Great conversation
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
And it helped Oprah, too. She shamelessly lies whenever it fits her agenda. These new wt-loss drugs are game changers for many who have tried everything else. Lying about not using them will be attaching shame to their use. We shouldn't do that.
Did insurance pay for ozempic?
Did it really it just curbs your appetite
I think she is telling the truth, Oprah has never had any problems telling the truth about all the weight loss stuff that she has tried, why start lying now, that would not make any sense.
yes@@RuReady115
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.
Are they talking about Ozempic?
Interesting that individuals care about others only at a cost. Why don't you just share this info with people freely 😢
Here's hoping that Oprah gets to read your comment and make conversations on her show that are related to public health free for others to watch and learn from.
very strange video
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. ,
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.
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.
You're right to be terrified. Having weight to lose is not life-threatening and doesn't warrant the same serious considerations in pharmaceutical treatments. For diabetics, and pretty much every other human being on the planet, strength training and gaining muscle mass is protective against most lifestyle diseases, regardless of the amount of fat we carry. There are no side effects (other than good ones) to getting stronger. Strength training is not just an activity people do to look good, it's becoming a (quality of) life-saving activity. It's 100X easier to lose fat when you have good amounts of muscle mass.
don't take Ozempic. It has devastating side-effects! A healthy diet and exercise that feels good for your body and enough sleep are enough! Also: women are meant to have fat, it helps us balance our hormones.
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!
Not true for everyone.
What a hypocrite... She always talked about accepting your body ...
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 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?
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.
we all have a soul. and most of the time our soul is unwell. but the soul is not going to get better with ozempic.
I guess obesity would be considered a disease if you truly have been constant in your efforts to control it and continously fail.😊
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
As someone who can't afford to watch the full conversation, why is weight loss not calories in / calories out?
I don't get it.@@qol4ever
Metabolic issues, thyroid problems. Many reasons.
maybe all the drugs americans put into their bodies
I think it’s highly personal. Many of the fat activists I follow don’t agree with or appreciate the “obesity is a disease” messaging. Also, many found The Whale highly stigmatizing, and expressed that its portrayal of fat people was offensive and harmful. I would’ve loved to see Oprah discuss this with a more balanced panel of experts including fat activists, instead of just thin-privileged doctors and CEOs of weight loss companies.
@@shannonsmith3717 I think the takeaway was to try to eliminate fat shaming because people think it’s a choice, plain and simple. It’s way more complicated than that and people need to realize that. It’s humiliating for a person with weight issues to have to go around defending themselves because people are calling them out for eating too much. And I feel sad for those people that are seeing addressing obesity as a disease being stigmatizing. Having any condition that one is struggling with is courageous. The Whale , in my opinion was not stigmatizing at all. It was highly compassionate and try to give people a window into what some people struggle with.
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.
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!
Ya but let's be real here. While everything you said is true it is way more nuanced than just " starve yourself" to skinny. Skinny bitch became a term for a reason. They're freaking hangry. The bigger convo that isn't happening is our food systems and our culture. We drive everywhere, eat overly processed foods daily, half of us then have jobs where you sit all day. In return the fitness world responds with eat tons of meat, shove supplements down your throat, buy this or that shake and do weights. Now let's be very clear that this is solely for looks. Most in the fitness world aren't actually healthy. Yet somehow us Americans can't seem to be bothered to stop and wonder... why don't many other cultures and countries have these problems? How come their significantly healthier without all the stuff? We need to start over from scratch because we messed all of it up.
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!
I now realize that O can lie...said she lost weight from special diet and walking ..Wow..now she's saying she takes a drug but won't give medicine..I feel sad for her
Why does she not name the medication? I find this unbelievably shady!
@@rahelkamber4839she must be careful was she endorse. There’s a lot of legality for someone in her space. Also they not want her endorsement
She has to be careful about endorsing a company and maybe they don’t want her to say the name because they don’t want her endorsement. This is a medical thing and they are so many legalities that go with that. and if you watch the credits, it says that everything that talked about is not a reflection of the show that’s presenting it.
You do have to eat right and walk even though you’re taking those things or they won’t work for you. That’s just like someone that has diabetes and on this medicine they still have to eat right and do certain things in order for it to work properly and that I know from family experience, also Oprah cannot go around endorsing everything that drug will sell out in minutes. She’s actually being wise by not doing that so people can do their own research and what works for them and maybe the company don’t want her endorsement. This is a medical thing, and the legalities of it are far more than surface.
Everybody lies but esp celebrities. They are asked questions that the normal person wouldn’t be asked so they lie like most ppl would tbh.
Oprah has championed a number of weight loss attempts, yet each failed....respectfully, her pushing new one wreaks of the mighty dollar.
and destroys her credibility
She resigned from weight watchers and donated all her shares to charity and African American arts museum so she can do her ABC special on weight loss without conflict of interest. She has nothing to gain. She's been struggling publicly like all of us for decades, WW worked for her (for me too) but as holder of the obesity gene we/she will always gain the weight back and will always struggle. Ozempic helps with that.
@@brightblonde3508it absolutely does not
Totally, her whole life has been focussed on weight, she's made billions of dollars, but all she's ever wanted to be is skinny, I hope that makes her happy now.
We evolve and grow as we learn new things. When she learns new things she get experts to help us navigate for ourselves.
Only fairly wealthy can sit around and talk this much BS. For god sake.
Has Oprah donated any money to the residents of Maui yet? They could have used the money weeks ago...
Have you sent money. Every amount is helpful.
@@beverlycampbell1443 Not a good analogy Bev. First I don't live there. Second I am not a billionaire. She did nothing, and she will never live this down. She can not ever again make a video where she will not be shamed for giving NO MONEY the first month when people really needed it. Lol. I can only imagine what the residents of Maui think of her. Disgusting, and you are disgusting for trying to stick up for her. Shame on you.
Ok she donated 10 million floats she ain’t saving the world get off her
Probably not
@@beammeupscotty6516 Yeah that aint going to happen. I have disliked this women for over 20 years, she is also a liar about her genealogy. Disgusting liar. Because you just annoyed me there beam I will post about her on every KZhead video that mentions her for the next week in overdrive.
For goodness sake use your will power & the best thing to do is start intermittent fasting & eat healthy no drugs needed!!!
Intermittent fasting really does work
