Whoopi Goldberg Admits To Recent Weight Loss Drug Use
The View can not stay away from controversy. This is especially true of the forever outspoken and extremely opinionated Whoopi Goldberg. It appears Goldberg can not control the things that come out of her mouth. She went as far as to admit she recently used drugs.
It Was Oprah Who Started The Touchy Conversation
Leave it to Oprah Winfrey to get someone to pour out their secrets. The touchy conversation started when The View‘s panel was discussing Oprah Winfrey’s most recent special about weight loss and weight loss drugs. Whoopi Goldberg brought up the Winfrey special herself.
“Do you agree that more people are finding hope in taking their weight more seriously as a health issue?” Whoopi asked.
Whoopi Goldberg Explained Her Recent Drug Use
During the discussion about Oprah Winfrey’s latest special about weight, weight loss and weight loss drugs,, Whoopi Goldberg made a revealing admission. “I will tell you, I weighed almost 300 lbs.,” the talk show host admitted.
“One of the things that helped me drop the weight is Mounjaro. That’s what I use,” Whoopi Goldberg explained.
The hosts of The View were quick to add how Oprah had not admitted to using any form of drugs to lose weight. They were just as quick to add Oprah also did not deny using drugs for her recent weight loss.
Why Did Whoopi Goldberg Use Mounjaro?
Mounjaro is an injectable drug. It is the brand name for another medication known as Tirzepatide. This drug is typically used to treat Type 2 diabetes. Many people also use it to help them reach their weight loss goals. Because of this, it is very similar to the medication Ozempic. With Mounjaro, Whoopi Goldberg found a way to lose weight.
Depending on the specific medication typical used for diabetes, using it for weight loss can be considered to be “off-label usage.” The term “off-label usage” simply means doctors prescribe it for other things it was not originally created to treat. This happens with many medications, not just medications created and manufactured to help control diabetes.
Sunny Hostin Had Her Own Admission Too
Sunny Hostin also came clean during this segment of The View. Like Whoopi Goldberg she admitted to using Mounjaro. Neither one of the hosts revealed how long they took the drug. They also did not mention the dosage they took of Mounjaro.
Sunny Hostin revealed she had gained 40 pounds. She said this was at the height of the COVID-19 pandemic. It was Mounjaro that helped her lose the weight she had gained.
Tell us what you think. How do you feel about medications for diabetes being used for weight loss? Do you believe this is a healthy and safe way for people to lose their extra weight? Sound off in the comments with all your experience with and thoughts about using drugs to lose weight.
