Lizzo recently revealed that she gave Ozempic a shot during her “weight release journey,” but ultimately decided it wasn’t for her.
The Grammy-winning star, who was parodied in a South Park episode centered on the medication, opened up during her appearance on the Just Trish podcast.
Around the 13-minute mark, Lizzo told host Trish Paytas, “I’ve tried everything,” and emphasized that, for her, it all comes down to “calories in versus calories out.”
“Ozempic works because you eat less food,” she explained. “It makes you feel full. So if you can just do that on your own and get mind over matter, it’s the same shit.”
Lizzo, the voice behind “Love In Real Life,” also mentioned that part of feeling full faster now comes from no longer following a vegan diet, admitting she was eating a lot of processed plant-based alternatives.
“I was consuming a lot of fake meats,” she said. “I was eating a lot of bread, a lot of rice, and I had to eat a lot of it to feel full. But really, I was taking in like 3,000 to 5,000 calories a day.”
Over the past year, Lizzo has been open about her fitness journey on TikTok, though she’s made it clear she won’t be revealing any numbers on the scale.
“I’ve seen a lot of TikToks like, ‘Lizzo talks about her 500-pound weight loss,’” she said during an appearance on Hollywood Unlocked earlier this month. “And I’m like, ‘Yo, why are y’all putting numbers on me?’”
