Oprah on What We Get Wrong When It Comes to Weight Loss Conversations 

Are you going to talk about the corporations that causes the obesity disease i.e. food corporations that have gotten us addicted to processed foods, or jobs that are so stressful that we have to depend on fast, processed foods to get through the day?

yes Oprah the obesity problem is the food we eat aswell the lack of care for our self and others😮

Why Lie? For over 40 years and right before our eyes, she had the best dietitians and trainers who worked with her but she could not loose the weight. Now in a short time she looses some 100 pounds and claims diet and exercise. Wy not tell the truth?

It’s the US food to pharma pipeline… 😒Focus on healing your childhood issues/trauma, connect with your family and friends, get in nature, listen to your body, stop worshiping celebs and comparing yourself. ❤️

So is Oprah on one of the drugs? I am after years of dysfunction in trying to lose. I need a hip replacement and my new Ortho surgeon and primary physician decided this would be the best way to lower my BMI for surgery. I am happy that they assured me it was safe and working with me to resolve the weight. I'm grateful to my amazing doctors. And the medicine has given me a new way to think about food. I'm just not hungry and the only craving I have is veggies, and beautiful salads and fish. I'm good. I wasn't able to walk from the stiffness in my hip. I'm walking really well and I lost 21 pounds in 3 weeks. I was 319 pds when I started🙏🏾my success as I continue the journey.

Many people struggle with losing weight and keeping it under control due to the consumption of the legal drug alcohol. After I quit drinking, I was able to get my weight under control. It's important to note that there is no safe level of alcohol consumption; it has been linked to an increased risk of various physical and mental diseases and conditions. **Physical diseases and conditions:** 1. **Cancer:** Alcohol consumption is associated with an increased risk of several types of cancer, including breast cancer, liver cancer, mouth cancer, throat cancer, esophageal cancer, and colorectal cancer. 2. **Liver Disease:** Heavy drinking can lead to liver diseases such as fatty liver, hepatitis, and cirrhosis. 3. **Heart Disease:** Alcohol can increase the risk of high blood pressure, heart attack, and stroke. 4. **Pancreatitis:** Chronic alcohol consumption can cause inflammation of the pancreas. 5. **Gastrointestinal Problems:** Alcohol can cause gastritis and increase the risk of developing ulcers. 6. **Fetal Alcohol Syndrome:** Consumption of alcohol during pregnancy can lead to fetal alcohol syndrome, which causes physical and developmental problems in the baby. 7. **Weight Gain and Obesity:** Alcohol is calorie-dense and can contribute to weight gain and obesity. 8. **Weakened Immune System:** Excessive alcohol consumption can weaken the immune system, making the body more susceptible to infections. **Mental diseases and conditions:** 1. **Schizophrenia:** Alcohol use can exacerbate symptoms of schizophrenia and other psychotic disorders. 2. **Dementia:** Chronic alcohol use is associated with an increased risk of dementia and cognitive decline. 3. **Depression and Anxiety:** Alcohol can worsen symptoms of depression and anxiety. 4. **Alcohol Withdrawal Syndrome:** Stopping alcohol consumption abruptly after heavy use can lead to withdrawal symptoms, which can be severe and include tremors, hallucinations, and seizures. 5. **Alcohol Use Disorder:** Chronic alcohol consumption can lead to addiction and dependence, characterized by an inability to control drinking despite negative consequences. Additionally, alcohol consumption can impair judgment, coordination, and reaction times, increasing the risk of accidents and injuries. Quitting alcohol not only helps with weight control but also significantly improves overall health and reduces the risk of developing these serious physical and mental health conditions.

I always ask myself why if these people have so much money they still have the need for more? Also, I wonder why they can not die? So many people died everyday for many reasons but apparently the bad people can get away longer that we wish.

The individual who is capable of obesity experiences a rise in insulin when a high reward (high carb) food is simply observed. This promotes craving, consumption, and fat storage. So yes, if I look at an insulin triggering food, that prepares me to store fat for the purposes of reproduction and survival. By replacing the carbs in my diet and using resistance training to promote insulin sensitivity, I healed my obesity 15 years ago.

This was good but a teaser I would pay to hear the full discussion! In the meantime, I will look up each doctor to see what videos and online resources they offer.

Thanks,, appreciated

Oprah took ozempic So much for honesty You used to preach BE PROUD OF YOUR BODY DONE LISTENING TO YOU

Generational wealth must WATCH 💯

Family movies from 1960 -- not one person was overweight, in fact they all look skinny to me. What's changed? THE FOOD QUALITY. FACTORY FARMS. Why is this a mystery?

Majority of Americans do not walk! Driving everywhere with your car will not burn calories! And even if you are on a 2000 calories a day diet you will still gain weight if you do not burn those 2000 calories a day! And the highly processed food and high calorie meals are not helping! Even people in Vietnam do not walk a lot and they are the least obese nation on the planet but they eat a healthier diet!

