Tracy Morgan claims he is prescribed Ozempic and that it is cutting down his weight and appetite in half.
Tracy Morganhas been taking measures to improve his health and recently shared what factors into his weight loss. During an interview, Morgan shared that he is taking Ozempic and that is the reason he has lost significant pounds.
In 2017, Ozempic was approved by the F.D.A. for use in adults with type 2 diabetes. It is a weekly injection that helps lower blood sugar by helping the pancreas produce more insulin. There are many adults that have also been taking Ozempic for weight loss. In this sense, it has worked with the brain to suppress appetite and slow food movement through the stomach and digestive track. All in all, it helps people consume less food therefore losing weight.
Morgan is a comedian and actor who has starred in films such as Little Man, The Longest Yard, and TV show The Last O.G. While Hollywood stars often hide the fact that they are taking medications, the 54-year-old Morgan opened up about his experience and attributed Ozempic to his weight loss.
During an appearance on Today with Hoda & Jenna, Morgan was asked about working on his body and his response was simple:
“No, that’s Ozempic.”
