During a Tuesday TikTok Live, the “About Damn Time” songstress spoke about her weight loss, noting she avoids “sugary stuff” in the mornings and goes for a “super savory” meal.
“I do something sweet,” she said. “It’s gotta 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 then pointed out that she believes the only thing that “works across the board, science-wise, is calories in versus calories out.”
Lizzo further shared that she used to drink two or three large Starbucks drinks a day. However, she stopped purchasing the beverages after finding out how many calories are in each. She said she was drinking up to 1200 calories a day.
While discussing her mental well-being, the singer also said she stopped drinking coffee to help regulate her nervous system. She explained she had “to start applying a calorie deficit” because she was prone to binge eating.
