Lizzo’s weight and body type have often stolen the spotlight away from her immense musical talent — and it looks like that isn’t changing anytime soon.
On Monday (December 13), the Grammy Award-winning artist found herself a trending Twitter topic after she shared a pair of TikTok videos revealing she’d just completed a 10-day smoothie fast. In one clip, she shows her progression from Day 1 to Day 10 and explains why she embarked on the crash diet.
“So I drank a lot and I ate a lot of food that fucked my stomach up in Mexico,” she says in the clip. “So I decided to do JJ Smith’s 10-day smoothie plan.”

But as the backlash ensued, with some women accusing her of being a “fatphobe,” Lizzo evidently felt the need to expound on what led her to take such an extreme route to lose weight.
“I did the 10-day smoothie detox and as you know, normally I’d be so afraid and ashamed to post things like this online, because I feel like as a big girl, people just expect if you’re doing something for health, you’re doing it for some dramatic weight less and that is not the case,” she said in a follow-up video. “In reality, November stressed me the fuck out. I drank a lot, I ate a lot of spicy things that fucked my stomach up and I wanted to reverse it and get back to where I was.
Lizzo Tells Her Fat Shamers To Worry About Their 'Own God Damn Bodies'
“I’m so proud of myself. I’m proud of my results. My sleep has improved. My hydration, my inner peace, my mental stability, my fuckin’ body, my fuckin’ skin, the whites of my eyes — I feel like I look like a bad bitch and I think, that’s it. I’m a big girl who does smoothie detox and I wanted to share that with you guys. I got exactly what I wanted out of it and every big girl should do whatever the fuck they want with their bodies.
@lizzoBig girls do whatever u want with your bodies!!! I’m just as proud of my results from my smoothie detox as I am of my belly curves and swerves ❤️♬ original sound – lizzo
Despite Lizzo’s best attempts at being honest about her decision to do the diet, people still pounced on her, sparking a heated debate on social media. Some claimed she had essentially failed as a role model for body positivity, while others chastised her critics. But as she made clear in her TikTok caption, it’s up to women what they want to do with their bodies.
“Big girls do whatever u want with your bodies!!!” she added. “I’m just as proud of my results from my smoothie detox as I am of my belly curves and swerves.”

I once ate a whole movie set.
See these same ppl will be saying rip she should of taken care of herself when she dies.. fat literally drips off her bones. Its not heslthy and she will die early. Ppl telling her this actually cate 4 her more than her followers saying w.e 2 please her
How did you miss the part where shes lost a shit load of weight ? The part where shes been gone vegan. The part talking about all shes been doing to get healthier? Fucking read much!? You were so quick to make a comment you dont even know what you’re talking about. Rushing to talk shit its fucking lame
Did you miss the part where we don’t give a fuck? The part where we don’t even read the articles?? The part where we just jump to the comments and clown???
Lol the bitch been on diets and excerise for the last 3 years LOL
They’re health-shaming her…
She’s one the lucky ones since the COVID-19 virus isn’t strong enough to penetrate all the layers of her fat rolls so she’s practically immune to it. Unfair advantage.
I bet her farts sound like a Harley Davidson and smells like a dead buffalo
Get a fuckin shovel and start feeding her pounds and pounds of cheesecake till she explodes !
Damn imagine Big Pun having to go on Twitter to justify himself after saying he lost 100lbs and that he’s trying to live because people bashed him for being fatphobic. What has the world come to?
Wanting to lose weight makes her a fat phobe? This generation is a disgrace, political correctness has melted your brains.
I got the shakes that’ll make you quake. I got the fries that’ll cross your eyes. I got that burgers that’ll… I just got burgers.
Her blood type is bolognese.
Im offended that people keep calling her “talented” but in any case its wild how people expect to be able to put their lives online without any criticism. The internet is not your private diary but these Feminists ™ think they should be able to say whatever crazy nonsense comes to mind and that no one has the right to say anything, keep it private then
she is talented tho. shes fat but she can sing no doubt and play the flute.
Sorry this bitch can’t sing. That flute you saw her playing, was just a sausage she was shoving in her mouth while humming.
Why is she exercising and dieting though? I thought her mission was to force everybody to look at how fat she is.
Bring me the Wookie!!!
I bet in Mexico she was prime real estate
i think if I met Lizzo in person I wouldn’t like her just because everyone ain’t for everybody. Me being an asshole I know when I get under peoples skin and she does too but she’s definitely getting paid to make people mad and it’s working for her though I really don’t like this fat is okay thing cause it ain’t.
How do you go to Mexico amd come back to America and not have to get quarantined for 14 days its way worse in Mexico must have drove across the border people only vacation in Mexico because its cheap. You can rent a 6 bedroom mansion on the beach for a thousand bucks a month but you cant drink the water though
Jizzo outchea looking like a mini van and shit
Problem with talks about body positivity is that people miss the point about feeling comfortable in their own skin so they tend to focus on a particular body type in those discussions. A person shouldn’t be made to feel bad or a traitor because of what they decide to do with their body such as for example choosing to go on a diet. Whether a person is fat, skinny or somewhere in between they deserve to feel positive and at ease in their body.
I need Lizzo to protein fart and shart all over my face after she has a high protein meal!!
Damn…if you are so concerned about someone’s weight on twitter …tiktok then you need to get a life. I don’t care one way or the other. People out here worshipping celebrities like their life depends on it. Getting into arguments online with people you don’t even know. .gtfoh.
Shes doing everything but release some good music! A one hit wonder who stole that material for the one hit, cant do anything but try and look for sympathy & validation on social media. Smdh
What’s a diet? Who cares what this buffalo bitch is doing?
Her last diet was going to McDonald’s ordering one of everything. Then watching the kids play in the play room
From diabetes or high blood pressure. Maybe then these ppl will start to understand its not healthy to be a whale.
Who am I kidding, no they won’t
