Are you going to talk about the corporations that causes the obesity disease i.e. food corporations that have gotten us addicted to processed foods, or jobs that are so stressful that we have to depend on fast, processed foods to get through the day?
Last time she did that she got sued by the beef industry.
Right… people are so scared to talk about it. 🤔
Thank you!!! The food to pharma connection is so deep!!
We have gotten OURSELVES addicted to processed foods and fast foods. It’s not impossible to give those things up and make better choices. I’ve done it.
Choices consequences 🤷🏽♀️you are accountable for thy self
Family movies from 1960 -- not one person was overweight, in fact they all look skinny to me. What's changed? THE FOOD QUALITY. FACTORY FARMS. Why is this a mystery?
We don’t cook our own food anymore, we also eat a lot of processed foods, and we aren’t active anymore. It’s not just the food quality.
People got off their dead asses and MOVED back then too. Now people are coach potatoes.
Yes I was a kid but everyone was slim however we did not eat all day, 3 meals a day, then do other things. Nobody ate while driving or watching tv, we ate at the table. Also no giant bottles of coke or bags of chips, etc.
The only time we had a soda was when it was somebody's birthday. Now a days, I know people who start their mornings with a giant sugared carbonated beverage. You can't convince me, that it's due to a disease.
It’s the US food to pharma pipeline… 😒Focus on healing your childhood issues/trauma, connect with your family and friends, get in nature, listen to your body, stop worshiping celebs and comparing yourself. ❤️
Does listening to your body also included proper diet and exercising every day? Just asking.
Worship the Lord Jesus, then get outside and be healthy.
yes Oprah the obesity problem is the food we eat aswell the lack of care for our self and others😮
Why Lie? For over 40 years and right before our eyes, she had the best dietitians and trainers who worked with her but she could not loose the weight. Now in a short time she looses some 100 pounds and claims diet and exercise. Wy not tell the truth?
40 lbs and she is taking semiglutide
Off 200 pounds, 160 ?she looks like size 6 the most that is 125-130. Good for her @@lamantharichardson8778
Its shame
Oprah took ozempic So much for honesty You used to preach BE PROUD OF YOUR BODY DONE LISTENING TO YOU
Be obese & proud?
So people can't change? Be more educated, newly informed on science? Come on.
@rgomoffat hello I am an RN and have Diabetes So many people taking these drugs who are NOT diabetic are going to see changes when they stop Of course people change we all can But she is a TRUTH FINDER yet was not open with this issue Just makes you wonder why she didn't scream it from the hills what her secret was I can tell you're educated🎖
When did she lie? And which one is she taking Wegovy, Ozempic or the other one?
@krimsonedit3272 She never admitted to taking this diabetic drugs which I am a diabetic She said she just exercised and limited eating My endocrinologist is outraged about people taking these drugs who are NOT A diabetic Good luck
I always ask myself why if these people have so much money they still have the need for more? Also, I wonder why they can not die? So many people died everyday for many reasons but apparently the bad people can get away longer that we wish.
This was good but a teaser I would pay to hear the full discussion! In the meantime, I will look up each doctor to see what videos and online resources they offer.
The individual who is capable of obesity experiences a rise in insulin when a high reward (high carb) food is simply observed. This promotes craving, consumption, and fat storage. So yes, if I look at an insulin triggering food, that prepares me to store fat for the purposes of reproduction and survival. By replacing the carbs in my diet and using resistance training to promote insulin sensitivity, I healed my obesity 15 years ago.
Because of your great success, you could probably start announcing it, and somehow make money from it, or at least be an influencer and encourager
Thanks,, appreciated
So is Oprah on one of the drugs? I am after years of dysfunction in trying to lose. I need a hip replacement and my new Ortho surgeon and primary physician decided this would be the best way to lower my BMI for surgery. I am happy that they assured me it was safe and working with me to resolve the weight. I'm grateful to my amazing doctors. And the medicine has given me a new way to think about food. I'm just not hungry and the only craving I have is veggies, and beautiful salads and fish. I'm good. I wasn't able to walk from the stiffness in my hip. I'm walking really well and I lost 21 pounds in 3 weeks. I was 319 pds when I started🙏🏾my success as I continue the journey.
Yes, she's using one of those drugs. After promoting WW for years saying 'eat in moderation whatever you want'
Generational wealth must WATCH 💯
Eat less food and move more, are these people delusional?
I was going to comment before seeing the video and goddamn I was right. Someone commented how such a successful person does not have the will power to lose weight, like you don’t know other famous successful people who lost their weight. Yes Oprah does not have the will power to do, she said it her self “you see me diet and diet “ these journey is about consistency if you go on and off you will never lose it, yes some people lose weight easier or build muscle easier, everyone is different some will have to put extra effort. The point is don’t find excuses like these panel tried to show you and Oprah here definitely used her weight and her supposedly struggles to get views. All you have to do is stay consistent to a plan this is the most important when you understand that this is not a video game and one day you will find the final boss but it’s forever , you will get there . Ps yes am a personal trainer
My piehole is controlled now with Ozempic as I never had any self control over FOOD. "My choice of drugs is FOOD", she has said many times.
