Lizzo turned heads this weekend with a sultry poolside moment that paid tribute to an iconic pop culture image.
The singer posed in a fire-red one-piece swimsuit reminiscent of Pamela Anderson’s legendary Baywatch look—but it wasn’t just about fashion.
It was also the latest glimpse into her dramatic body transformation and the candid conversation she’s now leading about her weight loss journey.
Striking a Pose in Red by the Pool
On Saturday, Lizzo dropped a bold new video on Instagram.
Clad in a sleek red one-piece from her own Yitty brand, she lounged poolside, running her hands along her noticeably more sculpted frame.
Her platinum-blonde beach waves and a glittering diamond Yitty chain added glam to the already sizzling scene.
She teased her fans with a playful caption: “Put some @yitty on yo ______!” leaving it open for them to fill in the blank.
But beneath the glam and the cheeky caption was a story fans have been following closely—her weight loss, and the rumors that surrounded it.
Lizzo Finally Confirms Ozempic Use
After months—some might say years—of fan speculation, Lizzo has finally admitted what many suspected: she did try Ozempic.
Appearing on Trisha Paytas’ podcast Just Trish in June, the 37-year-old star came clean about trying the popular weight loss medication at the start of her health journey.
“I tried everything,” she confessed, explaining how GLP-1 drugs like Ozempic helped her feel full and control her portions.
But she emphasized that mindset is just as powerful: “If you can get mind over matter, it’s the same thing.”
From Body Positivity Icon to Backlash
The confession, however, wasn’t welcomed by all.
Lizzo has long been a champion of body positivity, and some fans felt betrayed after she previously denied using weight loss drugs—insisting instead that her transformation was due to weightlifting and a disciplined diet.
In fact, back in September 2024, she had shut down Ozempic rumors and pointed to lifestyle changes as the key to her progress.
She even opened up about her decision to stop being vegan, saying that a return to animal protein helped her avoid the “fake meats” and sugar substitutes that were part of her previous routine.
Defending Her Decision and Changing the Narrative
Addressing the backlash, Lizzo made it clear: taking Ozempic wasn’t about cheating.
It was about getting help for something she had struggled with for years.
“It’s not easy,” she said. “People call it cheating, but really that’s just fatphobia.
If someone needs help and finds a tool that works, why shame them for it?”
Her openness aims to shift the conversation from judgment to compassion—and she’s not holding back.
The New Diet and Daily Routine That’s Keeping Her On Track
In a recent chat with Women’s Health, Lizzo peeled back the curtain on her current health routine.
Her eating habits now follow a high-protein, low-carb approach, and she’s all about balance.
Breakfast? Two scrambled eggs, chicken sausage, and a cauliflower hash brown.
Lunch? Thai chicken salad or tuna lettuce wraps.
Dinner? A cozy plate of turkey meatloaf, cauliflower mash, and green beans—always finished before 5 p.m. due to her GERD, a digestive condition she manages by not eating too close to bedtime.
When it comes to snacks, Lizzo keeps things simple and satisfying: low-sugar Greek yogurt with berries and a drizzle of honey.
And those multiple daily Frappuccinos? They’ve been swapped out for coffee with a scoop of vanilla protein powder.
Still Room for Treats and Waffles
Even with her new routine, Lizzo isn’t depriving herself.
She’s kept a few favorite treats in the rotation—chicken and waffles, crab legs, and the occasional coconut-cream donut still make an appearance.
For her, it’s all about sustainability. “There’s a balance,” she said. “That’s what true health is.”
Fitness First with a Trainer by Her Side
Supporting her transformation is a structured fitness plan, personalized by a trainer who keeps her active and motivated.
While the singer hasn’t shared exactly how much weight she’s lost, the visual results—and her energy—speak volumes.
Embracing Evolution, Not Perfection
Lizzo’s journey is no longer about fitting anyone else’s mold.
Whether she’s modeling swimsuits or owning her use of weight loss tools, she’s rewriting the narrative around health, honesty, and body image.
And while some fans may still be adjusting to the new chapter, Lizzo is clearly focused on being real, being herself, and looking fabulous doing it.
