Food Network personality Katie Lee Biegel<\/b><\/a> is opening up about her experience using a GLP-1 medication to help her slim down.<\/p>\n \u201cIt has been an incredibly positive experience,\u201d Lee Biegel, 44, said on the Thursday, July 23, episode of her \u201cAll on the Table\u201d podcast<\/span><\/a>, noting she began taking the controversial weight loss drug<\/a> in February. \u201cThat is such a personal decision of what feels best to you for your best weight.\u201d<\/p>\n The\u00a0Kitchen <\/i>star said that she wanted to drop \u201c10 to 12 extra pounds\u201d of her postpartum weight, but had a difficult time meeting her goal without the extra boost. (Katie and her husband, Ryan Biegel<\/b>, welcomed daughter Iris<\/a> in 2020.)<\/p>\n \u201cI had about 10 to 12 extra pounds that I had carried around for the last 5 and a half years since I had Iris, and I could not get rid of them,\u201d Katie explained, referring to her daughter. \u201cI was exercising five times a week, eating healthy [and the weight was] just not coming off, and I didn\u2019t feel like myself. I didn\u2019t feel good.\u201d<\/p>\n She continued, \u201cAs we get older, especially for women with menopause, your metabolism changes, also the way that your body processes sugar changes. There are so many additional benefits to these drugs besides just losing weight, [including] reducing inflammation, reducing your risk of heart disease that I talked about it with my doctor and it felt right for me.\u201d<\/p>\n GLP-1s, including Wegovy and Mounjaro, are typically prescribed for adults who struggle with weight-related conditions. Doctors often warn individuals<\/span><\/a> against using semaglutides for casual weight loss.<\/p>\n After a discussion with her physician, Katie began using a GLP-1 at \u201ca micro, micro dose.\u201d<\/p>\n You have successfully subscribed.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n \u201cI went up and then I went down to a micro micro dose. I am not looking to lose any more weight,\u201d she stated of her progress. \u201cI lost what I wanted to lose<\/a>, and I feel like a new freaking person. It has been so good for me both physically and mentally because I don\u2019t have to think about [my size] any more when I put on my pants.\u201d<\/p>\n
