Lizzo Boldly Flaunts Her Extreme Weight Loss As She Declares It's 'Back Fat Summer' In A Backless Gown
The singer has opened up about her evolving relationship with food and how switching to a protein-rich diet after struggling with stomach issues and low energy aided her weight loss journey.
Lizzo also admitted that she once tried using Ozempic, but ditched it in favour of losing weight the hard way by exercising and dieting.
Lizzo Stuns In Metallic Gown During Paris Getaway, Declares: 'Issa Back Fat Summer'
Lizzo turned heads with sultry new photos on Instagram showing off her curves in a body-hugging metallic gown during her Parisian escape.
The 37-year-old music sensation stunned in the figure-flattering champagne dress as she posed confidently on a rooftop with the Eiffel Tower in the background.
Facing away from the camera, the "About Damn Time" hitmaker proudly flaunted her back rolls in one shot, before revealing the front side of her glittering outfit in the other snaps.
The singer captioned the carousel in her usual bold style: "Issa back fat summer."
Fans Commend Lizzo For Flaunting A 'Real' Body Amid Her Weight Loss
Fans of the singer flooded her comment section with posts praising her for her bold photos and her inspiring weight loss journey.
One person joked, "Is that an Eiffel tower in the background or is France just happy to see you?"
Another commented, "You are gorgeous and you always have been and you always will be. Your weight is irrelevant. Your attitude and your voice are what set you apart from everyone else."
Lizzo has been soaking up the Parisian summer, having posted earlier snaps in the same spot wearing a skimpy cream crop top and matching shorts, striking carefree poses with the City of Light as her backdrop.
The Paris getaway follows Lizzo's recent revelation about her "complicated relationship" with food and the journey behind her noticeable weight loss transformation.
In a candid video shared earlier this month, the Grammy-winning artist offered fans a glimpse into her new lifestyle and eating habits.
Lizzo Gets Real About Her Complicated Relationship With Food And How A Japanese Diet Changed Everything
Speaking to Women's Health Magazine for their "Fuel Like" series, Lizzo admitted that her connection with food has been anything but simple.
"My relationship with eating has evolved so much," she shared. "We've had highs and we've had lows. Like it's a very complicated relationship. Um, there have been times when I have undernourished myself. There have been times when I was binging. I feel like right now in my life, when I intuitively eat and listen to my body, that always works out for me."
The singer went on to explain that a period of persistent stomach issues and low energy led her to reintroduce animal protein into her diet.
"I had a period where I was experiencing a lot of like stomach pain and stomach issues," the singer revealed. "So my trainer at the time, he noticed my diet, and he was like, you know, I highly suggest a Japanese diet."
Lizzo continued: "When I had the opportunity to go to Japan for the first time, I was like, 'All right, let's put our toe in the water with a country whose food I know is very, very clean.' And I started eating animal proteins over there. And I felt incredible."
The Singer Reveals Her Daily Diet And Health Routine Behind Weight Loss Transformation
During the interview, Lizzo also opened up about the lifestyle changes that led to her transformation. Her daily meals now center around lean proteins and vegetables.
For breakfast, she keeps things simple and protein-packed with two scrambled eggs, chicken sausage, and a cauliflower-based hash brown.
For lunch, Lizzo alternates between three staple meals: a shredded Thai chicken salad, tuna lettuce wraps, or sliced chicken breast.
Dinner, however, is where she sticks to routine. Her go-to evening meal includes turkey meatloaf, cauliflower, mashed potatoes, and green beans. She also eats dinner early, usually before 5 p.m., for a specific reason.
"I have GERD [gastroesophageal reflux disease], so my body needs time to digest food before I go to sleep, so acid doesn't roll up to my throat," she explained.
Lizzo Opens Up About Ozempic Use And Weight Loss Journey: 'It's Not Cheating'
Back in June, Lizzo got candid about her brief experience with Ozempic, revealing that she began using the GLP-1 medication at the start of her weight loss journey in 2023.
While the drug initially helped curb her appetite, she soon realized it wasn't a long-term solution that aligned with her personal goals.
"I tried everything," she said, per The Blast. "Ozempic works because you eat less food, yeah? So if you eat right, it makes you feel full. But if you can just do that on your own and get mind over matter, it's the same thing."
Although she chose to stop taking the medication early on, the "Truth Hurts" singer made it clear that she doesn't judge others who use it as a tool for weight management.
