- Gayle King's best friend Oprah joins the show to get candid about the challenges of losing weight and someone to take tequila shots with. Aired March 20, 2024. #CNN #News
Oprah has tried so many approaches to losing weight, I hear you. She has been a poster child for battling weight loss, and has done it under the microscope. Thank you ❤
She could try eating vegetables and exercising.
Weight loss journey? She took some expensive drug that took no effort whatsoever tsk.
And failed
If you have never had a weight problem it’s hard for some people to show compassion for overweight people.
If you ever looked at the lifestyle of an overweight person you will see that there is a lack of discipline, self control and determination to lose weight. Even if just one of those qualities are missing there will be failure. Losing weight also requires sacrifice. I have a sister whom I love dearly who is very overweight and is always complaining about her weight. However when its time to sacrifice her food choices she fails. She has allowed food to become a reason for living instead of using it as a basic necessity to live. I asked her about fasting and she looked at me as if she wanted to stone me. She turns into a mean unreasonable bull when she wants food. WHen you mention dieting during those moments she'll give you warnings to get out of the way or else.
@@nbagoats4819Have you ever known an alcoholic? Ever witnessed how one drink sends them into a spiral, when it has little effect at all on a nonalcoholic?
Alcoholics who recognize their addiction and want to quit usually go cold turkey, counting their days, months and years of sobriety, starting back at 0 if they have even a sip of alcohol.
A person struggling with obesity and/or food addiction can’t go cold turkey, they have to eat to live so they have to test their willpower every single day, multiple times per day. Imagine if an alcoholic had to have just one sip of alcohol 3 times/day, knowing that it’s their greatest weakness. I’m not saying there isn’t personal responsibility involved in obesity and food choices, but we know that people with alcohol or heroin addiction can fall off the wagon with just one hit. It’s absurd to not acknowledge the similarities in other addiction.
I have sympathy for individuals with weight problems, I just don't think sick people should die and get mamed because of their inability to put the fork and knife down and get up from the table. I have a sister who's overweight, but she turned down diabetic medication, and started working her butt off and eating less, and eating healthier. Find another medication.. We desreve not to become second class citizen because of someone else's poor choices. I think they need help, and deserve help. But I don't think people suffering from diashould pay the price. The solution is simple, it's like if you find yourself in a hole, stop digging. Over eating? Just have some willpower and stop eating so much. It's hard, but it can be done.
Oprah here in Canada the government negotiates with the drug companies to keep better prices. Yes it $250 unless you have extended insurance coverage like me & my cost is $3.00.
Where in the US, there is a shortage, n diabetica re hv trouble getting the drug and I understand that you can't just go off the stuff. I find Oprah'a infomercials and pay day blitz completely distasteful.
You are lucky that you have that presciption before they passed a law in canada if you are not diabetic the insurance companies wont pay
I was just approved for the medication today through my insurance, however, it's between $80 and $580 depending on where I get it filled. It's currently out of stock. It's over $1100 without insurance.
Canada’s government taxes facilitate those prices.
@@manoncoutu3915when was that legislation passed?
Mounjaro is awesome. It needs to be made available to nondiabetics at a reasonable cost. It is life changing.
Thank you for this interview!
lol “you just gave my email out on national television!!!” 😂
lol....right...good thing the producers bleeped it out...Kayle wasn't thinking straight.
I laughed so much😂😂😂😂😂i love people with humour!
Great information. I love this show.
I loved that interview, Charles is hysterical and Oprah was funny as well ,
great interview and hilarious!
I love your show, its authentic
Finally I was waiting for this interview
Oprah will always be one of my all time favorite people. ❤
This interview was educational and hilarious...loved their chemistry.
We love King Charles!
Charles is a delightful man. Love these three. God bless Oprah. Leave Gayle alone folks. I also don't drink except occasionally and people say I'm no fun ha!
When speaking about weight lost drugs, it's good to talk about, the side effects, as well!
Oprah said, Hell No! 😂
I LOVE OPRAH AND GAYLE!
Love Oprah and Gayl. They look amazing. Gayl makes me like Charles, who I thought I never liked.
