Lizzo Shuts Down Ozempic Rumors, Reveals 16% Body Fat Loss Strategy
Did we really need another star’s weight-loss anthem? Lizzo thought so, announcing she’s shed a solid 16 percent of her body fat while side‑eying those pesky Ozempic rumors. The “Truth Hurts” singer took to Instagram (via a video captioned “Real Talk”) to slam tabloids that claimed she was popping weight‑loss injections like candy. According to her, no needles touched her routine—just sweat, discipline and a heaping dose of self‑confidence.
Lizzo’s body‑scan results, which she shared on her story, show a drop from roughly 43.2 percent body fat down to a leaner 36.3 percent over the course of “several months.” She credits a revamped nutrition plan—think whole foods, balanced macros and ditching processed junk—for fueling her workouts. Those workouts? A mix of strength training, HIIT sessions and a recurring date with Pilates. “I said goodbye to late‑night comfort foods and hello to protein-packed meals,” she quipped, adding that consistency was her real secret weapon. No quick fixes, no magic pills.
Of course, the tabloids wasted no time. New York Post first fanned the flame, speculating that she’d joined the ranks of celebs allegedly using Ozempic. People magazine followed up with a story on rumored celebrity semaglutide use. But Lizzo wasn’t having it. She tagged her doctor and nutritionist in her post, making it clear her results were by the book—and by the beat of her own motivational playlist. “My medical team and I mapped this out,” she wrote, “so save your rumors for someone who cares.”
Industry insiders tell us that Lizzo’s approach isn’t revolutionary—stars have been hiring trainers and meal planners forever—but her boldness in calling out gossip? That’s the headline grabber. A source close to the singer says she’s fed up with “lazy journalism” that reduces her accomplishments to drug-fueled hype. Instead, she wants to normalize hard work, accountability and celebrating every milestone—no pharma required.
SEO experts will note that Lizzo’s story is ripe for search traffic, pairing trending terms like “Ozempic rumors,” “body fat percentage” and “celebrity weight loss routine.” And with nearly 10 million likes on her announcement post? It’s safe to say public interest is sky‑high.
So if you’re hunting for a fitness pep talk or just craving the latest celeb rebuttal, Lizzo delivers both in one confident package. Will this put an end to the endless Ozempic chatter? Probably not. But it does remind us all that—shockingly—stars can hustle for their results without jumping on every pharmaceutical bandwagon.
That’s today’s dose of reality served with a side of sass. You’re welcome.