Talk about type 2 diabetes and how ozempic is needed by so many who now are having difficulty obtaining the drug because of celebrity vanity
So how haters gonna hate once the drug is produced in mass quantity and there is enough for all?
You can always ask your doctor to change your diabetic medication. You don’t have to take ozempic. Just change to metformin or something. 🤷🏽♀️🤷🏽♀️Obesity is is the cause of any diseases. This is a life threatening subject. Stop being selfish and keep strolling.
Yes plus the price going up ots not her invention it's been out
My husband had to wait a month to get life saving medication for his diabetes I will shame and blame all these lazy and entitled people
Majority of Americans do not walk! Driving everywhere with your car will not burn calories! And even if you are on a 2000 calories a day diet you will still gain weight if you do not burn those 2000 calories a day! And the highly processed food and high calorie meals are not helping! Even people in Vietnam do not walk a lot and they are the least obese nation on the planet but they eat a healthier diet!
what a powerful & enlightening point to stop this video at - this did not have to be a cliff hanger - I think you shorted us of some valuable information!
If you can’t afford the $35 then say that. Don’t criticize a woman that HIRES people and has massive overhead to cover.
there does not seem to be many people in India, Bangladesh, Myanmar etc who have this problem. In many places in the World, people are starving due to lack of nourishment, lack of food.
Oprah, which ones are you using? Glad WW is acknowledging new science👍🏼👍🏽👍
hey there I came across your comment and I just had to reach out and say hi. Your perspective really caught my attention and I would love to get to know you better. Would you be interested in chatting sometime? Looking forward to hear back from you!
@anna-mariebooth2160 - Be very leery of responding to John Williams. He has messaged multiple women on this thread using EXACTLY the same wording, AND, he only set up his KZhead channel on September 3, 2023. I think he is a scammer targeting women.
WW is the healthiest diet and because Oprah has admitted to using the shots to lose her weight, WW is taking the hit for it. Not fair! If someone wants to lose weight they need to cut their portions in half and move more and the weight will come off. People using these shots are hurting people who need them for diabetes. It's an easy way out!
Imagine a world where Oprah builds a kingdom, and the world still thinks her weight struggles were a matter of will power. That’s the world we have lived in. Thank you Oprah for your voice in the obesity community!
Absolutely!!!
One of the side effects of Ozempic is CANCER!!! and other major side effects. Before you ever think about taking ANY Of these weight loss drugs Oprah is pushing look up the side effects. please for you & your famlies sake. then look up the Keto diet and carnviore diet. Endless number of people are doing these diets and are getting off of not only diabetes Rx drugs, all of their Rx drugs but, also losing massive amounts of weight and healing their body. sea y...t chan: Shawn baker md podcast (tons of testimonies of people losing 100+ pounds in 6-8 months and breaking their food addiction), Kelly hogan (she lost 100+ pounds), Carnviore dante freedom (he lost 90 pounds his transformation is amazing just like Kelly hogan's), Steak and butter gal, Dr Mindy Pelz, Dr ken Berry, Dr Boz, Dr Berg, Dr eckberg, Home stead how (he has a ton of interviews too with incredible transformations). Drugs have side effects. NEVER FORGET THAT. Eat properly and you will lose not only weight, get of Rx drugs, heal your body but, also break your addiction to sugar & carbs. Your library will have books on both the keto diet and carnivore diet. Many people go back and forth between both of these diets and including fasting (which heals the body faster see Dr Mindy pelz vids) Seriously look into these. This is better for you VS taking a drug that list CANCER as a side effects!!!
@@starshanae80both of you are ignorant I have many rich clients who don’t really have the will to work out or be careful about their diet, it doesn’t matter and use this as an excuse
Unfortunately Oprah also promoted that it was Will Power (morality)...glad she is fixing her own part in it...wish she'd address her part in it though...yet I admire her none the less.
@@emocean582 interesting
For those who want to watch the entire show. It will be on Hulu 3-19-2024
No thanks....
Another Awesome video Thanks Much Love ❤❤❤

@@amylou1238 Thanks he sounds like a swindler..No Time or patience for BS
Such a thoughtful, powerful discussion. So necessary and informative. I was hoping Oprah would share details regarding her own recent journey in weight loss and health. Appreciated Sima's candor and WW commitment to learning and goals for an individualized approach for their plans.

Oprah has connections with child trafficers she is evil shame on her!!
Her african students keep disappearing parents are not allowed to see their kids for more than few minutes a month, she is evil

Where is the rest of the show
It’s just an infomercial. Don’t bother.
