Lizzo’s 50-Pound Weight Gain Revelation Exposes The Biggest Lie We’ve Been Told About Veganism [Op-Ed]

To some, becoming vegan is the ultimate wellness flex. Trading the “all beef patties” for Beyond Meat. Swapping the dairy for the oat milk. Oh, and you gotta add the green juice. Sounds simple. Right? That, I assume is what led us to believe being “vegan” was a walk in the park and it automatically meant “healthy” living.

Lizzo’s recent revelation reminds us that vegan and healthy are not always synonymous. While reflecting on her recent weight-loss journey, the Grammy Award-winning singer shared that she gained nearly 50 pounds while she tried to adopt a vegan lifestyle. According to her, processed meat alternatives and French fries became staples in her diet before she realized the lifestyle was not that simple and that what she was doing was not working for her body.

Her comments immediately reignited conversations about her weight loss over the years. Some praised her commitment to improving her health. Some questioned whether her weight loss somehow contradicted the body-positive movement she spent years championing. Others, called BS because how could she be vegan AND gain that much weight. While Lizzo’s body is no one’s business except hers we are asking the wrong question.
