Rebel Wilson admitted that she lost 30 kg on Ozempic

Actress and stand-up comedian Rebel Wilson admitted that she used Ozempic, a type 2 diabetes drug that is widely used for weight loss by healthy people, to lose weight. The drug helped the 44-year-old actress lose 35 kilograms in 2020.

“For people like me, with uncontrollable sugar cravings, these pills are useful,” the actress told The Sunday Times. She previously said that she lost weight through eating right and working out.

Rebel Wilson also admitted that her entourage did not want her to lose weight, since the film industry benefited from her image of a “fun fatty”, and she agreed with this. Everything changed in 2019, when the actress decided to have a child: the doctor who performed IVF advised her to lose a few kilograms in order to get pregnant: this is how Rebel began to lose weight. As a result, she was able to lose 35 kilograms, but Rebel Wilson had a child through surrogacy only in 2022.

Interestingly, the star's former trainer John Castano, who worked with her during the pandemic, publicly criticized Ozempic and those who use it a year ago, calling it a "vicious", "dangerous" and "lazy" practice that should be avoided at all costs . The effect of the drug "Ozempic" is based on the fact that a person stops feeling hungry. But according to trainer John Castano, it's best to consult with a nutritionist and create a menu that takes into account your basic caloric intake. This will contribute to the formation of a healthy lifestyle.

The drug was originally developed to treat type 2 diabetes, but doctors also prescribe it to treat other diseases, including obesity. The use of Ozempic as a weight loss drug has led to a worldwide shortage, which is especially worrying for diabetics who need it.

The active ingredient in Ozempic is semaglutide. Thanks to the effect of “turning off” the feeling of hunger, stars began to use it to lose weight: Kim Kardashian, Elon Max, Oprah Winfrey and many others admitted to it. Also, some celebrities who have lost weight quickly recently have become suspected of taking this drug, even if they deny it.

As the popularity of Ozempic grows as a means of weight loss, the drug is found to have various side effects - from problems with the digestive tract to unplanned pregnancy.
