Lizzo FINALLY admits to using Ozempic amid extreme weight loss transformation

BBG News

As a wellness advocate, I’m sharing an interesting update: Recently, Lizzo confessed that she temporarily employed Ozempic as part of her remarkable weight loss journey. This medication, designed primarily for diabetes management, has also been found to assist with weight reduction in some cases. However, it’s important to remember that every individual’s path to wellness is unique, and what works for one may not work the same way for another.

37-year-old artist known for “The Truth Hurts,” publicly displays her trimmer physique on various social platforms, recently discussed this matter candidly in an episode of Trisha Paytas’ podcast, “Just Trish,” that aired on Thursday.

2023 marked the beginning of the Grammy winner’s weight loss journey, during which she started using Ozempic. However, as time went on, she realized that long-term, GLP-1 medications would not be beneficial for her.

‘I’ve exhausted all options, but Ozempic seems effective since it helps reduce appetite. Consequently, if you maintain a balanced diet, it can make you feel satisfied.’

Afterward, I shared, “However, if you manage to achieve that self-control and conquer your thoughts, it essentially boils down to the same outcome.

In my fervent admiration for this stellar figure, I must say that when she hit her weight loss target, it was all about her revamped eating habits that she creditably highlighted as the key element.

Lizzo has adhered to a strictly plant-based diet for quite some time now, and during the years 2020 to 2023, she exclusively ate vegan food items.

She shared with Trisha that what made a difference for her was no longer adhering to a vegan diet, as she found herself eating large amounts of imitation meat products while vegan.

As a committed adherent, I found myself frequently indulging in substantial amounts of bread and rice, often feeling the need to consume large portions of both to maintain my fullness. In truth, my daily caloric intake ranged between 3,000 and 5,000 calories.

The singer-songwriter discussed the issue that certain compact food items may contain artificial sweeteners, giving the impression that they have been filled with sugar, yet leaving you unsatisfied and still craving for more.

For myself, as I began to consume wholesome food such as meat, poultry, and seafood, I found myself truly satisfied instead of stretching my stomach with excessive amounts of artificial substances that didn’t provide the necessary nourishment.

The star decided to discontinue Ozempic usage earlier than planned, but she clarified that using this medication to aid in weight loss does not equate to ‘cheating’ for those who continue to take it.

The performer conveyed that it’s a difficult situation. They explained that it’s a medication to assist someone who is dealing with challenges they are facing.

‘I think people…it’s their way of being fat phobic when you’re telling someone they’re cheating.’

Back in January, I learned about Lizzo’s remarkable transformation. She managed to shed 16% of her body fat and decreased her body mass by a significant 10.5%. Truly inspiring!

Regarding her feelings post-weight loss, Lizzo articulated, “I feel as though I’ve put in a tremendous amount of effort, and every decision I made concerning my body was deliberate.

When someone gives me a compliment, I usually respond with, “Thank you.” However, I sometimes say, “Thanks, babe,” in a joking and friendly manner. I appreciate the compliments because they help boost my confidence, which I have worked hard to build. I don’t find it strange or awkward to receive compliments because I have consciously tried to accept them graciously.

Previously, the singer refuted claims suggesting she used Ozempic for weight loss, regarding her trimmed physique.

At that moment, she posted a brief video on Instagram, showing herself elegantly dressed in a vibrant satin robe and her hair tied loosely at the back.

The star included new text at the bottom that said, “After 5 months of weight training and calorie deficit, you may encounter ozempic accusations.

Afterward, Lizzo posted a snapshot of a remark from a social media user, who alleged that she was using Ozempic or cocaine.

The singer was showcasing items from her Yitty line in a video as well, and she captioned it, ‘Is it… THE PONYTAILS? Cotton Top by @yitty.’ (Or any other hairstyle that the braids are meant to represent)

In reply, the Grammy winner posted, “Why are you following me?” along with four weeping emoji faces. Later, Lizzo shared a screenshot of the Instagram user’s account that was now set to private.

Back in January, the singer happily shared that she successfully reached her target weight loss mark.

On Instagram at the time, she posted: “I accomplished it! Just now, when I weighed myself, I met my weight loss target.

2014 seems to be the last time I encountered that number! May it serve as a reminder that with determination, you can accomplish anything. Now is the perfect moment to set fresh objectives!

In the month of April, on the On Purpose with Jay Shetty podcast, Lizzo shared that she prefers using the phrase ‘weight release’ rather than ‘weight loss’.

She acknowledged her boyfriend, Myke Wright, by saying, “My partner is incredibly witty. It was him who initially pointed out that something seemed amiss. At first, I thought, ‘Wow, I’ve lost five pounds,’ but he jokingly asked, ‘Where did it go?’

‘I was mad at him, I was like, “Why would he say that?” but he was like, “Where did it go?”‘

The artist behind the popular song “Good As Hell” clarified that rather than risking loss, she aimed for victory, or in other words, she desired to gain more, not to give up anything.

Lizzo emphasized the importance of choosing her words carefully since many young individuals look up to her and absorb the energy she sends out.

‘They’re applying it to their own experience and their own life just like I did when I was a kid.’

Later, she openly discussed how the portrayal of weight gain and loss by the media influenced her brain’s chemical balance.

‘Be careful with your words because it can affect somebody in ways you don’t even know.’

The artist commented, ‘Releasing the burden had an impact on others, which I acknowledge as a significant responsibility. I aim to transform this into something that reassures people and alleviates their fear associated with it.’

In my fervent enthusiasm, I can’t help but share that during her latest chat on The Jason Lee Show, the phenomenal Lizzo opened up about the reason behind her secretive approach regarding the exact amount of weight she’s shed.

‘When I mention a number, it seems beyond most people’s mathematical abilities. I’ve noticed numerous TikTok videos that highlight Lizzo’s 500-pound weight loss. It feels a bit intrusive when numbers are being thrown at me like that – it gets on my nerves a bit.’

Additionally, on Thursday, she displayed her weight loss once more during her visit to the Dodgers game in Los Angeles.

The performer donned a snug, white capri trouser set along with a short-sleeved top featuring the word ‘Juneteenth’ embroidered prominently on its front.

She put on a pair of white pumps and let her long, platinum-blond hair cascade straight down past her shoulders.

Lizzo opted to add minimal accessories to the look and also sported a pair of silver shades. 

The musician known for “Good As Hell” walked casually onto the baseball field, ready to toss the opening pitch prior to the Dodgers facing off against the San Diego Padres.

Prior to demonstrating her pitching abilities, the singer was observed standing on the sidelines of Dodger Stadium’s baseball field.

Additionally, Lizzo was invited to play in the Celebrity Softball Match, which took place as part of the festivities for Black Heritage Night at the stadium.
