Slimmed-down songbird Lizzo has lost more than 60 pounds, thanks to diet, exercise and skipping the cocktails.
Breaking Celebrity News can reveal that the About Damn Time singer, 38, hasn't touched booze for over two months, she recently revealed in an Instagram story.
Booze Break and Weight Truth
Lizzo said she lost over 60 pounds through diet, exercise and cutting alcohol, including two months of sobriety.
She posted a meme that showed a spooky face with the caption: "When hg [homegirls] think getting me drunk will be fun but I genuinely give off this vibe when drunk."
Under the clip, she added: "2 months no alcohol."
Initially, Lizzo denied taking Ozempic or one of the other GLP-1 drugs, then confessed she had briefly tried it.
But she insisted she's shed pounds thanks to a science-based, "calories-in-versus-calories-out" approach, combining healthy eating and a rigorous exercise routine.
A vegan for many years, she admitted she used to eat too much soy, bread, and meat and cheese substitutes that left her feeling lightheaded and undernourished.
Protein Plan Powers Slimdown Success
The 'About Damn Time' singer credited a calorie-based approach and diet changes for her weight loss.
To help her on her weight-loss journey, she hired a chef who preps healthy meals, focusing mainly on protein, including animal foods, and vegetables.
She'll enjoy eggs and cauliflower hash browns for breakfast, then for lunch, it's lettuce wraps with tuna and turkey meatloaf with green beans for dinner.
Meanwhile, she eliminated high-carb foods like "sugary Starbucks full-fat sodas & potato chips."
But she doesn't deny herself completely. "If I do something sweet, it's gotta be with some sort of carb. I'll have, like, almond butter and toast," the hitmaker added.
That way, she avoids the blood-sugar spikes and dips that trigger fatigue and hunger rebounds.
