Prior to the weight loss, she helped kick-start her health journey by going two months with no alcohol.
In June last year, she said: “I’ve tried everything. It’s just the science for me – calories in, calories out. Ozempic works because you eat less food.
“That’s it. It makes you feel full, so if you can just do that on your own and get mind over matter, it’s the same s**t.”
Lizzo explained how she ditched her vegetarian diet, realising it was causing her to eat in excess of 3,000 calories, after visiting Japan.
Lizzo began her weight loss journey at the end of 2023 when she was “severely depressed”.
She previously admitted she would order hundreds of dollars of food delivery and eat everything until her stomach ‘felt like it would explode’.

In 2025, Lizzo noted that she had ‘quit drinking for the longest’ but reincorporated it into her lifestyle because she’d ‘earned it’.
Last November, she wrote in an essay on Substack: “So here we are halfway through the decade, where extended sizes are being magically erased from websites.
“Plus sized models are no longer getting booked for modeling gigs. And all of our big girls are not-so big anymore.”
She said: “We’re in an era where the bigger girls are getting smaller because they’re tired of being judged.
“And now those bigger girls are being judged for getting smaller by the very community they used to empower.
“There’s nothing wrong with living in a bigger body. There’s nothing wrong with being fat.
“But if a woman wants to change, she should be allowed to change.”
