Lizzo Says This Macronutrient Is 'The Secret To Happiness'
Lizzo had long been plagued by radiating back pain, a result of damaged discs from pressure caused by her weight. And while she'd always been proud of her size, Lizzo knew she had to make some changes in order to find relief from the debilitating pain. As she puts it: "Body positivity has nothing to do with staying the same."
In addition to enlisting the services of Kelly Rowland's personal trainer Marvin Telp to create a consistent workout regimen, Lizzo also revamped her diet—one she shares with WH in the latest installment of our video series Fuel Like.
"My relationship with eating has evolved so much," she says. "There have been times where I have undernourished myself; there have been times where I was bingeing. When I intuitively eat and listen to my body, that always works out for me."
Part of her intuitive eating plan has included reincorporating meat into her diet following her decision to go vegan in 2020. After experiencing periods of low energy and stomach pains, her trainer recommended she try a Japanese diet. A trip to Japan was the tipping point Lizzo needed to give meat another try. As she recalls thinking: "Let's put our toe in the water with a country whose food I know is very, very clean." The result? "I felt incredible," Lizzo says. "When I got back to the States, I started to slowly introduce animal proteins into my diet, and here we are today."
Protein is just one component of the eating routine that fuels Lizzo. She's also quick to sing the praises of another macronutrient: carbs. "Your body loves carbs," she enthuses. "Carbs are the secret to happiness!"
Find out how Lizzo incorporates protein and carbs into breakfast, lunch, dinner, and snacks(!) by watching the latest installment of Fuel Like.

Lizzo Says This Macronutrient Is 'The Secret To Happiness'
Reinvention doesn't come without effort. Just ask Women's Health's summer issue cover star Lizzo. In a candid interview with writer Jessica Herndon, the 37-year-old artist details the big life changes she's made over the past couple of years to find inner peace (can you say social media cleanse!?) and heal her body. Lizzo had long been plagued by radiating back pain, a result of damaged discs from pressure caused by her weight.

DIGAWEL Curates a "Creative Class Uniform" for FW25
For its FW25 collection, Japanese labelDIGAWELproposes a 'Creative Class Uniform,' borrowing influences from various realms including traditional prep, workwear, and easy loungewear. DIGAWEL shared that 'the collection was inspired by a reconsideration of the scrapbooks we have accumulated over the years.' Through this lens, the brand reconstructed its archival inspirations with 'matured interpretation,' modernizing and improving upon classic styles and the brand's earlier concepts. 'We have thoroughly addressed the question of what kind of clothing is the brand's goal, which is to accompany you in your daily life,' the brand added. DIGAWEL's latest lookbook reflects this eclectic approach, combining pieces into timeless numbers that balance formality with casualness, and elegance with utility. The first look is a fitting introduction to the range, led by a classic tan overcoat, baggy brown trousers, and a blue dress shirt, accented with a retro dad cap and red Pumas. Elsewhere, a two-piece check suit is paired with a baseball cap and black leather dress shoe, leaning into the Ivy sensibilities found throughout. The brand continues its collaboration withBODHIthis season to offer a sweater and trousers using luxurious 100% cashmere knitted into a delicate 18-gauge knitted fabric. Additionally, a nylon puffer coat made in collaboration withF/CEboasts a rounded silhouette packed with added down. See the gallery above for a full look at DIGAWEL FW25. The collection is set for release ahead of the season on theDIGAWEL webstore.

Worms Make Me Uncomfortable, but I'll Still Play This Upcoming Apple Arcade Game
Worms are everywhere. I know and accept this, but I hate those little critters and they freak me out. Their wriggly bodies make my skin crawl, and I actively avoid them at all costs. But when Apple Arcade adds Worms Across Worlds, the next installment in the award-winning Worms series, on Aug. 7, I'll play it because the game's cartoony style make these worms palatable for me. Apple Arcade is filled with familiar and classic games, alongside exclusive titles, that you can play for $7 a month (£7, AU$10). You can find many of these games in the App Store, but they may have paywalls and ads that hinder your gaming experience. An Apple Arcade subscription gives you access to games without paywalls and ads, a feature usually denoted by "Plus" in the name. Here are all the games Apple is bringing to the service in August. You can also check out the games Apple added in July, like Angry Birds Bounce. Worms Across Worlds Developer: StoryToys and Behaviour Interactive Apple I'm not a fan of worms, but I'll play Worms Across Worlds for the animation and quirky humor. The invertebrate warriors are back to stop Professor Wormwinkle's reality-threatening experiments in this turn-based strategy game. The worms will chase the professor through five different dimensions to bring an end to his path of destruction. You can play solo or team up in four-player multiplayer mayhem. Play-Doh World Developer: Scary Beasties Apple This Apple Arcade exclusive game is a great way to introduce your kids to learning, crafting and gaming. You can sculpt, squish and squash Play-Doh creations while exploring an ever-expanding world. And the more you interact with this world, the more special Play-Dohs you'll collect, so you can give your creations unique looks and styles. Let's Go Mightycat! Developer: Ponos Corporation Apple It's a bird! It's a plane! No, it's the galactic hero Mightycat! In this 3D block-busting puzzler game, you're on a quest to stop the Super Cat God from conquering the whole galaxy -- and maybe pushing it off a ledge. You'll rescue friends, collect stylish new capes and decorate your own room in between saving the galaxy of course. Everybody Shogi Developer: AltPlus Inc. Apple This game is based on the Japanese strategy board game Shogi, or Japanese chess, which anyone can pick up and play. Players can learn this traditional game, enjoy daily challenges, unlock unique piece designs and take on other players from around the world. You can access these games on Apple Arcade on Aug. 7, and you can access other games on the service now for $7 per month or $50 annually. You can also try Apple Arcade free for one month with your first sign-up, or you can get a three-month free trial when you buy a new Apple device. To access Apple Arcade, open the App Store on your iPhone or iPad, and tap the joystick in the menu bar.
