The veteran talk show host has lost nearly 50 pounds with the help of one of the newly popular weight-loss drugs on the market that so many celebs are turning to.

The media icon recently revealed that taking weight-loss drugs like Ozempic and Wegovy, helped her realize the truth about ‘thin people.’

In 2023, Oprah finally admitted to using an undisclosed GLP-1 — a type 2 diabetes medication that can also aid in weight loss — to shed nearly 50 pounds after decades of yo-yo dieting.

The admission came as a shock to fans as Oprah had previously denied using meds to slim down and even went as far as to slam the method as an ‘easy way out.’

But having nearly reached her goal weight of 160 pounds, Winfrey recently shared about her experience taking a GLP-1 and what it has taught her about ‘thin people.’

She did so while discussing the function and safety of these types of drugs with Dr. Ania Jastreboff on an episode of her podcast in January.

‘One of the things that I realized the very first time I took a GLP-1 was that all these years I thought that thin people had more willpower,’ Winfrey confessed. ‘They ate better foods. They were able to stick to it longer. They never had a potato chip.’

But once she started on a GLP-1, Winfrey realized that what she initially perceived as ‘willpower’ was actually an absence of intrusive hunger thoughts — often referred to as ‘food noise.’

'Thanks to @supernovafest_eu and @jurgeningels for my first trip to Belgium, a chance to speak to enthusiastic entrepreneurs, and sample your world famous fries,' she wrote

Ozempic, Wegovy and other GLP-1 medications can help eradicate food noise — which often leads to overeating and weight gain — by reducing cravings and slowing down digestion.

‘And then I realized the very first time I took the GLP-1 that, they’re not even thinking about it,’ the billionaire said.

‘They’re eating when they’re hungry and they’re stopping when they’re full.’

Winfrey explained that that way of eating ‘doesn’t work’ if you struggle with obesity, which is a disease.

‘Every week [I was] exploited by the tabloids, anytime any comedian wanted to make fun or make a joke about it, they would make a joke about it. And I accepted it because I thought I deserved it,’ she explained.

But now, Winfrey said she realizes that her size did not make her ‘less than’ others and that she did not deserve that treatment.

Despite her initial denial about using weight-loss drugs, Oprah declared she was ‘done with the shaming’ in December 2023 when she revealed that she used a GLP-1 to drop 40lbs (18kg).

She also incorporated regular exercise, such as hiking, to help her shed unwanted pounds.

Oprah said undergoing knee surgery in 2021 kickstarted a journey for her to improve her health and live a ‘more vital and vibrant life.’ 

The broadcast icon said she now eats her last meal at 4pm, drinks a gallon of water a day and uses WeightWatchers principles of counting points, along with regular hikes.

She added that her fitness and health routine are integral to maintaining her weight loss saying: ‘It’s everything. I know everybody thought I was on it, but I worked so damn hard. I know that if I’m not also working out and vigilant about all the other things, it doesn’t work for me.’

She said: ‘I had an awareness of [weight-loss] medications, but felt I had to prove I had the willpower to do it. I now no longer feel that way.’