Talk about type 2 diabetes and how ozempic is needed by so many who now are having difficulty obtaining the drug because of celebrity vanity

My piehole is controlled now with Ozempic as I never had any self control over FOOD. "My choice of drugs is FOOD", she has said many times.

Oprah, which ones are you using? Glad WW is acknowledging new science👍🏼👍🏽👍

there does not seem to be many people in India, Bangladesh, Myanmar etc who have this problem. In many places in the World, people are starving due to lack of nourishment, lack of food.

what a powerful & enlightening point to stop this video at - this did not have to be a cliff hanger - I think you shorted us of some valuable information!

I don't really use processed foods or junk food. I've never been a soda or juice drinker. The only processed foods I've EVER used are mostly flour and sugar (beet or cane) in small amounts. I've always suffered from over eating or/and obesity as a disease. I over ate as a pencil-thin 14-year-old back in the 70s. All of my siblings (6 brothers) over ate and were thin. Now that my brothers and I are in our 50s and 60s, we are all fighting obesity. The weight loss drugs are the only thing I have found that make me feel "normal." With semaglutide or tirzepatide, I'm able to eat the right amount and only when I'm hungry, even if it's junk food, which it usually isn't. I've even lost my voracious sweet tooth, but I still enjoy a small dessert from time to time. I hope to get to a healthy weight and continue to use the smallest dose of tirzepatide or semaglutide indefinitely for maintenance and overall good health. My insurance doesn't cover them and I'm unemployed, but I felt it was so important that I found a company that provides the less expensive compound tirzepatide. I cashed in my measly amount of Social Security early, just so I can have these medicines for the rest of what I hope to be, a long and healthy life.

I was going to comment before seeing the video and goddamn I was right. Someone commented how such a successful person does not have the will power to lose weight, like you don’t know other famous successful people who lost their weight. Yes Oprah does not have the will power to do, she said it her self “you see me diet and diet “ these journey is about consistency if you go on and off you will never lose it, yes some people lose weight easier or build muscle easier, everyone is different some will have to put extra effort. The point is don’t find excuses like these panel tried to show you and Oprah here definitely used her weight and her supposedly struggles to get views. All you have to do is stay consistent to a plan this is the most important when you understand that this is not a video game and one day you will find the final boss but it’s forever , you will get there . Ps yes am a personal trainer

Where is the rest of the show

I have had the same struggle with weight. I can literally eat next to nothing to maintain being slightly overweight. Its absolutely nuts

Another Awesome video Thanks Much Love ❤❤❤

For those who want to watch the entire show. It will be on Hulu 3-19-2024

Imagine a world where Oprah builds a kingdom, and the world still thinks her weight struggles were a matter of will power. That’s the world we have lived in. Thank you Oprah for your voice in the obesity community!

Where is the rest of the conversation?

Finally, someone said it

Is adequate nutrition an issue for some on new weight loss drugs who are barely eating?

She said" taking this drug is the easy way out" She lied

Such a thoughtful, powerful discussion. So necessary and informative. I was hoping Oprah would share details regarding her own recent journey in weight loss and health. Appreciated Sima's candor and WW commitment to learning and goals for an individualized approach for their plans.

Thank you so much for this Hamie…God bless you & your cause 💕💖

It’s a disease you catch in the grocery store aisle

Boa dia Opraha Winfrey eu só Victoria eu gosto muito do seu trabalho Deus ti a bênção e toda a sua família e sua vida. 👍🐕👩‍🎓❤

Eat less food and move more, are these people delusional?

Obesity kills more than malnutrition does ? Paradoxical...is it because malnutrition is not a brain thing ;brain-oriented or, unlike obesity,there is nothing to be stored in the body ? Sadly,l didn't know obesity is a disease but thought it's just a threat. Good sensitization 👌

The reference to her husband is also that men and women store fat differently

Terrified of taking a drug for diabetes if i am a non-diabetic. Yet I'm torn since if i had cancer, i would take any drugs to help that.

Where can I watch her shows? Is she still doing talk shows?

Oprah looks amazing at 70! Go girl!

How do you have a serious conversation about obesity in America, and the world, without ever saying the words "insulin resistance" or discussing the fact that the Dietary Guidelines were never, and still aren't, based in evidence? How do you square the very clear skyrocketing numbers of obesity in 1980 with claiming every case is a genetic issue? This did nothing to educate or reverse the situation. Continuing the horrible and debunked advice to "eat less and do more, just do it with our drugs" to be not just shameful, but a damaging disservice to everyone who struggles with weight. Not to mention the other intertwined epidemics of heart disease, non-alcoholic fatty liver disease, type 2 diabetes, mental health conditions and Alzheimer's that have been the result of telling the entire world to eat up to 80% of calories from carbohydrate. All of which very clearly started skyrocketing in 1980 after the first official Dietary Guidelines told us to turn our way of eating upside down. This was shameful, not because overweight and obese people should be shamed, but because it was completely lacking in evidence, ethics and common sense. But you sure made those smiling drug companies happy with this long form drug ad.

