Lizzo is sharing insights into her dietary choices that have fueled her recent 60-lb weight loss. The “About Damn Time” hitmaker, 36, revealed her typical meal plan on Instagram, noting her transition from being a strict vegan to incorporating “more protein” into her diet.
In an October 10th message for her fans, the “Truth Hurts” artist (real name Melissa Jefferson) mentioned that after experimenting with veganism, she adjusted her diet to incorporate animal-based proteins upon exploring a different culture’s practices.
“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,” the Grammy winner shared. Lizzo added: “After tests and research, I found that animal proteins helped me have more energy, lose weight, and helped with my mental fog.”

Lizzo Opens Up About Adjusting Her Diet And Adding ‘More Protein’ Amid Her Recent Weight Loss
Though the Yitty co-creator’s current diet features animal proteins and products, she expressed her aspiration to modify this in the future. “I aspire to one day be a raw, alkaline vegan,” the “Juice” singer noted. “Until then, this is the diet that’s helped me reach my goals and help me feel good in my body.”
Recognizing that veganism is a delicate topic, with many of her fans adopting the lifestyle for diverse reasons, Lizzo emphasized her non-judgmental approach to others’ health and nutrition choices. “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 video, the “Tempo” crooner dons a chic all-brown outfit, including a bodysuit and matching trousers. She takes viewers through her daily meals, starting with a breakfast of lemon water, egg white cups, cauliflower hashbrowns, and fruit. For a snack, Lizzo sips on okra water. Her lunch features a buffalo chicken lettuce wrap with mustard and homemade peach tea. Dinner is a serving of grilled chicken accompanied by asparagus and carrots.
Earlier this month, Lizzo made another insightful TikTok post while reflecting on her health journey and told fans: “Changing your body does not always change your problems or solve them.”

She added, in her October 2nd upload: “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.”
Last month, Lizzo revealed her weight loss transformation for the first time. She initially appeared in a black two-piece outfit, and then the video transitioned to her wearing a gray bodysuit that highlighted her slimmed-down physique.