"It's not easy," Lizzo stated. "It's a drug to help somebody with something they're struggling with."

Netflix's New Releases Coming in August 2025
An Oxford-set college rom-com from the guy behind The Inbetweeners; the return of one of Netflix's biggest ever shows; Genndy Tartakovsky's latest adult animated project; Vanessa Kirby's return to more intimate dramas about the human condition; a documentary that promised to shed new light on the Jussie Smollett hate crime incident; and a murder mystery film featuring several British and Irish acting icons are some of the highlights among the new films and series hitting Netflix in August. Kicking off August is the rom-com My Oxford Year, which focuses on the tried and trusted formula of a young American girl heading to stuffy old Europe and finding love with some impossibly handsome and terribly charming guy, so it's almost guaranteed to find a huge audience. In this instance, Sofia Carson plays Anna, an ambitious American student at Oxford University whose life is changed when she meets impossibly handsome and terribly charming local Jamie played by Corey Mylchreest. The film is directed by Iain Morris (yes, the same guy who co-created and co-wrote The Inbetweeners) and is written by Allison Burnett and Melissa Osborne, based on the novel by the same name by Julia Whelan. The cast also includes Dougray Scott, Catherine McCormack, Harry Trevaldwyn, and Hugh Coles. My Oxford Year debuts on Aug. 1. More from The Hollywood Reporter Arnold Schwarzenegger's 'FUBAR' Canceled at Netflix After Two Seasons British Tough Guy Ray Winstone to Receive Sarajevo Festival Award Former Netflix Executive Alleges Gender Bias and Sexual Harassment in Lawsuit Netflix's big launch this month is season two of the monster hit Wednesday, which premieres Part 1 on Aug. 6. Wednesday season one is amongst Netflix's most watched shows ever, and the streamer has already confirmed a third season and plans for spinoffs. The sophomore outing for the show sees Jenna Ortega's kooky Wednesday Addams return for another year at the dark, mysterious and very Gothic Nevermore Academy. The creative team that made season one of Wednesday such a huge hit are all back, including creators/showrunners Alfred Gough and Miles Millar and of course EP and director Tim Burton who gave the show his unmistakable look and feel. New cast additions include Steve Buscemi, Joanna Lumley and Billie Piper and returning castmembers include Emma Myers, Fred Arminsen Catherine Zeta-Jones, Luiz Guzman and Isaac Ordonez. Genndy Tartakovsky is one of the biggest names in animation, and the man behind Dexter's Laboratory, Samurai Jack, Star Wars: Clone Wars and Hotel Transylvania has a new animated feature launching on Netflix on Aug. 13. Produced by Sony Pictures Animation, Fixed sees Tartakovsky in full adult comedy mode, the logline reads, '[the film is about] Bull, an average, all-around good dog who discovers he's going to be neutered in the morning! As the gravity of this life-altering event sets in, Bull realizes he needs one last adventure with his pack of best friends as these are the last 24 hours with his balls!' The stellar voice cast includes Adam DeVine, Idris Elba, Kathryn Hahn, Fred Armisen, Beck Bennett, and Bobby Moynihan. The Invisible Woman will be very visible on Netflix in August, with Vanessa Kirby debuting her new film Night Always Comes on Aug. 15. The Oscar-nominated British actress is on a career hot streak at the moment, starring in big budget spectacles like The Fantastic Four: First Steps, Napoleon and Mission: Impossible — Dead Reckoning as well as critically acclaimed dramas such as Pieces of a Woman, and her latest, which she also produced, is more in the vain of the latter film that scored Kirby an Academy Award nomination. Directed by Benjamin Caron, Night Always Comes is a gritty crime thriller about a desperate woman (Kirby), who over the course of a night risks everything in order to secure her home and her future. The feature is an adaptation of Willy Vlautin's 2021 novel and is written by Sarah Conradt. The cast also includes Jennifer Jason Leigh, Zack Gottsagen, Stephen James, Randall Park, Julia Fox, Michael Kelly, and Eli Roth. On Aug. 22, Netflix launches the sure-to-be-controversial and discourse-breaking The Truth About Jussie Smollett? The documentary film purports to tell 'a shocking true story of an allegedly fake story that some now say might just be a true story,' casting new light on the absolutely wild incident that involved Empire actor Jussie Smollett who in January 2019 claimed to have been victim of a viscious hate crime. The doc features interviews with police, lawyers, journalists, investigators and with Smollett. The Truth About Jussie Smollett? comes from RAW, the producers behind the viral docs Don't F**k with Cats and Tinder Swindler. Another big movie release for Netflix this month is The Thursday Murder Club, a feature based on the 2020 murder mystery novel by Richard Osman. The film, directed by Chris Columbus, features an all-star cast of British and Irish acting legends including Oscar-winners Helen Mirren and Ben Kingsley, as well as Pierce Brosnan, Celia Imrie, Jonathan Pryce, David Tennant, Richard E. Grant and rising Naomie Akie. The Thursday Murder Club tells the story of four 70-somethings, with unique past lives, who decide to solve a murder in a retirement home. Tapping into some of the ingredients that made films like The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel and even Netflix's own recently released Nonnas a hit, The Thursday Murder Club debuts on Aug. 28.

