Real Housewives of Orange County<\/em><\/a>\u00a0star\u00a0Emily Simpson<\/strong> is looking like a much different person in the months following filming of season 17 of the show. She began sharing photos showing off a noticeable weight loss in June 2023, and finally confessed to how she achieved her new body.<\/p>\n Emily originally shied away from claims she took the weight loss drug Ozempic<\/a>, after posting a photo wearing black leggings and a tight top in a June 25 Instagram photo. When one fan asked, \u201cHow\u2019s that Ozempic working out for you?\u201d she clapped back, \u201cyou don\u2019t know me,\u201d and said \u201cmy arms are jacked from heavy lifting seven days a week.\u201d<\/p>\n The attorney confessed during a June 28 appearance on n\u00a0SiriusXM\u2019s \u201cJeff Lewis Live\u201d<\/a>\u00a0that she did indeed take the drug, but not for every long. Emily claimed to have had a \u201cnervous breakdown\u201d after shooting the Bravo series and hated how she looked once filming had wrapped.<\/p>\n \u201cI don\u2019t know what happened. I think I just went for four months hard when we were filming and I ate too much, drank too much, and just didn\u2019t get enough sleep, didn\u2019t exercise<\/a>,\u201d Emily explained, telling Jeff how a producer sent her a photo where she didn\u2019t recognize herself. The picture made her realize how much weight she had gained, which led her to feeling \u201cdepressed.\u201d<\/p>\n Emily went to a doctor and was told she was pre-diabetic and should try Ozempic<\/a>. \u201cSo I did. I did that in December. For one month and you know, that was a great kickstart for me,\u201d the reality star revealed.<\/p>\n The medication left her feeling full and she quit \u201cgrazing\u201d on food and paying more attention to what she was eating. Emily said she lost five to seven pounds but quit taking the drug because it left her feeling tired all the time.<\/p>\n \u201cI didn\u2019t like the way it made me feel lethargic and it made me just not have a lot of energy, which was hard with three little kids,\u201d she noted, adding, \u201cbut it does make you feel full, and it does make you, for me, it was like a refresh.\u201d<\/p>\n Emily followed up he weight loss with getting liposuction on her arms and a breast reduction and lift<\/a>. \u201cJust the surgery alone was just, I felt like it was just a huge difference in my overall look just to have the thinner arms and just the smaller chest and I was so happy with the surgery,\u201d she explained, adding, \u201cI have so much muscle underneath that when he did the liposuction, my arms were just jacked.\u201d<\/p>\n In addition to the plastic surgery<\/a> and exercise, Emily has changed her eating habits to include a high protein, low-carb diet.<\/p>\n
