No Filter, No Ozempic: Lizzo Reveals Real Secret Behind 16% Body Fat Loss

'I'm so happy and proud of what I've done—and no one can take that away from me.'

That was Lizzo's triumphant declaration on Instagram yesterday, as the Grammy-winning singer showed off her dramatic body transformation in a pair of before-and-after photos that left little to the imagination. Stripping down to her underwear, Lizzo bared not just her skin, but the truth behind her 16% body fat reduction—no injections, no shortcuts, just sheer commitment to health and self-love.

'Truth Hurts' But Discipline Works

With speculation swirling online that the singer might have turned to weight-loss drugs like Ozempic, Lizzo came out swinging. In her caption, she made it crystal clear: her transformation was achieved through a natural, holistic approach. One of her biggest secrets? Lymphatic massages.

The singer credited spa owner Flávia Lanini with helping her stay on course, praising the technique for reducing inflammation and supporting detox. Lymphatic drainage, along with wood therapy, a practice involving wooden tools to reduce cellulite and improve circulation, became part of her self-care ritual.

And that's just the start.

Sweat, Saunas, and Sizzling Results

Lizzo laid out the full regimen behind her new physique, revealing she trains three times a week, includes daily cardio and sauna sessions, and has added animal protein back into her diet after previously being vegan. She also hired a private chef to help with meal prep and calorie tracking.

Gone are the sugary Starbucks drinks, full-fat sodas, and the bags of potato chips. Instead, Lizzo leans into a disciplined but nourishing eating routine.

'I was consuming up to 5,000 calories a day on a vegan diet,' she admitted, explaining her shift toward a more protein-balanced plan. And it's paying off - not just physically, but mentally, too.

Hitting Her Goal, But Staying Grounded

The 'Juice' hitmaker reached her goal weight in January 2025, but that wasn't the final destination. Since then, she's been candid about the journey that followed: One filled with monthly detoxes, long beach walks, pickleball matches, hiking, and what she calls 'holistic body work.'

But as much as her fans have cheered her on, Lizzo says the most grounding voice in her life has been her boyfriend, Myke Wright, who's been by her side since 2021.

'When I first said, "Oh my gosh, I lost five pounds," he asked, "Where did it go?"' Lizzo recalled with a laugh during an episode of On Purpose with Jay Shetty. Initially annoyed, she later understood the deeper message: 'I don't want to lose anything. I want to win.'

Owning the Narrative

Now 36, Lizzo is as defiant as ever when it comes to controlling her own story. Her latest mixtape, My Face Hurts From Smiling, dropped the same day as her Instagram reveal, marking a new chapter not just in her music—but in her life.

She may be slimmer, but make no mistake: Lizzo's still larger than life.