Tony Hadley dismisses the prospect of a Spandau Ballet reunion
Tony Hadley doubts that a Spandau Ballet reunion would work. The 65-year-old singer quit as lead singer of the True band in 2017 due to "circumstances beyond my control" and was surprised to hear his ex-bandmate Gary Kemp suggest earlier this year that he would like to do another tour. Tony told Classic Pop magazine: "Really? That's news to me. "I don't think it would work. I haven't seen Gary, Martin (Kemp) or John (Keeble) in eight years. Steve (Norman) is the only one I'm vaguely in contact with. "We had some good times, but unfortunately there were some bad times as well. That's just life. We had some good laughs on the last tour, then unfortunately John fell ill and it wasn't the same without him. That was difficult." Tony doesn't want animosity amongst his former Spandau Ballet bandmates but is happy to be focusing on his solo career now. He said: "I wish Gary, Martin and John well, but I'm happy doing what I'm doing. I love the freedom I have now, the fact I can go from a bit of swing to a bit of rock. You can't do that within the confines of a band." Spandau Ballet had a huge hit with Gold in 1983 and Tony believes that the track continues to be popular as it is easy for people to sing along to. He explained: "You can't fail with Gold. There are times I get distracted singing it. I will suddenly come to and think: 'God, what's the second verse?' I get round it by going: 'Right, you lot can sing it...' However, Tony is still baffled that the band chose not to perform the song during their set at Live Aid in 1985. The singer said: "My one issue with Gold is, why didn't we play it at Live Aid? I think it's because we didn't think we could reproduce the orchestral touches at Wembley. Whatever, it didn't make any sense to me why we didn't do it." Hadley has been involved in music for over 40 years and believes that his distinctive voice has been pivotal to his success. He explained: "I've always had a big voice and it's always sounded like me. That gives me an identity, whether you like my voice or not. "My influences are all brilliant voices, but I'm not interested in technicality. Loads of singers can do more vocal twiddles than me and are technically better, but that's not what I'm interested in."

Queen Elizabeth's senior aide gives approval to new royal play
Queen Elizabeth's senior dresser Angela Kelly is a big fan of a new play about her relationship with the monarch. Daisy Goodwin's By Royal Appointment was inspired by the late monarch and her personal assistant's working relationship and Daisy revealed Angela actually attended a performance of the play and was impressed with how 'true to the Queen' it was. Daisy told HELLO! Magazine: 'She wrote me such a sweet note afterwards to say how much she'd enjoyed it. She felt it was truthful and it had made her well up. 'I thought that was so impressive. It takes a lot of nerve to watch something that's meant to be you on stage. She was big enough to see that what I've done was not her but true to her position. I think she thought it was true to the Queen so I was thrilled by that.' Daisy also spoke about how Angela's circumstances have changed since the death of Queen Elizabeth in 2022, going from a role 'at the heart of the court' to obscurity. She said: 'You go from having been one of the most powerful people at the heart of the court to someone whose services are no longer required and I thought 'here is a great story'. 'I didn't want her to feel exploited but now that she's seen it, she knows it's an affectionate portrait of the Queen and a realistic portrait of her. 'I imagine that in a world of courtiers, to have someone like Angela, who is not to the manor born, in a position of power, must have been quite tricky. She didn't suffer fools gladly.' And, Daisy was also fascinated by Queen Elizabeth's relationship with fashion. She explained: 'Here is a woman who isn't interested in fashion at all. What she wanted to wear was a Barbour or a headscarf. And yet she was the most famous clotheshorse in the world.' By Royal Appointment is currently on a national tour with Anne Reid as the Queen and Caroline Quentin as the dresser.
