Scott K. JamesOprah Winfrey is taking one of those GLP-1 drugs, like Ozempic and Wegovy, to lose weight. And it made her realize what she’s gotten wrong all these years about thin people.
She says, quote, “I thought [they] had more willpower; they ate better foods. They were able to stick to it longer. They never had a potato chip.”
“And then I realized the very first time I took the GLP-1 that, they’re not even thinking about it. They’re eating when they’re hungry and they’re stopping when they’re full.”
Oprah used to think that weight loss drugs were basically the easy way out. But that’s changed. Quote, “I realized I’d been blaming myself all these years for being overweight, and I have a predisposition that no amount of willpower is going to control.
“Obesity is a disease. It’s not about willpower, it’s about the brain.”
