Oprah Weight Loss Secret: Diet, Exercise And No Ozempic
Oprah Winfrey's recent appearance at the 2023 Academy Museum has sparked admiration and curiosity regarding her slim figure.
The media mogul stunned in a sparkly sequined Dolce & Gabbana dress at the annual fundraiser, where she was honored alongside Meryl Streep, Michael B. Jordan and Sofia Coppola Sunday night.
Following the event, social media buzzed with comments about Winfrey's weight loss, with users eager to know the secret behind her physical transformation.
Winfrey has been open about her health and fitness journey, attributing her weight loss to a balanced combination of diet and exercise.
Oprah Winfrey attends the Academy Museum of Motion Pictures 3rd Annual Gala Presented by Rolex at Academy Museum of Motion Pictures on Dec. 3, 2023 in Los Angeles, California.
Her diet, as outlined on Oprah.com, involves consuming about 1,700 well-balanced calories daily, distributed among three meals and two snacks.
It emphasizes 50% "good" carbohydrates, 30% fats (mostly healthy ones) and 20% proteins, with a focus on fresh, simple and nutritious foods.
Winfrey also makes sure to consume about 34 grams of fiber and 1,100 milligrams of calcium every day.
According to her website, the media mogul follows a comprehensive exercise regimen, including 45 minutes of aerobic exercise six mornings a week, consisting of activities like power walking on a graded treadmill, jogging, elliptical exercise, stair-stepping, or rowing.
She also does another 20 minutes of any of the above exercises four or five evenings a week.
Winfrey runs for 75 minutes on the remaining morning of the week.
Additionally, she engages in strength training four or five times a week for 30 to 40 minutes and incorporates abdominal work into her routine.
Having struggled with weight throughout her career, Winfrey became a Weight Watchers ambassador in 2015, praising the program for its effectiveness and flexibility.
At the time, Winfrey, who weighed 237 pounds at her heaviest, said in a press release obtained by Hello! magazine that she lost over 40 pounds after following the program.
Winfrey previously admitted that she wrestled with the idea of using the celebrity-loved weight-loss drug Ozempic but ultimately refused as she wanted to achieve results through her own efforts.
In September, Winfrey addressed the trend of weight-loss drugs during a panel discussion with obesity specialists.
Explaining why she did not use them, she said, "Because if I take the drug, that's the easy way out."
She highlighted the societal pressure and tabloid scrutiny she faced for years, emphasizing her determination to achieve her health goals without resorting to pharmaceutical interventions.
While Winfrey has been candid about her weight loss journey, rumors about potential plastic surgery have circulated.
Both Winfrey and her close friend Gayle King, editor-at-large for O, The Oprah Magazine, have vehemently denied these speculations.