The greatest TV journalist in TV history, and looks amazing. I love Afro-Americans, the greatest people in the world, sincerely. Hugs from Poland! 👍
I have battled with weight my whole life as well and i can say that to eat or not to eat is a decision
I think the Black community cares about their health-- the health care industry treat us differently than they treat others. I have always been a strong advocate for myself and my children. Recently I had to rush my 30 year old son to the hospital. He has back trouble/ the hospital put my son on so many drugs I had to threaten them with a lawsuit. I told them you are trying to addicted my son to pain medication. I don’t think so… Due to me fighting for my son he is now getting the surgery he needs. Even for myself I have to fight to get the health care I need and deserve/ and Yes, I am now on Ozempic.
Yes it’s true with primary care and even worse in hospital or urgent care it’s sad and terrible .
Victims
❤❤
In Canada it is $200.00 a shot to use the drug off label.
In Australia we're paying only $140 per month; it's not covered by our Government Public Benefits Scheme or private insurance unless it's prescribed to diabetics.
4:56 I'm just shocked that even Oprah is scared of being trolled.
Yes there’s a lot of people that aren’t educated about the drugs even being available. But, price it’s not a possibility.
Cost down abd knowledge is important
250 for a 4 mg shot when you dont spend nearly as much at the grocery store is really quite economical overall
Being overweight has always been a problem for me after my 30s, and recently I came across Ahodea's book. It's like a personal trainer and nutritionist rolled into one and no more crash diets or yoyo weight gain for me
These drugs are still not available to those who don’t have diabetes, though. Even the affordability help through the companies don’t allow for the help of anyone on Medicaid.
It’s 1,200 out of pocket
I wish they were never available to those that do not have diabetes.
What a great segment 😂❤
Most Americans have to pay out of pocket for these drugs. They are expensive and once started have to be continued.
what a cute dog!
Congrats to Oprah ,Be kind folks
Why does it matter in the color of their skin? Why are these people so concerned about black voters versus non-black voters? What about how the Democratic Party treats “it’s” voters
As in you know, “all” of the voters
Ask the republicans & yourself "Why does the color of skin of a voter matter?What about how the republican party is kicking legitimate BIPOC voters off the voter rolls, closing polls early in precincts where black voters live; refusing to protect against the harassment of voters in line, commits voter fraud and blames it on everybody else, gerrymandering judged to be illegal, eliminating early voting places convenient to American citizens, passing laws that make it harder to vote, doing everything in its power to make voting difficult and yet claim to respect the constitutional principles of democracy. Democratic party champions the rights and choices of the majority of the people while the republican party works tirelessly to strip the most basic rights from all Americans; the right to vote adn choose our elected officials. Pray for Peace in the US and VOTE BLUE thru and thru!!
Cheers 😂
😂😂😂 this is so good! Informative and funny
She should have been the only guest for this episode.
Oprah knows.
The name of this show is odd.
It was the so-called Dr's who didn't tell people about the drug. I rarely watch Gayle but am struck by her stupid comments. Dr's were getting bookings on so-called "news" shows telling us about crap that doesn't always work. They like money over health (big secret).
I was denied Monjauro. My doctor filed an appeal. Denied again. She just sent in Zepbound. I am holding my breath. 😢
Just curious, have you tried therapy to assist you in your weight loss journey. If so, what did you learn about yourself?
Whatever works for somebody I support. And I struggle to keep weight on. SMH
Are you still growing? I had the trouble being young. I became overweight and briefly obese. Many years later I went whole food-plant based to fix high cholesterol and it fixed my weight! I've been a healthy weight although my waist-to-heighth ratio is too high. That is a far better measure than BMI weight scale. If I lose 10 lb I will be set.
Ms Winfrey your new body is amazing.
+1 Rizz
It is a weight watchers approach to losing weight , eat less lose weight!
I used Marks pharmacy in Canada and the US government stopped Canada from shipping the drug which cost me 250.😂😂
I 🩷 Gayle.
