Overview

  • On the June 19 episode of Trisha Paytas’ Just Trish podcast, Lizzo acknowledged experimenting with Ozempic and other GLP-1 medications early in her weight loss journey.
  • She explained that these drugs work by suppressing appetite but said mastering a calorie deficit delivers comparable results without injections.
  • After discarding her vegan diet, Lizzo began eating whole foods and lean meats, reducing her daily calorie intake even as she felt more satisfied.
  • She achieved a 16 percent reduction in body fat and dropped her BMI by 10.5 points since January 2023, goals she reached in January before setting new milestones.
  • Lizzo urged respect for varied weight loss methods, describing criticism of medication-assisted approaches as fatphobic and stressing that every body responds differently.
