Actor and comedian Tracy Morgan revealed he's experienced the opposite intended effect of weight-loss drug Ozempic, gaining 40 pounds after taking it.
While others have credited their sudden weight loss to Ozempic, Tracy Morgan claims his experience with the popular yet controversial drug has had the opposite effect. During an appearance on Tuesday's episode of 'The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon,' the comedian and actor revealed that he's actually gained 40 pounds while on Ozempic. 'I’ve learned to out-eat Ozempic. I out-ate Ozempic. I’ve gained 40 pounds. I’m like Magic Johnson.
In 2023, the '30 Rock' actor opened up about hopping on the Ozempic train during an appearance on the 'Today' show. When asked about his fitness journey, the 'Saturday Night Live' alum said, 'That’s how this weight got lost. I went and got a prescription and I got Ozempic. And I ain't letting it go!' Morgan told the hosts his weekly injections would cut his appetite 'in half.' 'Now I only eat half a bag of Doritos,' he said.
In December, Winfrey discussed her struggles with losing weight over the years, telling People, 'I’m absolutely done with the shaming from other people and particularly myself.' '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,' she said. 'Obesity is a disease. It’s not about willpower – it's about the brain.
In November, Osbourne - who started using Ozempic in December 2022 - told the Daily Mail of her experience, saying she was 'too gaunt and I can’t put any weight on.' 'Be careful what you wish for,' said Osbourne, who admitted to weighing less than 100 pounds at the time.
