Meghan Trainor Responds to Criticism Over Her Weight Loss and Health Journey

Meghan Trainor is speaking out about the growing wave of online criticism surrounding her recent transformation. In a newly released Entertainment Tonight interview from Nov. 12, the pop star admitted she’s surprised by the negativity that has followed her efforts to improve her health.

“They’re getting louder. There’s more of them. Dude, it’s crazy,” Trainor said, reflecting on the harsh comments she receives on social media.

For the singer, the criticism feels especially confusing because, for the first time since becoming a mother, she has been prioritizing her health at a level she never has before. “I’m literally—after having babies—taking care of my health to the highest level, and I’ve never felt better. I look incredible. I feel great,” she shared. “And that’s when people attack me?”

Trainor’s Ongoing Health and Fitness Journey

Over the last few years, Trainor has been open about her commitment to getting stronger, eating healthier, and learning more about her body. Her weight-loss journey includes a structured strength-training routine, a balanced diet, and her doctor-recommended use of the diabetes medication Mounjaro. These lifestyle changes were not made for appearance, she noted, but to support her overall well-being.

“I was like, ‘Wait a second, I’m taking care of myself. You don’t like it? OK. So what am I supposed to do?’” she explained.

The confusion and emotional impact of this criticism inspired her latest single, “Still Don’t Care,” from her upcoming album Toy with Me. In the track, she addresses the conflicting expectations placed on women: “Said I was too thick, then I got way too thin / And I try to stand out, but I wanna fit in.”

The song, Trainor said, is her way of manifesting a stronger future self—even if she can’t fully ignore the negativity today.

A Health Scare That Sparked Change

In a Nov. 13 interview with 102.7 KIIS-FM, Trainor revealed that the turning point in her health journey came during pregnancy when she was diagnosed with gestational diabetes. The diagnosis pushed her to learn more about nutrition, fitness, and long-term health habits.

“Everyone’s being like, ‘Why are you thin now? You were the “All About That Bass” girl.’ I was like, ‘I was 19 when I came out with that song. I’ve been on a fitness journey,’” she said.

The diagnosis motivated her to strengthen her body, especially as a mother who wants to remain active with her kids. “If I want to tour forever, I’ve got to be at my strongest. And if I want to lift my kids from their crib and not pull my back, I have to take care of myself.”

Navigating Health Challenges and Dietary Changes

Trainor also revealed that she spent five months gluten-free and dairy-free under the guidance of a nutritionist. This shift significantly improved her gut health. She previously suffered from irritable bowel syndrome and what she called a “leaky gut,” issues that eased once she adjusted her diet.

In a post earlier this year, Trainor shared that after the birth of her second child, she began using Mounjaro to support her recovery and metabolism. “I’m so glad I did because I feel great,” she wrote at the time.

Breast Augmentation and Rebuilding Self-Confidence

Alongside her fitness changes, Trainor also chose to undergo breast augmentation surgery at the start of 2025—something she says played a major role in restoring her confidence.

“I’m always singing about loving myself, and it got harder and harder with all the scars and stretch marks,” she said. “After losing weight, these boobs were just purely empty… just skin on my body.”

Trainor opted for Motiva SmoothSilk Ergonomix 290 Mini implants, a decision that she says brought her a sense of empowerment. Her therapist was also supportive. “That’s how I feel we should support women—when they’re making changes for themselves,” she said. “This is all about me. This is what I wanted.”

Understanding the Risks

Although Trainor is happy with her results, she acknowledges that breast augmentation is not without risks. In recent years, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration has warned about potential complications such as capsular contracture, implant rupture, immune-system cancers, and symptoms associated with Breast Implant Illness.

For Trainor, the choice was deeply personal. “I want to be confident in my clothes and look down when I’m taking a shower and go, ‘Yeah, those are my boobs.’”

Finding Strength Through Music and Self-Acceptance

Despite criticism, Trainor continues to channel her experiences into her music. Like “All About That Bass,” her new single “Still Don’t Care” reflects her push toward self-acceptance—using songwriting as a way to reclaim confidence.

“It confused me and rattled me,” she said about the backlash. “But I use songs like this to manifest how I think in the future.”

Trainor’s journey—spanning motherhood, health challenges, and personal transformation—remains a reminder of the pressure public figures face and the importance of focusing on personal well-being above outside opinion.
