podcast. “It’s just the science, for me, calories in vs. calories out. Ozempic works because you eat less food.”

“It makes you feel full. So, if you can just do that on your own and get mind-over-matter, it’s the same,” she added.

The “Good as Hell” singer said that quitting her vegan diet in favor of eating beef and chicken helped her with weight loss.

“What did it for me was — actually it was not being vegan,” Lizzo said. “Because 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. But really I was consuming like 3,000 to 5,000 calories a day.”

“So for me, when I actually started 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, like, fake things in there that wasn’t actually filling me up,” she continued.

The singer was known to her fans as being a champion of the body positivity movement, which has led to some fans having a negative reaction to her massive weight loss. She had originally denied using Ozempic and said her noticeable body change was due to a “calorie deficit.”

Lizzo addressed some of the backlash in a May 2023 TikTok video.

“Once I started working out for mental health, to have balanced mental health or endorphins, so that I don’t look at myself in the mirror and feel ashamed of myself, and feel disgusted with myself, exercise has helped me shift my mind, not my body,” she said at the time, per People. “My body is gonna change, everyone’s bodies change. That’s life.”
