American talk show legend reveals, “I was on the treadmill today too”
Without using Musk’s Ozempic… Lose weight ‘only through exercise’
Oprah Winfrey, the ‘living legend’ of American talk show history, attracted attention by revealing that she had overcome the temptation to go on a simple diet using ‘Ozempic’, a type 2 diabetes treatment drug spread mainly among Hollywood stars, and lost 40 kg through natural methods.
Oprah Winfrey, who recently attracted public attention with her diet, attended the premiere of the movie ‘Color People’ held at the Academy Film Museum in Los Angeles on the 6th (local time) and said that she contemplated using medication to lose weight, but ultimately decided to lose weight through her own efforts. He said he chose it.
After recently undergoing knee surgery, he decided to lose weight through his own efforts rather than the easy way. In the past, Winfrey has experienced losing weight through various methods, including a super fast diet through eating substitute foods and an ultra-luxury diet by spending a large amount of money and receiving expert help. However, he has been obsessed with dieting his entire life and has repeatedly experienced success and failure.
Oprah Winfrey revealed that the secret to dieting is ‘doing everything, not just one thing.’ And he said, “I was on the treadmill today too,” emphasizing the need to change one’s lifestyle and maintain a healthy life.
Meanwhile, ‘Ozempic’, a type 2 diabetes treatment that Winfrey was considering using, contains ingredients similar to the GLP-1 hormone secreted when eating food, which induces satiety and reduces food intake. Tesla founder Elon Musk also chose Ozempic as his diet secret, and it gained sensational popularity as it became public knowledge that celebrities in the United States were using Ozempic. Ozempic has currently been improved as an obesity treatment and is being sold under the name ‘WeGobee’.
Dr. Daniel Guillam, who runs a large plastic surgery clinic in California, where many famous Hollywood celebrities live, said in an interview with The Guardian, “Literally everyone is using Ozempic. “Everyone, even people who have never said they use it,” he said, referring to Ozempic’s popularity.
However, Ozempic can cause side effects such as nausea, diarrhea, and dizziness. In addition, caution should be exercised when using Ozempic, as cases of suicidal thoughts due to Ozempic, as well as eating disorders and sagging skin due to rapid weight loss, have been consistently reported.
In September, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) announced that more than 265 cases of side effects, including suicidal thoughts, were reported after taking GLP-1 drugs from 2010 to June 2023. The European Medicines Agency (EMA) has extended its investigation into the relationship between Ozempic and suicidal thoughts, which began in July, until April of next year.