Mounjaro only arrived in the UK in January, and a private prescription for weight loss is between £150-£200 per month; it's now only just been approved for NHS (socialised) prescription for exceptional weight loss cases, and that prescription would cost the user just under £10. The fact that people are having to pay literally 10-150x that in the US is so unbelievably crazy. Just corporate greed, man.
Oprah. Thank you for shedding light on this issue. I can’t begin to tell you how many people will benefit from your work in this country. Why does the insurance company keep this drug from people who truly need it. That is the question.
What about the long term health effects - is anyone playing this forward?
Thank you Gayle, Oprah and Charles!!!
God Blessed you all.. “PEOPLE leave Folks alone!! and let them get the help they deserve…
I want to know what side effects they are dealing with and how they are addressing it. Also will it be a lifetme use.
Lot of haters sorry people ,in the coments🙄
I have struggled with my weight most of my life. Dieting and exercise till I just couldn't do it any more! I hate being fat. I hate what it does to my health. Unfortunately, normal every day people can't afford those miracle drugs. These companies who make it are seeing dollar signs in their pockets!! Most of us fat people just don't have a chance at a better future.😥
If you need a drug when you’re a diabetic you certainly need it if it can prevent diabetes. On being a larger person: it’s tougher to breathe.
Oh please! Diabetic people are sick and dying because they can't get something the have been taking for years. All of a sudden it aids weight loss and overweight people are first in line. Nope. I don't want to die because people want to lose weight. Stop overeating. Problem solved!
Chuck just needs to get off his 15 cans of coke a day! 😂
Here for the comments I can't take more than 5 minutes of Oprah.
He does not speak for the Black community. He always generalize the Black community. Speak your own story.
Once I turned 35, everything slowed down. I just eat a sandwich and before the end of the day I’ll be 2 pounds heavier. I really need to find a doctor to help with my weight loss. I’m 70 pounds overweight.
Yes!!
Is Oprah a shareholder in these pharma companies? She sounds like a spokesperson!
My question is, these ppl that take these meds they really look good some look ill; where does the flab or skin goes because is not evident when I look at them
Plastic surgery
Great interview! The FDA plays a role in obesity as well. They continue to approve additive chemicals in the food.
Charles you must change your email now!
I’m SO grateful Oprah did this special! I had tears the whole time !! Thanks for speaking up about This disease Oprah!!! ❤
Disease?? Inability to put down a knife and fork? Please!
@@beverlykelly6270 ignorant People like you always exists in the history books !!
@@beverlykelly6270 ignorance is a choice!!
LOVED HOW OPRAH DUMPED ALL HER WEIGHT WATCHERS STOCK just before quitting the company (which caused the stock to plummet 75%) and doing a paid infomercial for Ozempic.
Who cares what you love get a life...
it's always about making money for Oprah. So much for her being honest
Stop with the lies and stop tarnishing Oprah’s name. She dumped her stocks after her announcement.
I would have. New info can change one's allegiance and it's stupid to put lots of money on an old allegiance.
She didn't dump her stock, she donated it.
That's THE OPRAH EFFECT! She has made other people comfortable to talk about the use of medication to loose weight.
I still can't get over Oprah's cringey (and rather hateful)interview with an atheist guy. Shows her for who she really is.
And your comment shows YOU for who you really are..HJV - H_ateful, J_udgmental, V_indictive. Have the day you deserve!☮💙
@@djoy4ly317 I'm not a Christian, those are Christian traits
❤
Yes, we in the disappearing hard working middle class are tired of what rich people feel they are entitled to, while all of us are trying to keep the lights on at home.😢
The first video is already out calling out the rather ridiculous claims made. 😂
I am coming Charles. Have my Don Julio reposado shot waiting🤣 !! I am getting me some mounjaro too. I need to lose 25 pounds!!
20 years she has been talking about her weight 😢😢😢😢😢 please go away
She also was on Epstein’s island raping children they released the list she was definitely there and so was 187 democrats the Clintons the Obama’s the Biden’s Schumer and schiff democratic judges Hollywood and this media , so was Jimmy Kemble and Zuckerburg
You can also go away .
She is staying 😅
This Charles guy is annoying. The guest is Oprah NOT him!
