Lizzo opens up about weight loss journey and rejects Hollywood's Ozempic craze
Grammy-winning singer Lizzo is opening up about the lifestyle changes behind her recent weight loss, including shifting away from veganism and rejecting popular weight-loss medications like Ozempic. In an interview with Women's Health, the 37-year-old artist shared her decision to adopt a high-protein, low-carb diet as part of her ongoing health transformation. Lizzo revealed that she now begins her day with scrambled eggs, chicken sausage, and a cauliflower hash brown. Her lunch and dinner routines include meals such as shredded Thai chicken salad, turkey meatloaf with cauliflower mash, and green beans. To manage her GERD, Lizzo finishes her final meal by 5 p.m., giving her body ample time to digest before sleep. NEW: Lizzo says she is eating a high-protein, low-carb diet to lose weight, says she has *not* been on Ozempic, according to Women's Health. A lot of good advice here. Lizzo, who was once a vegan, which actually made her fatter due to her reliance on carbs at the time, says the… — Collin Rugg (@CollinRugg) July 2, 2025 Her snacks have also changed, now consisting of low-sugar Greek yogurt with berries and honey, and she's swapped her former Frappuccinos for coffee blended with vanilla protein powder. Despite her stricter eating habits, Lizzo maintains balance by occasionally indulging in favorites like chicken tenders with waffles or coconut cream donuts. The About Damn Time singer admitted that while she previously followed a vegan diet, she often relied on processed foods and consumed up to 5,000 calories daily. She has since worked to build a healthier relationship with food, overcoming past struggles with disordered eating and emotional snacking. Addressing public speculation, Lizzo confirmed she tried Ozempic but chose not to continue with it. 'If I did all this with Ozempic or surgery, I'd still be proud — because this is hard,' she said. Today, she emphasizes mindful eating and self-discipline as key components of her progress. Lizzo's transformation not only reflects physical progress, but also sends a message of resilience, balance, and self-acceptance — guided by a renewed mindset and support from a personal trainer.

Charlize Theron reportedly banned from Bezos events after joking about Jeff and Lauren Sanchez's wedding
Charlize Theron has reportedly been excluded from all future Jeff Bezos-related events after making a lighthearted jab at his recent wedding to Lauren Sanchez. The couple tied the knot in Venice on June 27 in a high-profile ceremony attended by Leonardo DiCaprio, Ivanka Trump, the Kardashian-Jenner family, and other A-listers. During the fifth annual Block Party for the Charlize Theron Africa Outreach Project, the Oscar-winning actress joked about not being invited to the wedding. 'That's okay because they suck and we're cool,' she said, prompting laughter from the audience. Her comment, aimed at the event's extravagance, reportedly upset Bezos. According to entertainment columnist Rob Shuter, Bezos was 'livid,' and Sanchez nearly responded on social media before being advised against it. A source claimed Theron is now banned from any events linked to the couple, including Blue Origin launches, yacht weekends, and high-profile charity galas. Theron's remark was seen as a critique of the wedding's estimated $50 million cost and its disruption to local life in Venice. Talk show host Rosie O'Donnell also criticised the display, posting, 'It turned my stomach seeing all these billionaires gathering in the gross excess of it all.' Others online took issue with Sanchez's wedding outfit, calling it 'tacky' and a symbol of 'conspicuous consumption.' Theron has not commented further, but the situation highlights growing scrutiny of celebrity wealth displays.
