Actress Rebel Wilson has shared her experience with the type 2 diabetes drug Ozempic, which she used for weight loss during her health journey. Wilson, who has been open about her efforts to lose weight, took the medication briefly but is no longer using it. She has emphasized that the drug is not a "magic pill" and that her weight loss involved a comprehensive approach, including dietary changes and increased physical activity. She embarked on a "year of health" in 2020, during which she lost 80 pounds following a high-protein, low-sugar diet, and long walks.

Wilson's motivation to lose weight was initially sparked by a fertility doctor's advice that it could improve her chances of successful in vitro fertilization (IVF). In her upcoming memoir, Rebel Rising, set to release on April 2, she details her personal struggles with body image, self-esteem, and her relationship with food. The actress has advocated for a healthy lifestyle that addresses emotional well-being and has advised against young women striving for unrealistic body standards. She credits her weight loss to not only her dietary and exercise regimen but also to addressing emotional eating and maintaining a positive self-image.
