Lizzo is focused on being the best version herself. She recently shared how she got in better shape and overcame her anxiety.
As reported on People, Lizzo is stepping into a new era. For the last year she has prioritized her physical and mental health with results to show for her hard work. On Tuesday (April 22), she hosted a TikTok Live where she told her fans how she had to deny her sweet tooth in order to kick start her health transformation. “I do something sweet. It’s got to be with some sort of like carb. I’ll have like almond butter and toast. So, everybody’s body is different. Find out what works for you,” she explained before adding that at the end of day there is only one weight loss principle that “works across the board, science-wise, is calories in versus calories out.”
Lizzo also acknowledged that her daily consumption of “two to three” Starbucks beverages also negatively impacted her weight loss journey. She ultimately cut back when she found out that the large drinks added up to 1,200 calories a day. Additionally, the singer said that she also stopped taking in so much caffeine in order to regulate her nervous system. Lizzo has since incorporated tracking her macronutrients and “had to start applying a calorie deficit, because I was prone to binging.” Luckily, her work has paid off and not only has she shed some noticeable weight but also has positively contributed to her mental well-being. “I’ve been working to get my anxiety under control for years. And then I decided that I want to release and I’m ready to stop waiting to be myself like fully and be happy.”
Before closing out the TikTok Live she doubled down on the importance of feeding her focuses and starving her distractions. “I loved to distract myself with people. I loved to distract myself with food. I loved to distract myself with drinking. I loved to distract myself with problems that I would create. I would love to do that. And I stopped doing that,” she said. “And I just focused on me.”
