Lizzo is opening up about her health journey and sharing the real reason behind her transformation.
On Thursday, July 3, the 37-year-old singer thanked spa owner Flávia Lanini on Instagram for playing a role in helping her achieve her health goals naturally. Her post included a before-and-after photo comparison, showing the changes in her body between her first lymphatic massage and the most recent one.
Lymphatic massage, according to the Cleveland Clinic, can reduce swelling and help move waste through the lymphatic system to eliminate toxins. It is also commonly used for body contouring and weight loss. Lizzo’s photos, where she wore minimal clothing, made the transformation clearly visible.
Responding to ongoing speculation about her using weight-loss medications, Lizzo addressed the rumors head-on. “In light of all these magazines and blogs wanting me to be on Ozempic so bad, here’s the truth,” she wrote.
The Grammy-winning artist explained that her transformation is the result of consistent work. “I work my ass off, training three times a week, daily sauna and cardio, adding animal protein back into my diet, hiring a chef who meal preps and monitors my calorie intake,” she said.
She also mentioned giving up sugary Starbucks drinks, full-fat sodas, and potato chips. While she had previously cut out alcohol, Lizzo said she now drinks occasionally, adding, “I’m drinking again because I earned it.”
To stay active beyond the gym, she incorporates hiking, beach walks, pickleball, and dancing into her routine. She also emphasized hydration and added that she detoxes once a month. Her wellness regimen includes wood therapy, holistic body work, and lymphatic massage.
“I’m so happy and proud of what I’ve done, and no one can take that away from me,” Lizzo wrote. Her post also included selfies with Lanini and a shot of her wrapped in a sauna for an intense sweat session.
In Women’s Health magazine, where Lizzo appears on the cover, she shared her daily meal plan. Breakfast includes two scrambled eggs, chicken sausage, and a cauliflower hash brown. Lunch is typically a Thai chicken salad or lettuce wraps with tuna or sliced chicken. Dinner, served before 5 p.m., is usually turkey meatloaf with cauliflower mashed potatoes and green beans.
She explained that she eats early due to GERD, a digestive condition that requires time before sleep to avoid discomfort. Her snacks include Greek yogurt with fruit and honey.
On fitness, Lizzo shared, “I’ve never regretted a workout. I always feel better after. I work out for mental health first. Exercise is the best mood enhancer.”
