Kathy Bates addresses her weight loss and ozempic claims
In her recent interview with People, Bates opened up about her fitness journey which led to her losing 80 lbs thanks to her healthy lifestyle and diet. She further progressed and ended up losing another 20 Ibs with the help of the semaglutide drug called Ozempic.
However, the Misery actress was disappointed seeing people giving all her fitness credits to the drug. As a result, she shed light on the matter. She stated, ”There’s been a lot of talk that I just was able to do this because of Ozempic. But I have to impress upon people out there that this was hard work for me, especially during the pandemic. It’s very hard to say you’ve had enough.”
Additionally, Bates shared that she started taking her health seriously in 2017 after being diagnosed with type 2 diabetes. The 76-year-old said that she was eating out of fear and that she was more scared by the fact that diabetes was hereditary in her family which caused her father to amputate his leg.
Subsequently, Bates decided to change her lifestyle upon her niece’s advice. The actress was used to eating junk like Cokes, burgers, and pizza. However, she listened to her body and stopped eating after 8 p.m. Further, Bates spoke up about deciding her workout routine as she finished working on Matlock Season 1. The actress refused to take up a trainer and set up a treadmill at her house. The weight loss also led to a positive effect on her lymphedema symptoms.
With her hard work and dedication, Kathy Bates achieved the unthinkable by losing 100 Ibs. Additionally, she is working with the National Commission on Lymphatic Diseases at the National Institutes of Health.
