Lizzo Reveals The Real Secret Behind Her Glow-Up

In the depths of fast food culture, which often promotes weight loss pills, Lizzo is cutting through the noise with open honesty. The Grammy-winning artist is allowing fans to follow along with her "intentional weight release journey," and the results are raising eyebrows not only for her body's transfiguration, but also for the self-care-focused journey she's decided to make her own.

Since the COVID-19 pandemic changed everything, Lizzo has been working on her routine, one designed to nourish her mind, body, and soul. And while clean eating and regular gym sessions are part of the equation, it's the less hyped-up treatments that have proven to make a lasting difference. The "About Damn Time" singer posted side-by-side photos featuring a before-and-after comparison of her first lymphatic massage versus her latest one on July 3. The difference was there, and she has no qualms about attributing wood therapy and lymphatic massages as game-changers. "I work my ass off, training 3x a week, daily sauna & cardio, adding animal protein back into my diet, hiring a chef who helps me meal prep and keeps track of what I put into my body in a calorie deficit, cutting out sugary Starbucks & full fat sodas & potato chips," she explained. And sometimes, it's not so much about working hard as it is allowing someone to help your body feel its best.

Her approach to wellness contains intention at every level. Lizzo has been doing cardio and workouts several times a week, and now gets into the sauna every day, as part of the daily ritual she'd started before the kids came home for lockdown. In the last few months, Lizzo has slowly reintroduced animal protein back into her diet, which she has both raved about and cursed, depending on what else is going on in her life. She has stopped drinking soda and eating chips late at night and hired her own chef, who helps her fend off hunger by ensuring she eats at a caloric deficit without sacrificing taste.

But perhaps most of all, she's embracing the power of recovery. Swaddled in plastic in an infrared sauna, one message shone forth from Lizzo. This is not a trip in pursuit of trends or to answer the chatter of internet speculation. "In light of all these magazines and blogs wanting me to be on ozempic soooo bad, here's the truth!," she wrote. Lizzo's candor is a welcome reminder that body transformation doesn't have to be dramatic to be effective. It might be the massage table time, the quiet moments, and the forced relaxation that all add up. For her, the wood therapy and lymphatic massages were lifelines in her evolution. In a culture that seeks quick fixes, Lizzo serves as a reminder that consistent, empowered change can be strong, healthy, and sexy. The lasting change begins not with a diet, but with self-care, and sometimes with the help of others.
