Comedian Amy Schumer has revealed exactly what she has done to lose weight and how it impacted her.

In a recent chat on Andy Cohen’s show, she said that she’d dabbled with the drug Ozempic with the aim to shed some kilos.

“I was one of those people that felt so sick and couldn’t play with my son. I was so skinny,” she explained.

Schumer said that she ultimately gave up on the drug because it wasn’t “liveable for her,” and she wanted to be able to run around with her child.

The comedian also revealed that rumours that celebrities use Ozempic to lose weight are absolutely true.

“Everybody lying! Oh, smaller portions like shut the f*** up. You’re on Ozempic or one of those things, or you got work done. Like just stop, be real with the people,” she vented.

While plenty of people online claim they use Ozempic for weight loss, it isn’t a drug that was even created for that purpose.

The Therapeutic Goods Administration explained it is still a prescription-only medicine and should only be determined as an appropriate treatment option in consultation with a medical practitioner.

The ARTG has approved Ozempic solely for treating type 2 diabetes after evaluating of its quality, safety, and efficacy.

Schumer’s Ozempic confession shouldn’t be a surprise because she’s always been very transparent about the measures she’s taken to lose weight and the pressures she’s faced from Hollywood to be a certain size.

In 2022 after becoming a mum for the first time, she revealed on Instagram that she’d undergone the cosmetic procedure liposuction.

Liposuction is, of course, a procedure that uses suction to remove fat from specific areas of the body,

“Everybody on camera is doing this. I just wanted to be real about it,” she wrote.

Later she dug into her reasoning for going under the knife on fellow comedian Chelsea Handler’s podcast.

“I just wanted to say that, because if anybody sees me in pictures or anything and they’re like, she looks thinner, and whatever: it’s because I had a surgery.

“It’s too hard, and I just want to be real about it,” she added.

Schumer has been honest about her weight since she became famous.

While she’d been a successful comedian for years, she got her big break when she wrote and starred in the hugely successful romantic comedy Trainwreck.

She later revealed on The Jonathon Rose Show that she felt pressure to lose weight for

that role.

“The only change was that it was explained to me before I did that movie that if you weigh over 140 pounds as a woman in Hollywood, if you’re on the screen, it will hurt people’s eyes,” she joked.

“I lost some weight to do that, but never again,” she declared.
