An exclusive interview with Burruss was published on Page Six’s podcast, ‘Virtual Reali-Tea. The conversation revealed that Burruss is on a weight loss journey and is prioritizing her fitness in 2024.
The former ‘RHOA’ revealed that she also tested the diabetes-turned-popular weight loss drug Ozempic in 2023.
“Last year, I tried it… and I had saw so many people that were trying it, and they were losing weight, so, I was like, ‘Okay, I’m going to try this,’” Burruss recalled. “And I didn’t lose any weight.”
People began to tell Burruss that something was wrong or that she needed a higher dosage.
“And, you know, my doctor was like, ‘I don’t know what the problem is. I’m not seeing this in other people,’” Burruss explained.
According to the former ‘RHOA’ star, the medication failed to curb her appetite. Additionally, Burruss revealed that if one takes a look at her online presence, one will discover that she actually grew in size between the summer of last year and the present.
Burruss talks about her failed results.
Burruss explained that she now realizes that Ozempic “doesn’t work for everyone”. The way her body responded to the medication initially discouraged her.
“The sad thing about it is when you see it work for other people and it doesn’t work for you, it makes you depressed,” the 48-year-old said. “…It makes you feel like, ‘What’s wrong with me? Why is it not working for me?’”
She resumed her poor eating habits after deciding not to “worry about it”. She explained that she decided to resume her journey after forgetting about her weight loss commitment.
“I’m feeling good,” she said about her current weight loss plan. “I talked to a trainer, and he’s putting together a good workout plan for me. While I’m on tour, I’m going to make the most of the gyms at the hotels, and I’m going to work out so many days a week, stick to… eating correctly, and… see how it goes.”
She explained that she is now focused on getting back to her ‘best self’.
Another reality star recently opened up about their weight loss journey.
The reality star who opened up about their weight loss journey isn’t the only one. As previously reported, earlier this month, Flavor of Love star Deelishis posted a video of herself dancing in her home.
A fan responded to the clip with a question about her weight loss.
“Why u losing so much weight @iamsodeelishis,” they wrote.
Deelishis responded that she decided to cut back on processed food, and her weight naturally dropped off.
Deelishis took to Instagram Live to discuss her health in more depth and why it’s important for her to prioritize it as she ages.
