Lizzo candidly discussed her ‘complicated relationship’ with food and revealed how she shed the pounds in a new video on Tuesday. 

The singer, 37, who has undergone a weight loss transformation, shared her journey and gave an insight into her new diet. 

Speaking to Women’s Health as part of their Fuel Like series, Lizzo explained: ‘My relationship with eating has evolved so much. 

‘We’ve had highs and we’ve had lows. Like it’s a very complicated relationship. Um there have been times where I have undernourished myself. 

‘There have been times where I was binging. I feel like right now in my life when I intuitively eat and listen to my body, that always works out for me.’ 

Lizzo admitted she went through a phase of feeling ‘very low energy’ which led her to ‘eating animal protein’ again.

She continued: ‘I had a period where I was experiencing a lot of like stomach pain and and stomach issues. 

‘So my trainer at the time, he noticed my diet and he was like, you know, I highly suggest a Japanese diet. 

‘When I had the opportunity to go to Japan for the first time, I was like, “All right, let’s let’s put our toe in the water with a country whose food I know is very, very clean.” 

‘And I started eating animal proteins over there. And I felt incredible.’ 

It comes after the About Damn Time hitmaker spoke openly about her health journey in a new interview with Women’s Health.

Within the issue, she revealed she’s adopted a high-protein, low-carb diet to help hit her goals. 

She starts her day with a go-to breakfast of two scrambled eggs, chicken sausage, and a cauliflower hash brown.

For lunch, she eats a shredded Thai chicken salad or lettuce wraps stuffed with tuna or sliced chicken breast.
