Overview

  • On the Just Trish podcast Lizzo admitted she briefly experimented with Ozempic and other GLP-1 medications early in her weight loss journey.
  • She said she ultimately stopped using the drugs to focus on a mind-over-matter approach centered on controlling her calorie intake.
  • The singer credited ending a decade as a vegan and adding whole foods like beef, chicken and fish for helping her feel full on fewer calories.
  • Since January 2023 Lizzo has lost 16% of her body fat and lowered her BMI by 10.5 points, partly to relieve chronic back pain and prepare for future stadium shows.
  • Lizzo defended GLP-1 therapies as valid medical support, while acknowledging fan backlash over her initial denials of using weight loss drugs.
