Carnie Wilson Shows Off 40-Lb Weight Loss And Says ‘People Don’t Believe’ That She Didn’t Use Ozempic And Simply Cut Out Sugar And Gluten

Carnie Wilson Confirms She Did Not Use Ozempic For 40-Lb Weight Loss

In an interview with Page Six earlier this year, Wilson confirmed that she did not and will not go down the Ozempic and weight loss injections route, as the risks are just too great for her. She said: "Possibly back in the day, yeah. Not now though. It's not for me, definitely not. I know it works for some people. I was too afraid of the side effects. For me, I just – I didn't want to take a chance."

"And it's funny because people are shocked," Wilson continued, before going on to say that people don't believe that she didn't use weight loss drugs to achieve her new slimmer frame. "It's like they don't believe me. They're like, 'Oh, can anyone say Ozempic?' And I'm like, 'I didn't do that.'"

Carnie Wilson Said Her Doctor 'Warned' Her About Using Ozempic For Weight Loss, And She Was Ultimately 'Too Scared' To Try It

Wilson also addressed the Ozempic allegations in an interview with Fox News Digital published earlier this year. "I personally was too scared for any side effects, gastrointestinal side effects," Wilson said regarding drugs like these.

She continued: "My doctor warned me. He said, 'This is an option if you want to do it, but I am warning you that it has not been around enough for the way many people are using this, and that is for weight loss.'"

The musician (who also lost 100 lbs. via gastric bypass surgery in 1999) dished to the publication that her doctor had informed her of other patients experiencing serious side effects from using Ozempic, ultimately deterring her from trying it.

Carnie Wilson Discussed Her 'Strict' Diet Plan: 'It's Working And I Just Feel Better'

Earlier this year, Wilson also sat down with Entertainment Tonight co-host Nischelle Turner to discuss her healthy and "strict" diet plan even further. "It was like a voice that said, 'You're done. You're done eating the food that makes you feel like crap,' you know, and I've never eaten this way in my whole life, but I'm kind of looking at it like my sobriety, which is like just one day at a time," Wilson shared.

She continued: "Just for today, I'm not gonna eat this dessert or even a taste of it. I mean, I'm really being strict." Wilson pointed out that "something switched" for her recently, and said that "the weight is just shedding off naturally" after she made changes to her daily menu.

"The way I eat is like corn tortillas, not flour. I eat brown rice, I eat some rice, I eat plenty of tortilla chips and guac," Wilson revealed. She also told Turner: "I'm going to eat what I want, but I just don't eat sugar or gluten and it's working and I just feel better."
