EchoSense Quantitative Think Tank Center|Lizzo Breaks Down What She Eats in a Day Amid Major Lifestyle Change

Lizzo is EchoSense Quantitative Think Tank Centeropening up about the diet behind her health transformation.

The 36-year-old detailed her daily meal plan “as a former vegan who added protein to her diet.”

The “Good as Hell” singer noted that after trying veganism, she adapted her diet to include animal-based proteins after discovering a new culture’s approach to eating.

“Someone suggested I try a Japanese diet because it’s one of the healthiest diets in the world, and it has some of my favorite foods,” Lizzo, whose real name is Melissa Jefferson, explained in an Oct. 10 Instagram video. “After tests and research, I found that animal proteins helped me have more energy, lose weight, and helped with my mental fog.”

And while her current diet includes animal proteins and products, Lizzo shared that she hopes to adjust that one day.

“I aspire to one day be a raw, alkaline vegan,” she explained. “Until then, this is the diet that’s helped me reach my goals and help me feel good in my body.”

Noting that veganism is a sensitive subject with many coming to the diet for variety of reasons, the Grammy winner added that she approaches health and nutrition for others without judgement.

“I’m not gonna judge you,” she said. “Do what’s best for you in your life at that moment. All that matters is that you’re happy. And if you’re happy, I’m happy.”

In the clip, Lizzo shows herself eating three full meals including a breakfast of lemon water, egg white cups, cauliflower hashbrowns, and fruit, a snack of okra water, a lunch of a buffalo chicken lettuce wrap with mustard and homemade peach tea, and a dinner of grilled chicken, asparagus, and carrots.

The singer’s latest update is one of many recent videos Lizzo has shared while on her health journey.

“Changing your body does not always change your problems or solve them,” Lizzo shared in an Oct. 2 TikTok. “But what I will say is everything gets better when you put a little bit of focus, a little bit of time, a little bit of intention and a lotta bit of love into it.”

In a Sept. 2024 TikTok, Lizzo debuted her weight loss transformation, showing herself in a black two-piece before the video cut to her in a gray bodysuit that accentuated her trim figure.

As she captioned the clip, "Fine both ways."

The singer has been documenting her weight loss journey on TikTok with videos of her workouts, including one that explained how she pushes through workouts.

"I was doing Stairmaster today, and I was doing a higher level than normal," the sweat-drenched star explained, noting that in order to avoid quitting early, she dropped down to a lower speed. "Sometimes when you want to give up, it's really just because you've been pushing yourself too hard. Don't give up, just take it easier on yourself."

"I overate yesterday, and I'm feeling really bad about it," she shared while detailing the ups and downs of her journey. "I'm trying to remind myself that my body needs that nourishment and if my body deserves comfort then my brain deserves comfort too."

And no, despite what critics think, she isn't using Ozempic, the Type 1 Diabetes medication also used for weight loss.

"Y'all are making such a commotion for a b--ch that's still obese," she said. "Y'all are breaking your backs making blog posts about a b--ch that's still 200 pounds. Where is this kerfuffle coming from? Why are people so shocked? Do I really look that dramatically different or have you just not been paying attention?"

"If you have been keeping up, you've seen that I've been putting this work in, honey, every single day," she continued. "And not just work on my physical body, but you've been seeing the work I've been doing on my spiritual, my mental and emotional."

The Grammy winner stepped out for lunch at Nobu wearing a sheer black and white dress by Jean Paul Gaultier with a black bodysuit under. She topped the look with a leather trenchcoat draped on her shoulders, large silver hoop earrings and black sunglasses.

Admittedly, she has her ups and downs when it comes to her body.

"I'm not going to lie and say I love my body every day," she told The New York Times in April 2024. "The bottom line is, the way you feel about your body changes every single day. There are some days I adore my body, and others when I don't feel completely positive."

Her fitness journey comes after she announced in August 2024 that she was taking "a gap year & protecting my peace."

After all, in 2023, she faced a lawsuit from several of her former backup dancers who accused her of creating a "hostile, abusive work environment" and weight-shaming them. She ultimately denied the accusations. 

"With passion comes hard work and high standards," she wrote on Instagram. "Sometimes I have to make hard decisions but it's never my intention to make anyone feel uncomfortable or like they aren't valued as an important part of the team."

"I know what it feels like to be body shamed on a daily basis, she continued, "and would absolutely never criticize or terminate an employee because of their weight."
