Lizzo's 60-lb Weight Loss
Staying active is of course important when you're trying to lose weight, but just as important is your diet. Lizzo revealed on Instagram that one of her priorities in terms of her diet is incorporating "more protein." To do this, she's transitioned from being a strict vegan to eating some animal-based proteins. "After tests and research, I found that animal proteins helped me have more energy, lose weight, and helped with my mental fog," she explained.
One of the ways she incorporates protein into her diet is with a high protein breakfast, and one of her favorite recipes is cacio e pepe eggs. She shared a video of herself making the breakfast dish on TikTok, explaining to fans that after she works out, this is her "first meal of the day."
