What is Lizzo's smoothie detox diet? Sick trolls fat-shame singer after post, but fans rush to her side
Singer-songwriter Lizzo, whose real name is Melissa Viviane Jefferson, is a strong advocate for embracing plus-size bodies and has always slammed body shamers who have tried to slow her down. Lizzo, who has never been ashamed of her plus size body, has now decided to focus on her health as she most recently took to her Instagram stories to share a few clips participating in a fad diet program.
The 32-year-old songstress can be seen sipping healthy detox smoothies, detox supplements and super diet food while posing in front of the camera in multiple stories. The award-winning crooner also posed with various outfits and shared inspiring photos of the difference she has made in 10 days. In one of the stories, Lizzo also takes to the camera and says, “Normally, I would have some positive thing to say to get me out of this, but I don't, and that's OK too."
She continues: "I think these are normal. They happen to everybody. They happen to the best of us. We are the best of us. And I just have to know that tomorrow how I feel in here [points to her head] is gonna change. And I can only hope that it changes for the better. But I know I'm beautiful, I just don't feel it. But I know I'm going to get through it.”
However, this did not go down with a lot of people on Twitter who don’t mind being fat. OneTwitter user, in particular, posted a series of tweets where she slammed Lizzo for not loving her body and sending a wrong message to fat people. In one of the tweets, she said, “The first person @lizzo linked in her stories of body-checking and detoxing is a person ALLLLL about weight loss. This is the detox she went on. F**k.The second she linked is her trainer. He posts a ton of before and after photos to his page. Lizzo is a fatphobe now.”
In another tweet, the user posted, “People seem to be shocked I’m labeling Lizzo as fatphobic. She is actively linking / promoting products that profit off of fat people hating themselves. That’s fatphobic behavior.”
