Tracy Morgan addressed his experience with ozempic. The comedian who is diagnosed with Type 2 diabetes has the drug Ozempic. This Type 2 diabetes curing drug although is not FDA-approved for treating weight loss many people are using it as a weight losing remedy. During his appearance at the E-News’s at the Garden of Laughs Comedy Benefit in New York City March 27 he opened up about his experience with this drug.
Tracy Morgan said Ozempic did great him
The 55-year-old quipped that he has gained 4 pounds after using this drug to which he later clarified, “That was just a joke, Ozempic did great by me and I was glad to use it.”
“I take Ozempic every Thursday,” Morgan continued. “It cuts my appetite in half.”
Moreover, he showed his sense of humour about raising $2 million for the foundation that helps youth, he added”Now I only eat half a bag of Doritos.”
Needless to say, this medicine has helped him a lot to slim down as he said previously during his appearance on Today with Hoda & Jenna in August. “That’s how this weight got lost,” he said. “I went and got a prescription, and I got Ozempic.”
Moreover, it isn’t Morgan who used this drug as celebrities like Sharon Osbourne and Chelsea Handler also accepted that they once leaned on the medication. Meanwhile, Whoopi Goldberg shared on the March 19 episode of The View she used Mounjaro (also a type 2 diabetes drug) to slim down.
“I weighed almost 300 pounds when I made Till,” she said. “I had taken all those steroids, I was on all this stuff, and one of the things that’s helped me drop the weight is Mounjaro. That’s what I use.”
“My weight has gone and come, and gone and up and down,” the 68-year-old added. “But it’s never been an issue for me because I don’t listen to what other people say about me, so it has never been a problem. It’s a matter of how we treat ourselves.”
The Titanic star Kate Winslet shared her thoughts about the weight loss trend in an interview with The New York Times Magazine published March 3.
“I actually don’t know what Ozempic is,” Kate said. “All I know is that it’s some pill that people are taking or something like that.”
“Oh, my God,” she continues. “This sounds terrible.”
