Chrissy Teigen attributes Ozempic, a diabetes medication, to helping her emerge from her profound depression.
Chrissy Teigen, the prominent model and television personality, has disclosed using Ozempic, a Type II diabetes medication, for weight reduction. In candid discussions, Teigen shared her deepseek with the medication, revealing both its benefits and challenges.
Teigen, mother of four including daughter Luna, 9, son Miles, 7, daughter Esti, and sons Wren, both 2, spoke about her struggle with weight post-pregnancy. She revealed that Ozempic aided in losing the excess weight she had gained. However, Teigen also expressed unease about not feeling hungry while on the drug.
Teigen's weight loss on Ozempic was significant, leading to what she described as 'Ozempic blindness,' a term for excessive weight loss. Despite the positive results, Teigen felt frustrated and almost tortured due to her deep-rooted love for food.
In a September 2024 Instagram video, Teigen joked about 'mean' questions about looking 'Ozempic much?' She also shared feelings of being 'released from that captivity' after using the drug. Interestingly, Teigen found Ozempic to be a tool that helped her ditch 'insane' diet 'rules.'
Teigen started using Ozempic after experiencing a stillbirth with her son Jack. She revealed her struggle with food as a model, eating certain foods and throwing them up, but did not consider it bulimia. Teigen used Ozempic for approximately one year, but she did not specify when or why she stopped taking it.
Teigen's experience with Ozempic was not without its challenges. She described the process as forcing herself to eat food for three days, then feeling hungry again on day four and five, only to need the shot again on day six. Teigen also felt guilty about not feeling hungry while on the drug, especially considering her deep love for food.
Despite the challenges, Teigen reconciled her time taking Ozempic by realizing she had been on 'such a bad path in the way she thought about good food.' She no longer felt in a 'deep depression' of seeing her pregnant belly with no baby in it after using Ozempic.
In conclusion, Chrissy Teigen's journey with Ozempic offers a unique perspective on the use of this drug for weight loss. While it has helped her lose excess weight, it has also presented challenges due to her deep love for food. Teigen's openness about her experience serves as a reminder that weight loss journeys are complex and personal, and everyone's experience with weight loss methods can vary greatly.
