Sharon Osbourne Lost 42 Pounds on Ozempic and Here's What She Eats in a Day at 73
Sharon Osborne has been on quite the weight-loss journey. She started as far back as 1999 with gastric band surgery, according to PEOPLE. More recently, the celeb went on a course of Ozempic and ultimately lost 42 pounds. The process was challenging for the star—she lost more than she wanted and had a tough time regaining some back.
Now that she's lost her weight and is on maintenance mode, it's essential to have a solid lifestyle plan on deck so she doesn't start to overeat again. This is what Sharon Osbourne eats after losing 42 pounds on Ozempic.
She Battled a Food Addiction
Osbourne dealt with an addiction to food for many years.
"We all have our own little addictions that we do not in moderation but too much, and mine is food. I mean, I am a food addict," the celeb told Entertainment Tonight (via PEOPLE).
She Dealt With an "Eating Disorder"
Osbourne also told E! that she struggled with an "eating disorder."
"It's a mental thing. Sometimes, I would eat to punish myself and then I wouldn't eat to show that I had control of my life. I tried exercising, but I'm too lazy for that," she revealed.
She Took Ozempic
Osbourne took a prescription weight-loss drug—Ozempic—during her health journey. The medication suppresses appetite and promotes significant weight loss.
"I started on Ozempic last December and I've been off it for a while now, but my warning is don't give it to teenagers, it's just too easy," Osbourne shared with Daily Mail in 2023.
She Started the Atkins Low-Carb Diet
One way Osbourne totally revamped her eating habits was by following the Atkins diet, which emphasizes low-carb, high-protein meals.
She told PEOPLE the diet was "unbelieveable," adding, "It gave me structure to a part of my life that I had very little self-control over. I always had bad problems with my weight, flip-flopping all the time, so it's something that taught me to take care of myself."
The Diet Emphasizes Foods Like Fatty Fish, Eggs, and Low-Carb Veggies
According to Healthline, the Atkins diet emphasizes foods like meat (chicken, beef, and pork), fatty fish (salmon, mackerel, and trout), low-carb vegetables (broccoli, spinach, kale, and asparagus), healthy fats (avocado and extra-virgin olive oil), whole grains (oatmeal and brown rice), eggs, full-fat dairy (cheese, butter, and cream), nuts, and seeds.
The Diet Limits Foods Like Sugar, Refined Grains, and Starchy Veggies
Those on the Atkins diet should limit or avoid refined grains (white bread, white pasta, white rice), sugar (soft drinks, ice cream, candy, cakes, and fruit juices), "low-fat" and "diet" foods, starchy vegetables (potatoes), high-carb fruits (apples, pears, oranges, and bananas), and legumes (lentils, beans, and chickpeas).
