Lizzo Defends Her 10-Day Detox

Lizzo brings nothing but love and light to the world — and in return? She gets fools commenting on her body and health choices at every turn. This time, the internet idiots decided to give the singer a hard time about doing a detox … A freaking DETOX!

Lizzo has always been a body-positive force to be reckoned with. She’s provided many of her fans with the inspiration they need to feel good about their bodies, no matter the size. And although the “Good As Hell” singer loves the skin she’s in, she’s also a work in progress — which for some reason makes folks mad.

Recently, Liz embarked on a 10-day smoothie detox. The program had a host of benefits, but detractors could only focus on what they thought was a sign that their leader was turning her back on her legions of thick fans, in favor of slimmer waistline…

For the folks screaming at me, I’m not mad about her trying to lose weight, I’m disappointed she’s promoting an unhealthy diet fad to millions of young impressionable girls, and encouraging eating disorder type behaviour. Detox cleanses are a sham.

Luckily, the hate was drowned out by the love. Lizzo’s true fans applauded the 32-year-old for putting her health first — in whatever capacity that looks like.

Not sure who needs to hear this but #Lizzo is not a disappointment to the anti-diet and body positivity movements for posting her smoothie challenge & before/after pics. She is a human, doing the best she can for her health in the moment & we don't need to drag anyone for that.

Lizzo then took to Instagram to give peeps the full picture of what her program entailed. The detox, while it may have had weight loss benefits, was actually used to get the singer’s health back in order after a stressful November.

“My sleep has improved (and), my hydration, my mental stability, my skin”.

“Every big girl should do whatever the fuck they want to with THEIR bodies.” – Lizzo

Thank you @lizzo for being an inspiration. Thank you for your music and flawless talent. You do you Queen! #lizzo pic.twitter.com/Ws8WGpfMDp
