Lizzo Admits Brief Ozempic Use Amid Weight Loss Journey

Pop star Lizzo has openly discussed her weight loss journey, confirming that she briefly tried the weight loss drug Ozempic but ultimately found success through dietary and lifestyle changes rather than medication. On Trisha Paytas’ "Just Trish" podcast, Lizzo explained that Ozempic works by reducing appetite, but she believes achieving fullness through mindful eating and diet adjustments is equally effective. A major turning point for her was reintroducing animal proteins such as beef, chicken, and fish into her diet after years of veganism, which she said helped her feel fuller and more satisfied compared to consuming processed vegan substitutes. Lizzo emphasized that her transformation was not about shortcuts, highlighting a 16% reduction in body fat achieved through self-care and a dedicated gym routine. While she acknowledged trying Ozempic, she rejected the notion that using such medication is "cheating" and stressed the importance of individual approaches to weight loss. Fans have praised Lizzo’s candidness and empowerment in sharing her experience with weight, diet, and body positivity.
