Lizzo (Image: AFP/Getty Images ) Lizzo ditched weight loss drug Ozempic and instead "worked really, really hard" to slim down. The 37-year-old pop star has been sharing updates from her weight loss journey and she has now revealed she briefly used the controversial medication to help her shift some pounds, but she gave up and focused on improving her diet instead. During an appearance on the Just Trish podcast, Lizzo explained: "I tried everything. Ozempic works because you eat less food, yeah? So if you eat right, it makes you feel full." She added of the medication: "It's not easy. It's a drug to help somebody with something they're struggling with. I think people ... it's their way of being fat phobic when you're telling someone they're cheating. "But if you can just do that on your own and get mind over matter, it's the same thing." Lizzo went on to reveal her biggest breakthrough came when she ditched her vegan diet. Article continues below She said: "What did it for me is, it was not being vegan. Because 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 3,000-5,000 calories a day ... "So for me, when I started actually eating whole foods and eating like beef, and chicken, and fish. Like, I was actually full and not expanding my stomach by putting a lot of fake things in there that wasn't actually filling me up." She added of making healthy changes: "I feel like I worked really really hard and it was intentional with what I did with my body. "So when I get compliments, I go: 'Thanks b****.' Like I really receive it because I need to receive that. I don't take it any weird way because I tried to do this.'" It comes after Lizzo admitted she previously used food to "distract" herself when she was battling anxiety issues, but she's managed to boost her mental health using meditation. In a video posted as a TikTok Live, she explained: "I've been working to get my anxiety under control for years. And then I decided that I want to release and I'm ready to stop waiting to be myself like fully and be happy. "And I meditated. I calmed myself down. And I isolated a little bit, but not like made myself lonely, not the way I used to when I was depressed. I isolated myself in a mindful way where I had no distractions. "I loved to distract myself with people. I loved to distract myself with food. I loved to distract myself with drinking. I loved to distract myself with problems that I would create. I would love to do that. And I stopped doing that. And I just focused on me." Article continues below In the video, Lizzo also spoke about her weight loss admitting she stopped drinking "two to three" large Starbucks drinks a day and swapped sugary treats for savoury snacks. She said: "I do something sweet. It's gotta be with some sort of like carb. I'll have like almond butter and toast. So, everybody's body is different. "Find out what works for you ... [I believe the only thing that] works across the board, science-wise, is calories in versus calories out. "That's just how the human body works."

Giannis Antetokounmpo's wife Mariah Riddlesprigger shuts down his newfound passion as the Greek Freak sought help from IShowSpeed and Kai Cenat
Giannis Antetokounmpo and Mariah Riddlesprigger. Image via:Money has a loud noise, and everyone seems to fall for it, even Milwaukee Bucks superstar Giannis Antetokounmpo. In a recent clip, having a chat with his wife Mariah Riddlesprigger, Antetokounmpo shared that he wants to stream and make loads of money. However, the idea was straightaway declined by his wife, who reminded him of existing responsibilities on his hands. Giannis Antetokounmpo's wife, Mariah Riddlesprigger does not want her husband to fall for streaming Milwaukee Bucks superstar Giannis Antetokounmpo may be one of the NBA 's most dominant forces on the court, but off the hardwood, he's considering an entirely different arena, live streaming. In a playful interaction with his wife, Mariah Riddlesprigger, Giannis opened up about his desire to step into the world of online content creation, sparking interest across social media and the streaming community. During a now-viral TikTok Live, Giannis turned to his fans and asked, 'Should I start streaming? IShowSpeed, Kai Cenat, help a brother out!' The questioncertainly showed his genuine curiosity about diving into the booming world of streaming. Giannis praised both Kai Cenat and IShowSpeed, calling them engaging and excellent at what they do. 'I've seen them how they're doing it, they're actually good at it. Engaging, they're very good!' he said. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Esse novo alarme com câmera é quase gratuito em Foz Do Iguaçu (consulte o preço) Alarmes Undo The two popular streamers, who have built massive audiences on Twitch and YouTube, were name-dropped repeatedly as Giannis contemplated following their lead. His interest appears to be more than a passing thought, it's part of a larger trend of elite athletes exploring ways to connect with fans beyond traditional sports media. However, not everyone in the Antetokounmpo household was sold on the idea. His wife, Mariah, quickly offered a practical perspective. When Giannis asked why he shouldn't pursue streaming, she immediately rejected the idea, 'Because we have four kids and a lot of other responsibilities.' The couple's humorous back-and-forth continued, as Giannis tried to justify the venture by pointing out the financial upside. 'Do you know how much money they make? They make a lot of money, baby.' Even though he already has a lucrative NBA contract— with $54 million set for the upcoming season and nearly $300 million earned in his career— Giannis seems intrigued by the challenge and creativity of streaming. He recently returned from a vacation in Brazil and appeared refreshed and reflective, perhaps setting the stage for new endeavors during what he called 'the greatest offseason of all time.' 'Basically, I'm having my own podcast without doing nothing,' Giannis joked. 'People are out here asking me questions.' His wife quipped in response, 'Which is what streamers do, right?'

Here's everything you need to know about Los Angeles Lakers' new owner Of course, at this point, it is not clear if Giannis would actually follow on the idea of being a streamer as part of his side hustle, but Mariah is skeptical as she fears that the Greek Freak will be left with very little time for his family amid his already busy NBA schedule. Game On Season 1 kicks off with Sakshi Malik's inspiring story. Watch Episode 1 here

As one of the boys approaches again, James tells him: "You can touch if you want. "I'll go on the TikTok Live and show everyone what you're doing." He then turns the camera to the group, who beat a hasty retreat once they realise they are being filmed. As they slink off, James asks the group: "Why are you hioding your faces? Do you want to touch my stuff again or what?" James' friend Brad then tips him off that one of the boys, wearing a jeans and a sleeveless pukka jacket that partially covers his face, is coming back. The intrepid busker goes to intercept the intruder - but it was only when reviewing the footage afterwards that he realised that the boy appeared to be reaching for what could be a knife.

"People think they can just absue buskers and we won't defend ourselves." The boy in the puffa jacket then aims a kick at James, who catches his foot and pulls him to the ground. He then goes back to the mic and tells shoppers: 'I'm just trying to make a living, man. Do you know what I mean?' West Yorkshire Police have been contacted for comment. James posted the video on his social media accounts with the question: 'Was I right to defend myself?" One Facebook user said: 'Sometimes gotta stand up to bullies.' Another added said: 'Nice jabs mate…be careful though those little scabs will be back with knives.' Meanwhile a commentator on TikTok said: "You know how embarrassing it is to try throw a kick but the guy grabs your leg and drops you."
