It is natural that people will prefer to be slim and at a healthy body weight as compared to men with excess weight around their midsection or women in their caboose. But that is the case because it is conducive to being healthier and allowing people to enjoy more energy and mobility. To think it is exclusively related to appearance is incorrect, and that was one of the underlying themes in Oprah Winfrey’s recent TV weight loss special. Since Ozempic and Oprah are trending, and that is not surprising at all.

Remember that this a woman who has an incredible amount of sway and influence with people in North America, and to give her credit she is a very caring and philanthropic woman who is genuinely a good person and has put a lot of effort into helping all. If you have ever watched her show the audience is nearly all women and maybe a hermaphrodite wearing capris, boat shoes and lip gloss mixed in here and there, and that indicates the level of kinship that exists between Oprah and her very specific audience.  

Oprah’s TV weight loss special was almost certainly watched by most of that audience, and in it she says how Ozempic Oprah was exactly what she needed to clear the last hurdle in her weight loss journey. That itself is nothing noteworthy, as many people have success losing weight with Ozempic. But more the point was Oprah’s insistence that there should not be a negative light shone on people who choose to start on Ozempic to slim down and get to that healthier body weight for all the right reasons.  

Maintenance Tool 

Watch the special and you might think you would hear Oprah talk about the desire to eat an entire large pizza to herself and wash it down with liters of soda, but that is not the case at all. There is no inference that weight loss injections like Ozempic or Mounjaro can or should be used to allow for a continuation of bad dietary habits while still losing weight. Plus, with Ozempic Oprah it is well known you will not lose weight on Ozempic if you do not eat WAY better and up your exercise levels. It is also helpful to improve digestion if you can. 

Instead, what Oprah was hoping to establish as the big takeaway from all this that for her Ozempic was a ‘maintenance tool’, a means for her to retain her weight loss accomplishments in the face of factors that would have caused her to regain weight previously. She talked about how she was eating right, exercising plenty and rubbing what needed to be rubbed but would still at time ‘unexplainedly’ put some of the weight back on. This sort of meant that the goal line for her weight loss journey kept getting pushed further away, but with Ozempic Oprah was able to prevent this from happening.
