Oprah Winfrey Shows Off Her Ozempic Weight Loss In Gym Gear After Realizing The Truth About ‘Thin People’

Winfrey admitted: "One of the things that I realized the very first time I took a GLP-1 was that all these years I thought that thin people had more willpower." She added: "They ate better foods. They were able to stick to it longer. They never had a potato chip." The producer began taking a GLP-1 and soon understood that what she had once considered "willpower" was, in fact, the lack of persistent thoughts about food, commonly known as "food noise."

The author added: "And then I realized the very first time I took the GLP-1 that, they're not even thinking about it. They're eating when they're hungry and they're stopping when they're full." Winfrey clarified that this method of eating is ineffective for those dealing with the disease of obesity. 

While talking with Dr. Jastreboff, Winfrey also discussed the public shaming she faced regarding her weight throughout her many years in the spotlight. She recalled: "'Every week [I was] exploited by the tabloids, anytime any comedian wanted to make fun or make a joke about it, they would make a joke about it. And I accepted it because I thought I deserved it." However, Winfrey now understands that her size never made her inferior to others and that she did not deserve to be treated that way.

Although Winfrey initially denied using weight-loss medications, she announced in December 2023 that she had used a GLP-1 to lose 40 pounds, stating she was "done with the shaming." Alongside the medication, she also included activities like hiking in her routine to help achieve her weight loss goals.
