<\/p>\nSHARON Osbourne has always been very honest about her weight loss issues.<\/p>\n
In September 2023, the TV star unveiled her new slimmed down look, leading to fans wondering how she did it.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Sharon Osbourne has admitted to using the drug Ozempic, known to help weight loss, in order to achieve her new figure.<\/p>\n
The controversial drug is traditionally used to reduce the risk of heart attacks in adults with heart disease.<\/p>\n
It is also used to help lower blood sugar levels in people with Type 2 diabetes.<\/p>\n
However, some people are using it for weight loss, despite the fact the drug is not made for this use.<\/p>\n
Experts have warned that you shouldn't be taking the drug if you haven't been prescribed it by a doctor.<\/p>\n Diabetes UK stated: "It is not a medication for people who do not have diabetes or are at risk of type 2 diabetes."<\/p>\n Meanwhile, in the late 90s, Sharon lost 100 pounds after she had a gastric band fitted.<\/p>\n In an interview in September 2023, Sharon revealed that she had shed over 40 pounds whilst taking Ozempic.<\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n Speaking to E! News, she said of her weight loss: "In my life, the heaviest I was 230 pounds and I'm now under a hundred. <\/p>\n "And I want to maintain at about 105 because I'm too skinny. But I'm trying to have a healthy balance."<\/p>\n Also, speaking with Piers Morgan, Sharon revealed: "I lost 42 pounds now and it's just enough. I didn't actually want to go this thin, but it just happened, and I\u2019ll probably put it all on again soon."<\/p>\n Describing the side effects of using Ozempic, Sharon went on to recall: "At first, I mean, you feel nauseous.<\/p>\n "You don't throw up physically, but you've got that feeling. It was about two, three weeks where I felt nauseous the whole time.<\/p>\n "You get very thirsty and you don't want to eat. <\/p>\n "That's it. That's why I keep saying you've got to keep this stuff away from younger people because they will go berserk on it, and it's not right."<\/p>\n She also said that she no longer uses the drug, and added: "It's just time to stop, I didn't actually want to go this thin but it just happened."<\/p>\n Reflecting further on her experience on Good Morning Britain in November 2023, Sharon confessed she "could do with putting on a few pounds" as she issued a warning about Ozempic.<\/p>\n Speaking to GMB hosts Ben Shephard and Kate Garraway she said: "I fear for teenagers… I'm scared for those aged 16 to 20 as it's so easy to take it and think 'I can eat what I want'. <\/p>\n "It needs to be in the hands of only people who totally understand it.<\/p>\n "I don't want young girls… the world we live in today means everyone wants to be skinny."<\/p>\n Sharon then added: "I could do with putting on a few pounds but my body isn't"<\/p>\n When asked in the same GMB interview about what her husband Ozzy Osbourne thought about her weight loss, Sharon said: "He's scared, he doesn't like it.<\/p>\n "He's scared something is going to happen to me. 'This is it, you've got skinny – something it going to happen'… <\/p>\n "He's always thinking about the downside and think it's too good to be true."<\/p>\n<\/p>\n![](\"https:\/\/www.thesun.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/RB-COMP-SHARON-FACE-2-1.jpg\")
