Her point of view. Ana Navarro<\/strong><\/a> opened up about her weight loss journey<\/a> while firing back at rumors that she\u2019s using Ozempic<\/a> to slim down.<\/p>\n

The View<\/em> cohost, 51, shared a series of Instagram photos<\/a> earlier this week from a recent trip to Colombia. \u201cWhen your best friend is @leeschrager and he tells you he wants a getaway weekend for his birthday, you say, \u2018tell me where and when, and I\u2019ll be there,’\u201d she wrote in the caption.<\/p>\n

The first of the four images showed Navarro rocking a black off-the-shoulder dress<\/a> with her hair pulled back in a sleek updo. Her ensemble hugged her curves, drawing attention to her slimmer figure.<\/p>\n

After one social media user asked in the comments section when Navarro planned on \u201ccoming clean\u201d about being on Ozempic<\/a>, the journalist swiftly shut down the speculation<\/a> in a lengthy reply.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019ve posted about my weight-loss journey many times. I\u2019ve struggled with my weight my entire life. The [coronavirus] pandemic and menopause made it worse,\u201d the Emmy nominee wrote on Wednesday, May 31. \u201cIn 2021, my mom died of kidney disease brought on by diabetes. She suffered terribly the last years of her life. That scared the beejeezus out of me.\u201d<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Navarro explained that she visited the Rancho La Puerta \u201cwellness spa\u201d in Mexico in August 2022 with two longtime friends. \u201cWe had all turned 50 and wanted to be healthier. I spent time there learning to cook and eat healthier, reprogramming the way I think of my lifestyle, and being more active. We did all sorts of exercise classes for hours a day,\u201d she noted.<\/p>\n

The news correspondent recalled feeling \u201cdetermined to continue\u201d the same \u201chealthy habits\u201d she learned at the resort when she returned home. \u201cI also sought professional help \u2013 nutritionist, medical supervision (I was on the verge of pre-diabetes), pilates coach (I joined a Pilates club in Miami and NYC), and pickleball coach (I try to play at least twice a week),\u201d she added. \u201cSo it\u2019s been a complete lifestyle change -except for the damn ros\u00e9 and margaritas, which I can\u2019t give up.\u201d<\/p>\n

Thanks to the healthy skills<\/a> she\u2019s picked up, Navarro explained that she\u2019s lost \u201cabout 4-5 lbs a month.\u201d She reiterated that wellness is an individualized journey<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\u201cI am not equipped to give anyone advice or endorse any solution. We all have to figure out what works for each us. It is a daily struggle for me. I still really like tequila and staying in bed with my poodle\u2026\ud83e\udd37\ud83c\udffb\u200d\u2640\ufe0f,\u201d she concluded.<\/p>\n

Navarro is the latest celeb to chime in on the widespread debate<\/a> about taking Ozempic \u2014 a drug intended for patients with type 2 diabetes \u2014 to expedite weight loss. Kyle Richards<\/strong><\/a>, Chelsea Handler<\/strong><\/a> and more have been vocal amid the viral discussion, with Bethenny Frankel<\/strong><\/a> slamming those who are not taking the medication by necessity<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\u201cIf someone is struggling with obesity and working with a doctor, that is one thing (and this is all new in this application) but thin rich country club cul de sac Americans, buying this online and at Mexican pharmacies is another thing,\u201d the SkinnyGirl founder, 52, captioned an Instagram video in April.<\/p>\n

In the clip, Frankel warned her followers about the potential side effects<\/a> of the drug. \u201cI\u2019m hearing stories about it affecting people\u2019s personalities. \u2026 Mark my words, we\u2019re going to hear about this s\u2014tshow for months and years to come.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
