Khloe Kardashian: I would have tried Ozempic before my weight loss journey

Khloe Kardashian has admitted that she would have considered using Ozempic if it had been available before her weight loss journey.

During the latest episode of The Kardashians, which aired on July 11, Kardashian spoke openly about her exercise routine and her new partnership with the activewear brand Fabletics. At a Fabletics event, she confessed in an interview that had she had the option in the past, she might have tried Ozempic, a medication initially created for type 2 diabetes but now often used for weight loss.

“When I was bigger, if they had Ozempic, I probably would have tried it because I tried any other thing,” she explained. “I tried any fad weight loss trend except for the real thing that actually works, and that’s a lifestyle change.”

Despite mentioning that she might have used Ozempic in the past, she clarified the primary goal of her collaboration with Fabletics.

“So, I really wanna encourage healthiness and not about the number on the scale,” Kardashian continued. “I just think people should be active. I don’t really care what your size is, and you should just be healthy and stronger for yourself.”

At the Fabletics event, the founder of Good American also shared her typical workout routine with the audience.

“I do circuit training with cardio intervals. I’m always spiking my heart rate up and down. For a shoot like that where I know I am going to be showing a lot of skin, I definitely work out much harder,” she said, referring to her photoshoot with Fabletics. “And then I always celebrate with a full large pizza, because that’s just the way it goes.”

The Keeping Up With The Kardashians star has consistently spoken about her health and fitness regime, while also addressing comments regarding her body. In 2023, she responded to claims of plastic surgery in the comments of her Instagram post featuring pictures from her cover shoot with Sorbet Magazine.

“I openly talk about my nose job and anyone who ‘looks up’ to me must know I’ve lost over 60 pounds over the years,” she replied to a now-deleted comment. “So recently the only change is the bangs. I didn’t know I had to do a running list.”

She also denied claims that she used Ozempic to lose weight, reminding her followers of her rigorous workout regime. “Let’s not discredit my years of working out. I get up five days a week at 6am to train. Please stop with your assumptions,” she added. “I guess new year still means mean people.”

Back in 2020, Kardashian detailed how she lost 40 pounds through an intense fitness routine, which included spin classes and workout drills in the gym.

“I definitely think the physical and the mental go hand in hand,” she told People at the time. “I feel so good in the gym that it [affects] the rest of my day. It’s a healthy addiction. It’s like buying your sanity!”
