Lizzo is opening up about her recent weight loss, admitting that she did use a GLP-1 drug like Ozempic, but ultimately claims she dropped the weight due to major dietary changes.

“I’ve tried everything,” the 37-year-old singer said during a conversation on the “Just Trish” podcast. “It’s just the science, for me, calories in vs. calories out. Ozempic works because you eat less food.”

“It makes you feel full. So, if you can just do that on your own and get mind-over-matter, it’s the same,” she added.

The “Good as Hell” singer said that quitting her vegan diet in favor of eating beef and chicken helped her with weight loss.

“What did it for me was — actually it was not being vegan,” Lizzo said. “Because when I was vegan, I was consuming a lot of fake meats. I was eating a lot of bread. I was eating a lot of rice, and I had to eat a lot of it to stay full. But really I was consuming like 3,000 to 5,000 calories a day.”

“So for me, when I actually started eating whole foods and eating, like, beef and chicken and fish, I was actually full and not expanding my stomach by putting a lot of, like, fake things in there that wasn’t actually filling me up,” she continued.

The singer was known to her fans as being a champion of the body positivity movement, which has led to some fans having a negative reaction to her massive weight loss. She had originally denied using Ozempic and said her noticeable body change was due to a “calorie deficit.”

Lizzo addressed some of the backlash in a May 2023 TikTok video.

“Once I started working out for mental health, to have balanced mental health or endorphins, so that I don’t look at myself in the mirror and feel ashamed of myself, and feel disgusted with myself, exercise has helped me shift my mind, not my body,” she said at the time, per People. “My body is gonna change, everyone’s bodies change. That’s life.”

Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents arrested Alexander Alfredo Palacios Guevara, an illegal alien, in Los Angeles, but the federal agency found that it might not have the authority to deport him back to El Salvador due to a Biden-era legal decision.

Guevara was granted a deportation protection order in December 2024 as the Biden administration was nearing an end after he claimed he was at risk of being tortured if he was returned to his homeland.

“A highly unusual Biden-era legal decision from December allowed this dangerous criminal to live in American communities,” an ICE spokesman told Fox News before also laying out Guevara’s criminal history. “This criminal alien should never have been roaming the streets of Los Angeles. Not only is he a member of the ruthless Surenos gang, but he also has multiple convictions for murder, assault and rape or sexual abuse of a minor.”

Guevara, who was given a Deferral of Removal under the Convention Against Torture (CAT), was briefly released by ICE, though the law enforcement agency recaptured him just a day later due to the risk he poses to the public.

The criminal alien now sits in ICE custody as a legal battle that could decide Guevara’s fate makes its way to the Supreme Court.

The Trump administration deported several violent criminal illegal aliens, including Cuban and Vietnamese nationals, to South Sudan last month. The deportation flight was arranged with the African country after the illegal aliens’ home countries were unwilling to take them back. The flight was swiftly challenged in court, with a U.S. district judge ruling that the Trump administration must maintain custody over the illegal aliens in order to “ensure the practical feasibility of return if the Court finds that such removals were unlawful.”

The Trump administration has asked the Supreme Court to weigh in on the case. If the administration wins, Guevara could be deported to a “third country” willing to accept deportees.
