Ozempic has more fanfare around it than it would know what do with, and that buzz is even higher now that TV host superstar Oprah Winfrey has stated how Ozempic was a final solution of sorts in her decades long quest to overcome unfortunate struggles with weight loss. Struggles that started early on as she tried not to gain weight while in high school and then early in her career in broadcasting and before she became an icon as a philanthropist and other things, we can admire her for. There is more to Oprah Ozempic here.

As a child Oprah was giving a speech at her school when she announced to the audience that she was beginning to feel like the water buffalo was her spirit animal. Someone in the audience yelled ‘that’s because you look like a water buffalo!’ and pretty much every student from every grade burst into laughter, filling the auditorium with noise. In her recent communique Winfrey says that this was the start of her being teased in school for her weight, and it also caused her to start disliking buffaloes of any sort.  

This of course may not be true, but the most important takeaway here it is along the same lines of what many other less-famous people have been saying; for people who have exhausted every effort in trying to lose weight an Ozempic plan may be the answer they have been looking for and there shouldn’t be any shame in using it. Ozempic can help people with stubborn fat who want nothing more than to drink too much in a bikini and look like dynamite doing it, so the fact that Oprah Ozempic is a thing now is a big deal everywhere. 

Move and Eat Right 

It is important to understand that Ozempic is not a magic bullet for weight loss, and it was not for Oprah either or any of the other celebs who are fine with saying they have used Ozempic and had success with it. They will have similar weight loss success with Zepbound as Tirzepatide is a drug that works very similarly to Semaglutide to promote slowed gastric emptying so that you feel full and satiated longer. This is the biggest part of the reason why you lose weight with Ozempic or Zepbound and it was for Oprah and Ozempic too.  

As she will tell you, you need to use Type 2 diabetes medications that work for weight loss as a complement to your commitment to eating better and getting more regular and vigorous cardiovascular. You need to do this to have Ozempic be effective. Oprah said she easily did more than a thousand yoga classes and went through more runners than a marathoner on treadmills over the years. But it was only when she was able to start on Ozempic that she finally got to what she considers to be a healthy body weight for herself. For Oprah Ozempic was the answer and it is great that she is being so forthcoming about it.
