Lizzo, a popular American singer and rapper shocked the world in January 2025 when she revealed that she had been on a weight loss journey and had finally achieved her target weight.
Ever since she began her journey in January 2024, she has managed to reduce her body mass index (BMI) by 10.5 and lost 16% of her body fat.
While the 37-year-old singer has been very public with her body transformation over the months, sharing her diet and exercise routine on social media, she has finally revealed facts on her weight loss journey in detail.
The pop star, whose real name is Melissa Viviane Jefferson was the guest in a recent episode of Trisha Paytas' "Just Trish" podcast, where she dished all the details.
Did Lizzo take Ozempic?

After denying the use of any kind of medication to lose weight, the singer finally admitted to trying Ozempic and other trending weight loss drugs to shed weight. "It's not easy," she said in a conversation about Ozempic on the podcast. She added that she had "tried everything" to lose weight but in the end, she ended up focusing on counting calories instead of taking a weekly jab.
'It's just the science for me, calories in versus calories out,' added the singer.

'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.'

When asked by Paytas about how she was able to control her food intake without a shot controlling the urges, the singer credited two things.
She opened up that she had made changes to her workout and had stopped being vegan or eating plant-based food, after "like 10 years"
'When I was vegan, I was consuming a lot of fake meats, I was eating a lot of bread, I was eating a lot of rice, and I had to eat a lot of it to stay full, but really I was consuming like 3,000 – 5,000 calories a day,' shared the singer.
Now, Lizzo has switched to whole foods such as beef, chicken and fish to feel full instead of eating things that weren't actually filling.
She shared how she added meat back into her diet during a trip to Japan, 'I heard the Japanese diet was the healthiest diet in the world,' she said. 'My body was so happy. My body was like, 'more, more please.' And I was like, 'ok, this is what my body likes.'
However, she also added that she doesn't like telling people much about releasing weight as she doesn't want them to imitate it and find out that it doesn't work for them. "Everybody's body is different," said the popular rapper who has promoted body positivity throughout her career.

Rob Gronkowski shocks fans with unexpected hockey skills at Fanatics Fest NYC

The four-time Super Bowl champion showed off his surprising hockey skills at Fanatics Fest NYC on Friday, trading his football cleats for a hockey stick in front of a packed crowd. Known for his larger-than-life personality and raw athleticism, Gronkowski gave fans something new to cheer for as he stepped up for the NHL washer-dryer shooting challenge—famously inspired by Sidney Crosby's childhood drills.

Armed with 10 pucks and his signature grin, Gronkowski hit the top target twice and nailed the lower one five times.
