Lizzo is sharing the secrets to her weight loss journey.
The “About Damn Time” singer, 36, gave fans an insight into her eating and exercise habits during a TikTok Live on Tuesday, April 22.
Lizzo disclosed that she used to consume “two to three” large Starbucks drinks per day, estimating an intake of approximately 1,2000 calories daily. It was after realizing the high calorie content that she decided to stop her daily Starbucks habit. She also mentioned that giving up coffee had a positive impact on “regulating my nervous system,” as per People.
As for her daily diet, Lizzo said she starts her day with something “super savory,” foregoing “sugary stuff.”
“I do something sweet. It’s gotta be with some sort of like carb. I’ll have like almond butter and toast,” she said.
She emphasized the importance of individual differences in bodies and finding what works best for oneself. Lizzo stressed the significance of considering “calories in versus calories out” when making dietary choices.
“That’s just how the human body works,” she said.
In a video shared via TikTok on Tuesday, Lizzo showed off one of her healthy meals: bison meatballs with rice, peas and cabbage.
In January, Lizzo celebrated hitting her goal weight, two years after she began an “intentional” journey to transform her body.
“I did it,” the Grammy winner wrote via Instagram. “Today when I stepped on my scale, I reached my weight release goal.”
She added, “I haven’t seen this number since 2014! Let this be a reminder you can do anything you put your mind to. Time for new goals!”
In a follow-up post, Lizzo revealed that she had dropped 16% body fat and lowered her body mass index by 10.5 since January 16, 2023.
In a separate Instagram Story video, she mentioned, “I am currently on a deliberate weight loss journey. Even after achieving my weight loss goals, I won’t be perceived as thin. According to the BMI scale, I will still be categorized as morbidly obese, and internet trolls will likely continue to criticize me. However, my main focus is on my happiness and well-being.”
Lizzo added in a singsong, “Told y’all I was gonna bump like this. Y’all didn’t know I could bump like this. Let this be a reminder that you can do anything that you set your mind to. Now, I guess it’s time to set new goals.”
