Key Takeaways
- She believes that using medication has facilitated her weight loss journey.
- She added healthy diets and exercises to her daily routine.
Winfrey Hopes to Minimize The Stigma Of Taking Drugs To Maintain Weight
Oprah Winfrey struggled with weight throughout her career and was often criticized by the public.
She said, “It was public sport to make fun of me for 25 years. I have been blamed and shamed, and I blamed and shamed myself.”
Winfrey has lost significant weight, which she credits to medication, incorporated with regular exercise and a healthy diet.
GLP-1 medications such as Ozempic and Wegovy have always been associated with stigma.
Having a public figure like Oprah with such a huge fan following would help bring these issues to the forefront.
“The fact that there’s a medically approved prescription for managing weight and staying healthier, in my lifetime, feels like relief, like redemption, like a gift, and not something to hide behind and once again be ridiculed for,” Winfrey stated.
Along With Medication, Her Healthy Diet And Exercises Helped Her Lose Weight
The WeightWatchers director since 2015, Oprah, uses the WW program to help her maintain a healthy diet.
Her daily meal routine includes her last meal at 4 O’clock, drinking a gallon of water per day, and using the WW principles of counting points.
In WW’s point system, points decrease when an individual consumes foods rich in fiber, protein, and unsaturated fats. Conversely, points increase when the food contains added sugars and saturated fats.
Winfrey started her weight loss journey after she underwent knee surgery in 2021. She used to look out of the window of her house in Hawaii and say, “God, one day I want to walk up that mountain.”

Working towards her goal, she added a workout regime that had more than just hiking in her daily routine.
She starts with cardio exercises, including jogging, rowing, stair climbing, elliptical exercises, or treadmills, followed by strength training exercises.
One truth about Oprah is that she doesn’t love to work out but still does it.
“I think everyone’s waiting to love it,” she stated. “You’re not going to love it, but you do the thing you need to do to make yourself feel whole and well.”
