One of the biggest stories of the year has been the weight loss of singer Lizzo. The singer has been posting photos of her weight loss journey online, and many ask how she did did it. What is the secret of Lizzo’s weight loss?
Lizzo Body Positivity
Lizzo was the spokesperson for body positivity for a long time, so her recent weight loss was a shock to everyone. The singer has never been afraid or ashamed of her looks, despite being harassed online and talked about in the press for her weight.
But according to reports, recent health issues forced the singer to reevaluate the situation, and she decided to do something about it.
Two years ago, on a TikTok video, she talked about her weight loss journey.
“Once I started working out for mental health, to have balanced mental health or endorphins, so that I don’t look at myself in the mirror and feel ashamed of myself, and feel disgusted with myself, exercise has helped me shift my mind, not my body,” she said. “My body is gonna change, everyone’s bodies change. That’s life.”
Two years later, she was giving fans an update on her journey.
She admitted that some people think that when someone loses weight, they do it just to lose weight. In her case, she says it’s more to it than that.
“I think a lot of people see a fat person that way and immediately just assume everything they’re doing is to be thin,” the singer said in another TikTok video back in January. “I don’t ever want to be thin. Will my body fluctuate from this size? Will I get a little smaller depending on some of the choices I make or a little bigger, depending on some of the choices I make in my life? Yes, I’m used to fluctuating.”

The Key to Lizzo Weight Loss Success
As Lizzo continued her weight loss journey, some speculated that she used weight loss drugs, which she has denied.
According to her, the key to her weight loss has been dieting and exercise, as she said in a New York Times interview last year.
“My body has been changing very slowly, but I don’t think people were paying attention,” the singer said during her podcast interview with Shetty. “I would show different things like … my workouts or I’d show, like, what I eat in a day… But I think we got to remember, everybody not seeing your s— all the time.”
She added, “Everybody’s not privy to what you’re going through. They’re not with you every day. So when I pop out on a red carpet or when a video suddenly goes viral and my body is different, it appears like it was overnight. It appears sudden.”

Although she didn’t reveal how much weight she had lost, she said that after all this hard work, she finally reached her weight loss goals.
She did say, however, she hadn’t been this weight in 11 years and that she lost 16 percent of her body fat.
She’s been showing off her new look online and seems more proud and happy than ever and that is the important thing.
