Once filming season 17 of The Real Housewives of Orange County wrapped, Emily Simpson was advised to make use of the Type-2 diabetes medication by her physician.
“The doctor was similar to, ‘There’s this latest weight reduction drug and it’s just been FDA approved and it’s great. I believe it might really show you how to lose some weight and you will feel higher and you will find a way to get figuring out again and feeling more like yourself,'” she shared in July. “And I used to be like, ‘OK, sounds great.’ I did that in December. It was great for my weight loss plan. It really just kickstarted me into eating higher and eating healthier ’cause it makes you’re feeling like crap ’cause nothing tastes good.”
But Emily noted she only took the medication for a short time frame. Now, she credits hitting the gym seven days a week for her latest slimmed-down look.
“The thing that bothers me essentially the most is that when people comment on the way in which that I look, they continually say, ‘Ozempic, Ozempic,'” she explained. “And it’s like, yes, I did use that nine months ago, but I do not like that it discounts all of the exertions I put in. No less than gimme credit for seven days a week, getting up at 6 a.m. every morning and busting my butt within the gym each day.”
