“Former vegan” Lizzo revealed what she eats in a day while crediting animal protein with helping her shed pounds amid her weight loss journey.
The “Good as Hell” singer documented the foods and beverages she consumes in a day in a video posted on Instagram Thursday.
She started her day off with lemon water and egg white cups, cauliflower hashbrowns and fruit.
Later in the day, the “Truth Hurts” hitmaker, 36, enjoyed some okra water followed by a buffalo chicken lettuce wrap with “lots of mustard” and homemade peach tea.
Lizzo revealed what she eats in a day in a video posted on Thursday amid her weight loss journey. The singer started her day with a glass of lemon water. She also enjoyed egg white cups, cauliflower hashbrowns and some fruit.
She ended her day by munching on some grilled chicken with carrots and asparagus.
Lizzo also included a voiceover in the video, during which she explained she decided to add meat back into her diet during a trip to Japan.
“When I got to Japan, I was in awe with how clean and delicious their food was. I indulged in fresh sushi and fluffy egg and I was amazed at how good my body felt the next day,” she said.
Lizzo later munched on a buffalo chicken lettuce wrap. She paired her lunch wrap with homemade peach tea.
“After tests and research, I found that animal proteins helped me have more energy, lose weight and helped with my mental fog,” she shared.
“This is the diet that’s helped me reach my goals and helped me feel good in my body.”
However, the Grammy winner said she still thinks the vegan diet “is still the healthiest diet to have” and she aspires to one day be a “raw alkaline vegan.”
A raw alkaline diet is a plant-based diet meant to create an alkaline environment in one’s body, which means having an internal pH level of eight or higher, according to the Cleveland Clinic .
Lizzo finished her day with grilled chicken, carrots and asparagus. In the voiceover for the video, the “former vegan” said she lost weight after adding animal protein back into her diet.
The medical center warns that the alkaline diet is not proven to have actual health benefits and that the body regulates pH on its own naturally.
Lizzo acknowledged her video is about a “sensitive” subject matter, but wanted to “be honest and share [her] story in [her] own words.”
“Do what’s best for you in your life at that moment,” she encouraged fans.
She concluded, “All that matters is that you’re happy and if you’re happy, I’m happy.”

Lizzo did not reveal which trip to Japan inspired her new diet, but visited the Asian country in August 2023.
A month later, she hit back at claims that she was on Ozempic by revealing she had spent the last five months weight training and living in a calorie deficit.
In September, Lizzo confirmed she is taking a year off to protect her peace. lizzobeeating/Instagram She has denied using Ozempic while showing off her weight loss on social media. Instagram/Lizzo
