AceShowbiz - James Corden, the actor and comedian, has been open about his struggles with weight loss. He has had some success with Ozempic, but he recently stopped taking WW (formerly Weight Watchers), claiming it did not work for him.

Corden has said that he has struggled with his weight "basically [his] entire life" and that he has "done every diet under the sun." However, he believes that WW has helped him change his relationship with food and that he feels better and has more energy.

Originally developed to treat type 2 diabetes, Ozempic is now being used off-label for weight loss in both the US and the U.K. The drug works by mimicking the gut hormones that regulate appetite, making users feel fuller after eating. However, it is not a panacea and does not work for everyone. It also comes with side effects such as acid reflux, nausea, and fatigue, and in some cases, it can cause thyroid tumors in rats.

Despite these concerns, Ozempic has become increasingly popular, with over 285 million views on TikTok for the hashtag #ozempic. However, demand has outstripped supply, leading to shortages and a backlash against influencers and celebrities who are taking it ahead of diabetes sufferers.

Some doctors are prescribing Ozempic for patients who have struggled to lose weight from menopause or polycystic ovary syndrome. However, public health experts warn that it is not a long-term solution and that behavioral changes, such as regular exercise and healthy eating, are still necessary for sustained weight loss.
