Lizzo breaks silence on weight loss journey: 'Trying to save my life'

Lizzo is embarking on a transformative journey to adopt a healthier lifestyle. 

According to a source close to the star, Lizzo's motivation stems from a desire to avoid life-threatening health issues.

"She's trying to lose weight to save her life and is determined to drop some pounds," the insider revealed to Life and Style magazine. 

"She realizes if she doesn't do this, she could very well wind up dead... She doesn't want to end up with diabetes and other health problems either, that would make life miserable."

However, the Good as Hell singer faces daily struggles. "She finds it a struggle every day to stick to portion control and stay away from chips, soda, and desserts she loves," the source added. 

"She'll be doing good for a while, then read a negative comment and want a pint of ice cream to soothe her hurt feelings."

The singer recently shared a candid TikTok video about a tough day on her weight loss journey. 

In the clip, she wore a bold outfit but expressed somber emotions. On-screen text read: "I overate yesterday and I'm feeling really bad about it. I'm trying to remind myself that my body needed that nourishment. And if my body deserves comfort, then my brain deserves comfort too."

The video featured motivational audio: "You did good today. Really good. You might not see it, you might think it was just another day, but it wasn't. Every step you took today was a step forward, no matter how small." Lizzo captioned the post: "If you're going through this, you're not alone."

A source disclosed that Lizzo has lost over 60 pounds since beginning her journey. She's committed to sharing both the highs and lows with her fans.

To maintain transparency, Lizzo posted a "What I Eat in a Day" update on Instagram. "What I eat in a day as a former vegan who added protein to her diet," she explained. 

Lizzo discovered protein-rich foods in Japan, starting with lemon water and egg white cups.

She showcased her balanced meals, including buffalo chicken lettuce wraps, grilled chicken with vegetables, and homemade peach tea. Lizzo praised Japan's diet as "one of the healthiest in the world" with "some of my favourite foods."