Both are medical health disorders, not identities. Society imposes the term. “We” can be the change.
Ozempic Winfrey 💀😂😂
In other news: the sky is blue
If you ingest fewer calories than you burn you will lose weight, and the other way around.
Wrong
:) 🤣😂
Why is it, when people lose weight ,however way they lose it, go overboard, and lose way too much.
Did you know that alcohol has almost the same calorie content as pure fat?
Now you tell me!!!!!!
The DSM-5 is "Alcohol Use Disorder", and is known as a mental health disorder. Please share in using this term (opposed to alcoholic) as it is a clinical term defining in nature used by clinicians.
I understand the intent here but just like we say a person is diabetic, rather than “a person with diabetes mellitus”, people are going to say a person is an alcoholic rather than “a person with alcohol use disorder. “
Wow this new segment with Chuck and Gayle is not going too well. On all of them that I have watched - there are a large number of negative comments.
Bless his heart, Charles offering to treat Oprah to some shots of tequila, when she probably owns a tequila distillery😅
The number of negative comments are the result of negative trolls , like yourself, trying to influence the algorithm. We see you and you are to be pitied. Baby, get a life ... away from the keyboard. Go find solace in something you like that does not harm or judge others! The world and you will be better for it. ☮
@@djoy4ly317 Are you Gayles Mom?? When did they let you have a keyboard at the home???👎
Typical American medicine, we pay more for everything.
Wow.. fat covering the Pancreas …thanks
Nice for all these mega wealthy people lol
Not really as she said..there are drugs just for weight loss ins doesn't pay .if you need the diabetes one instead pays sooo..unpack why you're really mad ..y'all mad cuz this black woman is rich and it ain't 1855..to bad
@@krimsonedit3272 throwing the race card around is so gross of you.
No it’s not a skin color thing, like I said, and I mean what I said, it’s a money grab. If you can’t see that, smdh no wonder you so easily throw her skin color into the mix. Get a grip and grow up. Stop projecting your worst insecurities onto the world.
Lies and scams for a living. How shocking.
Wow...2 hours later & my comment is still up. I love Oprah. Theres something in me that wishes she would bow out gracefully & not be hooked out. This Queen is coming off as desperate as a Kardashian in pursuit to stay relevant. I dont want to see her reducing herself to their type level. Shes actually brought much good to the world. Not just self centeredness, greed & fluff.
Weight loss drugs are quick fixes.
How is this relevant to everyday Americans?
42% of American adults are obese. A treatment for obesity that is very relevant.
I'm sorry, but Oprah was the one who made her weight a focus of her show, when she hauled out the little red wagon full of meat to indicate how much weight she'd lost. So for her to say she's tired of being weight shamed, is ridiculous. She started the whole brouhaha.
In response to lots of criticism and harassment by the media. One preceded the other.
@@aw9845 She started it all, when she went on that liquid diet, and decided to make her weight a subject of the show. The media piled on after that
I think she really damaged her metabolism with that liquid diet so obviously she's been struggling all these years.
Haven't we heard about Oprah's weight loss journey for like 40 years now? 😂 How many times does she have to go on the same journey?
@@lefersan 😂
Until you arrive at your destination 😊
The long-term side effects of these medications is not worth it!
Same for this show. Gayle can only return to the idea of drinking.
Stop showing me this show.
Charles, why did you gain back 12lbs? Is it because your Mind, was not prepared, once you got off the drugs? You were depended, on the drugs, and couldn’t maintain, what you had loss, on you own.
She’s so shady, and I agree go away. Please stop. Tired of her she had her time.
So if I get this right. All the while Oprah was talking about Weight watchers. She was taking ozempic? I call it deceitful.
Oprah go away, far far away!
So far we can't see her anymore I'm thinking India, she pretty big
This Charles guy was incredibly disrespectful and rude towards Gayle. I think Gayle can take a joke but the hostility he tried to mask in his voice with humour, didn’t work.
LOL. . . .nah. . . .that's just King Charles being King Charlie. . ..LOL.
Does this work for Fat White People ? Gayle ?
