“Lizzo stripped down to her underwear to show off her incredible weight loss transformation in a new video posted to Instagram on Monday. ”, — write: www.dailymail.co.uk
The American singer, 37, whose real name is Melissa Viviane Jefferson, showcased her new figure in a black underwear set from her intimates and shapewear brand YITTY.
Posing confidently in her bathroom mirror, the Pink hitmaker flaunted her slimmed-down waist in the flattering two-piece, consisting of a scoop-neck bra and high-rise cheeky bottoms.
Promoting her brand’s Stretchy Fit collection, Lizzo captioned the post: ‘Body yitTEA ☕️ Have you tried Stretchy Fit? Go to @yitty right now! You won’t regret it (kiss emoji).’
Lizzo, who revealed in January she reduced her body mass by 10.5 and lost 16 per cent of her body fat, previously credited her dramatic slim down to hard work and discipline.
However, she admitted earlier this year that she tried Ozempic and other GLP-1 drugs to help her on her journey.
Speaking on the Just Trish podcast, she said: ‘I tried everything. Ozempic works because you eat less food, yeah? So if you eat right, it makes you feel full.’
Lizzo then added, ‘But if you can just do that on your own and get mind over matter, it’s the same thing.’
When it came to the star achieving her weight loss goal, the performer explained that her change in diet was the major factor.
Lizzo had been following a plant-based diet for many years – including only consuming vegan foods from 2020 through 2023.
‘What did it for me is, it was not being vegan,’ she told Trisha. ‘Because when I was vegan, I was consuming a lot of fake meats.
‘I was eating a lot of bread, I was eating a lot of rice, and I had to eat a lot of it to stay full. But really, I was consuming 3,000-5,000 calories a day.’
The songstress also spoke about how some food products – even if they are small in size – can be packed with ‘fake sugar’ that can leave you still feeling hungry.
‘So for me, when I started actually eating whole foods, and eating like beef, chicken, and fish. Like, I was actually full and not expanding my stomach by putting a lot of fake things in there that wasn’t actually filling me up.’
While the star chose to stop taking Ozempic early on, she stated that she didn’t see it as ‘cheating’ for those who have taken the medication to help with losing weight.
‘It’s not easy. It’s a drug to help somebody with something they’re struggling with,’ the performer expressed.
‘I think people…it’s their way of being fat phobic when you’re telling someone they’re cheating.’
Last year, the singer shut down allegations that she was taking Ozempic in order to achieve her slimmer figure.
At the time, she shared a short Instagram reel as she posed wearing a colourful, satin robe while her hair was pulled back into a low updo.
The star added text towards the bottom, which read: ‘When you finally get Ozempic allegations after 5 months of weight training and calorie deficit.’
Lizzo then shared a screenshot of a comment from a social media user where they accused her of taking Ozempic or ‘coke.’
The songstress had also been promoting pieces from her Yitty brand in a clip and wrote, ‘What’s is it… THE BRAIDS?! Cotton Bodysuit by @yitty.’
The troll had typed in the comment section, ‘Did she use Ozempic or did she snort coke.’
