Lizzo has been in the spotlight lately for her dramatic and inspiring weight-loss journey. Well, for the singer, metaphorically, it is her ‘weight release’ as she did not have to ‘lose’ in the transformation. Fans have noticed her slimmed-down silhouette and vibrant energy. But amid the buzz, rumours swirled that she’d used weight-loss drugs like Ozempic to shed pounds. In a bold, unapologetic move, Lizzo shut down those rumours and shared what really helped her on this path to health. Her journey is rooted in intentional lifestyle changes, not medication, and she’s making that very clear to the world.
Lizzo Shuts Down the Rumours in a Bold Instagram Moment

In a daring Instagram video, Lizzo lip-synced to her new song IDGAS, decked out in leopard-print lingerie and bunny ears. With a wink and a defiant tone, she raps, “What you gonna say? I lost weight? Let me guess, is that Ozempic?” The message by the Grammy-winning singer was clear: she sees through the speculation and she doesn’t care. Her lyrics shut down the chatter in the most Lizzo way possible.
She rejected the use of any weight loss medication or injections after she lost about 16 per cent of her body weight by making changes in her lifestyle. Rather, Lizzo told her she has been regular in weight training and a calorie deficit for months. She made it very clear that it wasn’t about shortcuts, pills, but commitment to her health and wellness.

On the Just Trish podcast in June, Lizzo finally addressed the rumours head-on. She admitted she had tried GLP-1 medications like Ozempic, but quickly realised they weren’t the solution for her. “I tried everything,” she told the host. “Ozempic works because you eat less food. It makes you feel full. But if you can just do that on your own… It’s the same.” The singer called it a “weight release” journey, highlighting a slow and steady approach rather than crash dieting.
What really made the difference? Here is how she went from fat to fit.
- Lizzo trained five days a week and changed her diet to high-protein (non-vegan) food, and this strategy increased her energy and clarity of mind.
- She abandoned the vegan lifestyle of imitation meats that caused her to overconsume carbohydrates and calorie fillers.
- Instead, she began to consume whole foodstuffs such as beef, chicken, fish, and she was fuller with fewer calories.
- This change, combined with calorie consciousness (aka calories in versus calories out), has enabled her to reduce 16 per cent body fat and reduce her body mass index by approximately 10.5.
- It was stressed that her exercise was not related to being skinny but being strong and healthy in her body.
- Pilates is another activity that Lizzo used as a way of self-care and also to aid in healing and back pain.

Conclusion
The process of Lizzo's weight loss is more than the figures on the scale. Her weight-release experience is not a miracle pill or a secret remedy; it is one that relates to careful nourishment, regularity, and attitude. It is a whole body process of strength, mental health, and self-love that cannot be fixed in a short time. By silencing rumours about using medication and emphasising the need to work hard and change his/her lifestyle, she shows a great example to anyone who wants to live healthier in the long term.
