This video didn’t mention drugs at all so I question the title

This is the first time a drug can be used safely for weight loss that is not a stimulate. So that means great profits.

Tell the truth Oprah…I have the same body as you..tried many years…just like you..many year suffering on weight watchers…OZEMPIC finally helped me

[Sunny-ilxm]

Once they start finding how unhealthy these drugs are for quick weight loss, then their conversation will change once again. As soon as they stop with the drugs, weight back on!

[mocsaiorsolya]

What a hypocrite... She always talked about accepting your body ...

[msdixieblues]

Very torn about this since if i had cancer and drugs could help me, i would immediately start them. Yet I'm terrified about taking a drug for diabetes since I'm not a diabetic and I'm scared of those side effects.

Interesting that individuals care about others only at a cost. Why don't you just share this info with people freely 😢

Problem is the food that we all in North America are consuming daily. You either have to eat lots of vegetables and salads, and small portions of high density carbs, plus exercise. People consume too many high density carbs. Mankind is no longer required to hunt daily for food, or run away from lions and tigers etc. We lead a more sedentary life, and consume huge amounts of bread, sugar and salt in processed food. Take a look at the boxes on grocery store shelves and see how much sugar, sodium and unhealthy fats they contain. These ingredients contribute over time to this Obesity that is present everywhere. No wonder doctors are now making obesity a disease, because it is the precursor for diabetes, heart disease, hypertension, cancer etc. Go to the source. Start eating differently. Vegetables, and salads, fruit, low quantities of bread, whole grain cereal….not processed cereal like corn flakes. Eat sweet potatoes, fish, chicken, other lean protein sources. Use butter, not margarine, which is an unhealthy fat. Drink at least 6-8 glasses of water to flush your kidneys. Most of all increase your activity level with some form of exercise. Pills can only work for a short time. It’s not the answer.

What about all the episodes Oprah did with Stacey Halprin? How did Oprah present her obesity through the years? Would be interesting to go back and see how Oprah presented obesity in those interviews.

I struggle but went to 2 family doctors and ignored despite all my coworkers went there. Both doctors made me take all kinds of blood tests and xrays first but then did not help me. I felt bias in both cases. All my coworkers got diet pills and plan but I was just told figure it out. I know my stress is eventually eating too much and have problems with eliminating. I have been told very pretty but overweight a lot.

I just saw the t.v. special regarding the weight loss drugs. What were no men mentioned? Are these drugs limited to use for women only?

[Eyestars]

I guess obesity would be considered a disease if you truly have been constant in your efforts to control it and continously fail.😊

[ThatBearHasMoxie]

I used to weight 350lbs. Here's an idea stop "mollycoddling" people with words like, "right size", "thick", "chunky" or "shame". Call them what it is, FAT! Sometimes you have to hurt people's feelings to get them to put the effort into getting a result. I'm tired of people normalizing obesity.

[jackvalley]

For truly obese people these "Glp1 Agonists" are life saving. This is not a bunch of B.S. As any prescription a Doctor offers to give you if you are unsure, be honest and thank them, but tell them you would like to do your research before committing to the prescription. I just did this myself, and my Doctor agreed that is a good thing to do when any person is unsure

Hmmm interesting discussion. I think food addiction is much like alcoholism. Some people have also sought out ozempic to help with alcohol cravings. I think Oprah had it right the first time when she said the drugs were a cop out. Staying sober is a lot like a food addict staying at a healthy weight….it’s a hard journey but it can be done without the use of medication. If you take the journey without the help of medication, you will change your behavior by changing internally which is a far greater gift than just not drinking or just being skinny. I think Oprah changed her tune for the quick fix and dollars that will come from integrating telehealth/semaglutides into WW program.

[rahelkamber]

What are they talking about?? What medication are they talking about? Ozempic is highly problematic, which Oprah should know! This sounds very fat-shaming to me and also not very healthy! I'm shocked!

[latoyalatty]

All it takes is putting your body in a caloric deficit consistently. It is all about discipline! "Without commitment, you'll never start. But more importantly, without consistency, you'll never finish.
Denzel Washington. Don't be fooled all diets work you just have to outlive the old you to get to the new you!

[mr.beautiful]

As someone who can't afford to watch the full conversation, why is weight loss not calories in / calories out?

[kristinetank]

And nothing can be done for the average overweight person....for we can't afford the drugs.

[Charlie-mbil]

Oprah has championed a number of weight loss attempts, yet each failed....respectfully, her pushing new one wreaks of the mighty dollar.
