In recent months, the Oprah Winfrey has been more open about her weight reduction battle, even revealing that she takes a weight loss medication.

“I now use it whenever I feel I need it, as a tool to manage not yo-yoing,” she previously stated. “The fact that there’s a medically approved prescription for managing weight and staying healthier, in my lifetime, feels like relief, like redemption, like a gift, and not something to hide behind and once again be ridiculed for.”

She has supported folks who take Ozempic, a Type 2 diabetes medicine, although not mentioning it directly.

“You all know I’ve been on this journey for most of my life,” she blurted out. “There is a contrast between attitude and what we are presently hearing. “The brain tells you one thing about how you process food versus willpower.”

She’s recently focused on her health and fitness regimes.

“After knee surgery, I started hiking and setting new distance goals each week,” she told me. “I could eventually hike three to five miles every day and a 10-mile straight-up hike on weekends.”

In addition, she changed her nutrition.

“I eat my last meal at 4 o’clock, drink a gallon of water a day, and use the WeightWatchers principles of counting points,” she said. “I was aware of [weight-loss] drugs, but I thought I needed to prove I had the resolve to use them. I no longer feel that way.

And now she is receiving the rewards.

“I felt stronger, more fit and more alive than I’d felt in years,” she told me. “I worked quite hard. I know it doesn’t work for me unless I’m also working out and staying on top of everything else.”