But we also need to watch what we eat. Sometimes you need to starve your body when it craves.

Pcos!!! Causes weight gain! Certain medications will too. Not always food.

I like that Oprah touched on the idea of obesity sometimes being as a result of food compulsion/addiction, similar to alcoholism. I found that this was my problem in the end, but it was so severe I would binge eat sugar non-stop. My best friend would go to the WC and I'd quickly steal biscuits, he'd come back to find me with my mouth full of food. It was funny and ridiculous. In the end it got so bad I went to Overeaters Anonymous (basically AA, but for compulsive eating). I think not all people are not as far gone and so can learn to moderate with things like Weight Watchers (WW), but there's those who like me ended up having to treat it like an addiction to recover from it!

The Carnivore lifestyle is the optimal diet.

The only person allowed to talk is very similar to OPRAH

Not all ppl that's overweight stem from eating!!! Ppl need to educate themselves!

Shut up Ophra!!

Please 🙄 shared this too late Should have shared it before you pranced around allowing everyone thing she was counting points

I totally agree! that oprah used/using ozempic. As far as why she won't admit to it here's my theory. She always said she want to lose weight the natural way. So if she admits to using ozempic ppl will call her out & she don't want to here from the naysayers.

Yes it seems so stressed cannot get it off....this flubber..Thank you Oprah & the doctors for this data!! Ms Winfrey next video can you talk about the mushrooms church people are eating to make service better..heard it on NPR!

Oprah..Please tell us what is finally working for you…owning part of Weight Watchers didn’t work for you….

Love Oprah

Great video! Very informative. Thanks Oprah!

Actually the Headlines are about how generally Horrible you are to the Native Hawaiian people. Just sayin😅

Can anyone take these drugs? Probably but most can't afford it and health insurance doesn't cover it. Must be nice to be rich!

Oprah did you wish the princess of wales heartfelt sympathy . Stress is a cause of cancer, she was put under tremendous stress .

Oprah... shoot the med ball like a basketball

LOL love the way she backed away from why it's a disease. Still makes no sense.

Ain't y'all tied of her yet.

SNAKE!

☄️☄️☄️☄️☄️🧅

Why would someone as completely clueless about weight management as Oprah be offering advice on that subject? If you did the exact opposite of what she said, presumably you would lose weight.

Oprah, put your money where your mouth is and help people get affordable access to these medications

Hello Beauty hope all is well with you love you 🌹🌹🌹❤✌️😇😊

Opera is Devil incarnation

💕💕💕💕💕🥰✌🏽❤️🤓

Everyone in the comments section also seems to be suffering from mental health issues seeing how y’all are projecting your negativity, envious and poisonous thoughts and opinions. Oprah is an educator and I always welcome her opening our minds.

I'am not alone it make me feel sometimes anger But is good to know how the brains

Sick of Elitist bish lecturers. If I had a personal chef cook for me on the daily. I too could lose weight on my own.

Give ya money to Maui! Stop asking struggling people for cash.

GIVE MAUI BACK THEIR LAND

Trying to find excuses for her shame to use ozempic

A low fat vegan diet is the best solution. You really have to decide to make permanent changes, if you want permanent change.

It’s called misinformation at its finest

She’s a f…… billionaire!

Epstein. You forgot to mention Epstein.

She should stick to attacking the British royal family.

Esploited by yourself.

SHAME!!!!

someone wanted some attention

The audacity of this snake!

Will you EVER get tired of talking, and tired of talking about yourself?? There are REAL issues and problems in this world Oprah. So very self-centered. It's shameful.

I call BS. Your body doesn't want to go back to a certain weight. You don't want to give up the food to stay at a healthy weight. If you're eating healthy, moving more, your body is not gonna go back to that certain weight!

My God, can you really be this ignorant.

Oprah ruined Weight Watchers.

She lost weight bc she's 70 years old

Blah blah blah blah blah. Oprah, no one cares anymore. Shame on you for using ozepic and taking it away from diabetics who needed it..... I once loved you, but I have lost all my respect.DONE..

Simple fact addiction is a choice.

Third world countries has no weight problem. There is not enough food. It’s that simple. Has anyone seen a fat person from one of these countries?

Oprah you have to accept ppl. for who they are. Acceptance for themselves. Oprah you have been making billions from pushing Weight watchers & now Ozempic!!! Who are you kidding???🤔 Your pushing your own agenda. Ppl who are over weight doesn't mean they are not healthy....

Shame on you Oprah for exploiting Hawaii people's stiuation

😇🙏🌌🌬️🦾
