In her podcast, Oprah Winfrey discusses her experience with GLP-1 drugs like Ozempic and Wegovy, revealing how this medication transformed her understanding of body weight and food behavior. She realized that the perception of thin people having more willpower was misguided; instead, she identified that they simply lack intrusive hunger thoughts, which she labeled as 'food noise.' Oprah emphasized that the mindset of eating when hungry and stopping when full does not apply to those struggling with obesity, a disease she openly addresses as part of her ongoing challenges with weight.
One of the things that I realized the very first time I took a GLP-1 was that all these years I thought that thin people - those people - had more willpower.
After starting on a GLP-1, I came to believe that 'willpower' was in fact an absence of intrusive hunger thoughts, which is often called 'food noise.'
They're eating when they're hungry and they're stopping when they're full. That mindset doesn't work if you have obesity.
Every week [I was] exploited by the tabloids, anytime any comedian wanted to make fun or make a joke about it, they would make a joke about it.
