Not all rumors about Lizzo’s weight loss are true.
The “Truth Hurts” singer addressed speculation about her fitness journey, sharing that she actually gained 20 pounds in the last year after reaching her goal weight in January 2025.
“There are a lot of reasons,” she said in an interview with the Guardian published on July 11, regarding rumors that she initially lost 60 pounds due to depression. “People always want it to be a single headline, a single thing. Many things can be true at once.”
“I was at a point where my weight was causing me joint aches and pains,” she continued. “I also got to the point where I went off the internet, and all I had was my studio and my thoughts. So I poured myself into the things I could control: my body, my lifestyle, my routines and habits.”
In fact, Lizzo revealed that she stopped being vegan midway through her health journey in 2024, changing her diet to mostly protein and vegetables to lose weight. But all is not over.
“I’ve gained 20 pounds since last year,” the 38-year-old added. “So, if you’d like, you can all ask me about the weight gain.”
