Kathy Bates Clarifies Ozempic Role in Her 100-Pound Weight Loss

The acclaimed actress emphasizes her lifestyle changes, revealing Ozempic was used for the final 20 pounds after years of diet adjustments.

Kathy Bates lost 80 pounds over seven years through diet and lifestyle changes before using Ozempic for an additional 20-pound loss.
Her weight loss journey began after a 2017 type 2 diabetes diagnosis, which motivated her to overhaul her eating habits.
Bates stresses that her weight loss was primarily due to hard work, particularly during the pandemic, and not solely reliant on Ozempic.
The actress has experienced health benefits beyond weight loss, including improved symptoms of lymphedema.
Bates hopes her story will inspire others, drawing parallels to the impact of her role in 'Misery.'
