Lizzo is the epitome of versatility, offering her juice in various sizes. However, her recent weight loss journey couldn't go unnoticed, and Pete Davidson couldn't resist taking a light-hearted jab at the "About Damn Time" singer during The Roast of Kevin Hart, which premiered on Netflix on May 10. "What's left of Lizzo is here," Pete quipped from the podium. "Either that or Eddie Murphy just premiered the newest Klump. Hercules! Hercules!"
Lizzo took the joke in stride, clapping her hands together and throwing her head back in laughter at Pete's reference to The Nutty Professor movies, where an overweight scientist experiments with a slimming serum. Indeed, the 38-year-old has debuted a thinner appearance in recent months, admitting in June 2025 that she even briefly used GLP-1 medications.
"I tried everything," Lizzo said on the Just Trish podcast. "Ozempic works because you eat less food, yeah? So, if you eat right, it makes you feel full. But if you can just do that on your own and get mind over matter, it's the same thing." She eventually ditched the injectables and made a major change to her eating habits.
"What did it for me is not being vegan," Lizzo shared. "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." So now that she's added meat back into her diet, she's eating less "fake sugar and weird stuff."
"When I started actually eating whole foods and eating beef, chicken, and fish," Lizzo said, "I was actually full and not expanding my stomach by putting a lot of fake things in there that weren't actually filling me up."
However, her transformation has prompted many conversations about whether she's still a body-positive role model—with Lizzo emphatically defending her stance. "Body positivity has nothing to do with staying the same," she explained to Women's Health last summer. "Body positivity is the radical act of daring to exist loudly and proudly in a society that told you you shouldn't exist."
That's why the "Truth Hurts" singer advocates for self-love in all forms, noting that, even when it's hard, "I've never regretted a workout. Afterward, I always feel better. I work out for mental health first. Exercise is the best mood enhancer."
