JoJo has admitted that she used injections to lose weight fast during her early teen years.
The brunette beauty was on supplements from a nutritionist her previous record label hired for the singer.
“[It’s]Â something that I agreed to do that ended up messing with me psychologically,” JoJo said.

The Vermont native felt pressure from her first record label to lose the weight and only ate 500 calories a day.
“I was under a lot of pressure with a company I was at previously and they wanted me to lose weight fast,” she told Popsugar.
“So they got me with a nutritionist and had me on all these supplements and I was injecting myself — this is a common thing ‘the girls’ do all the wat.
“It makes your body only need certain calories, so I ate 500 calories a day. It was the most unhealthy thing I’ve ever done.”

The 25-year-old continued that she no longer follows what people tell her to do.
“I listen to other people’s opinions. Listening and following are different things.
“I think listening and showing respect to people you respect… it works for me.
“What you think about yourself and the decisions you make is what’s most important,” she added.