Terrified of taking a drug for diabetes if i am a non-diabetic. Yet I'm torn since if i had cancer, i would take any drugs to help that.
Opera is Devil incarnation
🪴🐰🧑🏿🍑♠️
Where is the rest of the conversation?
You have to wait until Oprah become the spokesperson
Boa dia Opraha Winfrey eu só Victoria eu gosto muito do seu trabalho Deus ti a bênção e toda a sua família e sua vida. 👍🐕👩🎓❤
Is adequate nutrition an issue for some on new weight loss drugs who are barely eating?
No when I do eat I eat a balanced meal
Oprah looks amazing at 70! Go girl!
I have had the same struggle with weight. I can literally eat next to nothing to maintain being slightly overweight. Its absolutely nuts
Right. It's only part of the story to call obesity a brain issue. Its much more complex than that. I am not part of the population that over eats. I'm meticulous about what I eat. I eat Whole Foods, organic veggies, some fruit, pasture raised meats, no processed carbs, no sugar. I drink wine a few glasses a week...I exercise. Weight train, interval train, etc. I am mildly medically obese. There really are people that do not over eat and are overweight. So while the brain is involved of course (it's involved in everything) there is what is happening on a cellular level that is not discussed. Ozempic unfortunately isn't the answer. It's only slowing stomach emptying...leading you to significantly under eat. I don't think that the general population will start talking about weight from a cellular viewpoint for 20 years or so. In the meantime, having people look at you and assume you are lying is just a tad frustrating.
I’d like to see you look at food differently. Instead of looking at food as some kind of reward, look at food as necessary to sustain life. Enjoy what you do eat but eat really healthy. Learn to enjoy vegetables if you don’t already.
Thank you so much for this Hamie…God bless you & your cause 💕💖
I like that Oprah touched on the idea of obesity sometimes being as a result of food compulsion/addiction, similar to alcoholism. I found that this was my problem in the end, but it was so severe I would binge eat sugar non-stop. My best friend would go to the WC and I'd quickly steal biscuits, he'd come back to find me with my mouth full of food. It was funny and ridiculous. In the end it got so bad I went to Overeaters Anonymous (basically AA, but for compulsive eating). I think not all people are not as far gone and so can learn to moderate with things like Weight Watchers (WW), but there's those who like me ended up having to treat it like an addiction to recover from it!
Did Overeaters Anonymous work for you?
It helped me a lot!!!@@hm2011100
I have been in overeaters for 37 years and yes it does work if you do the work
GIVE MAUI BACK THEIR LAND
It’s a disease you catch in the grocery store aisle
Finally, someone said it
Where can I watch her shows? Is she still doing talk shows?
Obesity kills more than malnutrition does ? Paradoxical...is it because malnutrition is not a brain thing ;brain-oriented or, unlike obesity,there is nothing to be stored in the body ? Sadly,l didn't know obesity is a disease but thought it's just a threat. Good sensitization 👌
It’s been considered a chronic disease since 2013.
@@somethingsaboutstevie Thank you for that priceless information
Obesity is a chronic disease!
But we also need to watch what we eat. Sometimes you need to starve your body when it craves.
Not all ppl that's overweight stem from eating!!! Ppl need to educate themselves!
She said" taking this drug is the easy way out" She lied
The reference to her husband is also that men and women store fat differently
Pcos!!! Causes weight gain! Certain medications will too. Not always food.
Love Oprah
🙄bye
Shes connected with child trafficing, keeps her african school girls disapiering and keeps them like prisoners not allowed to see their parents only for 5 minutes a week, now Maui disaster using as self promoting platform to sell her book and also buying out 860 acres of land now, i would not be suprised if she had that place burn down to build her new Epstein island for her child abusing clients

Oprah... shoot the med ball like a basketball
How do you have a serious conversation about obesity in America, and the world, without ever saying the words "insulin resistance" or discussing the fact that the Dietary Guidelines were never, and still aren't, based in evidence? How do you square the very clear skyrocketing numbers of obesity in 1980 with claiming every case is a genetic issue? This did nothing to educate or reverse the situation. Continuing the horrible and debunked advice to "eat less and do more, just do it with our drugs" to be not just shameful, but a damaging disservice to everyone who struggles with weight. Not to mention the other intertwined epidemics of heart disease, non-alcoholic fatty liver disease, type 2 diabetes, mental health conditions and Alzheimer's that have been the result of telling the entire world to eat up to 80% of calories from carbohydrate. All of which very clearly started skyrocketing in 1980 after the first official Dietary Guidelines told us to turn our way of eating upside down. This was shameful, not because overweight and obese people should be shamed, but because it was completely lacking in evidence, ethics and common sense. But you sure made those smiling drug companies happy with this long form drug ad.
Great video! Very informative. Thanks Oprah!
