Results for: Weight Loss

Former adult movie actor Mia Khalifa has admitted to using Ozempic, a prescription drug used to manage blood sugar levels in type 2 diabetes, for weight loss. In response to a social media user’s comment praising her physique, Khalifa stated that she had purchased breast implants and was taking Ozempic.

Ozempic is a brand name for semaglutide, which is also used off-label for weight loss under the brand name Wegovy. Other celebrities who have spoken about their experiences with Ozempic include Elon Musk, Kim Kardashian, Amy Schumer, and Tracy Morgan.

Medical weight loss doctor Sue Decotiis believes that the drug’s popularity is justified due to its effectiveness in helping people lose weight and improve their overall health.

The rise of GLP-1 drugs like Ozempic for weight loss is challenging the body positivity movement, raising questions about societal pressure, unintentional consequences, and the future of body acceptance. Despite the potential benefits of these drugs, their prescription and use raise concerns about health, class, and the pursuit of an unattainable ideal.
