Lizzo Opens Up About Ozempic Use and Weight Loss Journey

Lizzo has revealed she briefly used Ozempic in 2023 to jumpstart her weight loss but stopped, believing long-term success required sustainable lifestyle changes. During an appearance on Trisha Paytas’ Just Trish podcast, the Grammy winner admitted the medication helped curb her appetite but emphasized, “If you can get mind over matter, it’s the same thing.” She opted instead for mindful eating and whole foods.

The singer, who proudly showcased her slimmer figure on social media, explained her shift from a vegan diet—which included processed meat substitutes and high-calorie carbs—to incorporating lean proteins like chicken, fish, and beef. “I was consuming 3,000-5,000 calories a day as a vegan,” she said. Whole foods left her “actually full,” reducing overeating. [Image: Lizzo in Sydney]

While Lizzo discontinued Ozempic early, she defended others using it: “It’s a drug to help somebody struggling. Calling it ‘cheating’ is fat-phobic.” She stressed that weight loss isn’t easy and criticized societal judgment. [Image: Lizzo in NYC]

Earlier this year, Lizzo announced losing 16% body fat and 10.5 body mass through diet and exercise. She rejected past Ozempic rumors, crediting “weight training and calorie deficit” in a 2023 Instagram post. Now, she reframes her journey as “weight release,” inspired by her boyfriend’s question, “Where did it go?” The term, she told Jay Shetty, promotes positivity: “I want to win, not lose.” [Image: Lizzo’s progress post]

Lizzo also addressed public scrutiny: “If I reveal numbers, people exaggerate. I’ve seen claims I lost 500lbs—it’s frustrating.” She urges mindful language to protect fans’ self-image. [Image: Lizzo on red carpet]

Recently, she flaunted her transformation at a Dodgers game, throwing the first pitch in a Juneteenth-themed crop top and white capris. The event celebrated Black Heritage Night, where she also participated in a celebrity softball game. [Images: Lizzo at Dodgers Stadium]

Through her journey, Lizzo balances transparency with empowerment, advocating for health without shame. “Release the weight,” she says, “and make people feel comfortable, not afraid.” [Image: Lizzo smiling on field]
