Hoda Kotb and Jenna Bush Hager recently lauded Oprah Winfrey. They praised her for openly admitting to using a weight-loss drug.
“First of all, it works for Oprah,” Kotb began. She went on to highlight the importance of Oprah’s honesty, noting that many people secretly use such drugs.
Kotb pointed out that people often hide the truth about their weight loss methods. This secrecy can lead others to feel disheartened, thinking that nothing works for them. She emphasized that diet and exercise aren’t the only factors in weight loss.
“She’s about to be 70,” Kotb added. She marveled at how fantastic Oprah looks as she approaches this milestone age.
The conversation wasn’t just about appearances, though. Kotb, who is 59, also discussed the health benefits of weight loss. It’s not just about vanity, she argued.
Bush Hager, 42, agreed with her co-host. She pointed out that Oprah eats healthily but has faced a lot of scrutiny about her appearance.
“Isn’t Oprah cool?” Bush Hager gushed. She admired Oprah’s honesty in a world where many people hide their weight loss methods.
Oprah recently revealed in a People cover story that she’s been using a weight-loss drug. She didn’t specify which one, though.
Oprah spoke candidly about the relief she felt from using a medically approved weight loss prescription. She saw it as a gift, not something to hide. She’s done with shaming, both from others and herself.
The star of “The Color Purple” also shared her weight goal. She’s aiming for 160 pounds but hasn’t reached it yet.
“It was a second shot for me to live a more vital and vibrant life,” she said. Fans began wondering about her weight loss methods after she showed off her fit physique at the 2023 Academy Museum Gala.