The only person allowed to talk is very similar to OPRAH
SNAKE!
The Carnivore lifestyle is the optimal diet.
Give ya money to Maui! Stop asking struggling people for cash.
It was all planned
I even think she burned it down so she can expand her land
She did give over 10 million dollars do your research or shut up
@@beammeupscotty6516Thank you. Most the people that are criticizing her and the Rock trying to help having given anything except for criticism, gossip and judgement!
Please 🙄 shared this too late Should have shared it before you pranced around allowing everyone thing she was counting points
She probably was counting points. She couldn’t have lost weight by over eating. She has taken herself off the Weight Watchers board, by the way to be more genuine.
I totally agree! that oprah used/using ozempic. As far as why she won't admit to it here's my theory. She always said she want to lose weight the natural way. So if she admits to using ozempic ppl will call her out & she don't want to here from the naysayers.
Or to simplify it. Oprah started using Ozempic because she could then devour a hole Christmas ham without gaining weight. I mean....why work for it?
She has admitted it
I'am not alone it make me feel sometimes anger But is good to know how the brains
It’s called misinformation at its finest
Shut up Ophra!!
I call BS. Your body doesn't want to go back to a certain weight. You don't want to give up the food to stay at a healthy weight. If you're eating healthy, moving more, your body is not gonna go back to that certain weight!
That’s not true for some people at all.
Ain't y'all tied of her yet.
Oprah..Please tell us what is finally working for you…owning part of Weight Watchers didn’t work for you….
I know.... what a slap in the face for Weight Watchers.

SHAME!!!!
Everyone in the comments section also seems to be suffering from mental health issues seeing how y’all are projecting your negativity, envious and poisonous thoughts and opinions. Oprah is an educator and I always welcome her opening our minds.
LOL love the way she backed away from why it's a disease. Still makes no sense.
Oprah did you wish the princess of wales heartfelt sympathy . Stress is a cause of cancer, she was put under tremendous stress .
Sick of Elitist bish lecturers. If I had a personal chef cook for me on the daily. I too could lose weight on my own.
A low fat vegan diet is the best solution. You really have to decide to make permanent changes, if you want permanent change.
Why would someone as completely clueless about weight management as Oprah be offering advice on that subject? If you did the exact opposite of what she said, presumably you would lose weight.
Actually the Headlines are about how generally Horrible you are to the Native Hawaiian people. Just sayin😅
Oprah, put your money where your mouth is and help people get affordable access to these medications
Can anyone take these drugs? Probably but most can't afford it and health insurance doesn't cover it. Must be nice to be rich!
Trying to find excuses for her shame to use ozempic
someone wanted some attention
Shame on her, connected with child trafficing
She’s a f…… billionaire!
The audacity of this snake!
Epstein. You forgot to mention Epstein.
Esploited by yourself.
She should stick to attacking the British royal family.
Will you EVER get tired of talking, and tired of talking about yourself?? There are REAL issues and problems in this world Oprah. So very self-centered. It's shameful.
My God, can you really be this ignorant.
She lost weight bc she's 70 years old
Oprah ruined Weight Watchers.
Simple fact addiction is a choice.
Personal responsiblity is important but we know that if you live in a place where there are a lot of fat people, you're more likely to be fat simply because that's what seems normal to you. We are social animals and thus are highly influenced by environment.
@@Smithpolly It's called choice period. There's social habbits and then theres obesity/unhealthy weight gain. If what your saying is that weight gain to an unhealthy standard is a social thing then you clearly missed the mark. In america being fat is normal. That doesnt mean that it's not a choice. you can easily eat less or just eat healthier substitutes but people dont and you know why? It's cause when you get fat you become lazy and most of the people that follow quick weight loss fads aren't mentaly strong enough to prepare to lose weight or even research how weight loss and weight gain works. also its a habbit or simply you can say that its an addiction to food in obcene quantity. Weight isn't an environmental thing it's purely up to the genetics and the mental fortitude of the person to stay at a healthy weight. Also that one thing that people who folllow these things have in common, it's that they make excuses for their shortcommings to make themselfs feel better about their obsessions and faults. The simple fact about weight loss is that it takes effort, consistency and hard work . Im sorry that you believe in the excuses that society makes you beloieve about yourself. Hopefully you get on a journey in finding better health or you can have a heart attcak within the next 10-20 years
@@jakobsmith3266 Have you made the assumption that I'm overweight?
Blah blah blah blah blah. Oprah, no one cares anymore. Shame on you for using ozepic and taking it away from diabetics who needed it..... I once loved you, but I have lost all my respect.DONE..
Third world countries has no weight problem. There is not enough food. It’s that simple. Has anyone seen a fat person from one of these countries?
Shame on you Oprah for exploiting Hawaii people's stiuation
SHAME ON HER!!! SHAME!!
