Ozempic weight loss: Why is everyone talking about it?

Isobel is not alone in pausing her pursuit of weight loss through traditional means to take a bite of this new rather attractive ‘shortcut’.

That Ozempic, and its sister brands Wegovy and Rybelsus, can help you get lean by suppressing appetite has been whispered about in exclusive circles for the past year.

Then, in September, talk show host Andy Cohen broke rank when he tweeted that celebrities were mysteriously ‘showing up 25 pounds lighter’ all of a sudden, and joked: ‘What happens when they stop taking #Ozempic?’

The rumours that it had become Hollywood’s best-kept secret for staying in shape without so much as lifting a dumbbell were made weightier by The Guardian who reported that a number of musicians and actors had told them they ‘personally’ knew high-profile people using it.

A much-discussed Variety article from September shed more details: A-listers were ‘quietly singing the drug’s praises’ on the encrypted messaging app Signal, paying $1,500 for a month’s supply, with it now an accepted part of the preparation for red carpet events alongside hair and make-up.

Such is the hush-hush nature of the medication that it remains unknown who among the rich and famous has dabbled – bar, unsurprisingly, Elon Musk who responded to questions on Twitter about his newly slimmed-down physique by crediting ‘fasting’ before adding ‘and Wegovy’.
