Carnie Wilson<\/strong><\/a> lost 40 pounds<\/a> in an effort to feel better and live a healthier life, and she did it without Ozempic.<\/p>\n

Not that it was never an option. Wilson, 55, says her doctor suggested Ozempic to aid in her weight loss, but \u201cit just wasn\u2019t for me.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cI was too scared of side effects,\u201d she exclusively told Us Weekly<\/em> while discussing her new cooking show, Sounds Delicious With Carnie Wilson<\/em>. \u201cAnd I think it\u2019s great. It\u2019s worked for a lot of people, and I just don\u2019t know what\u2019s going to happen. I don\u2019t think we know enough about it for this purpose.\u201d<\/p>\n

Instead, Wilson cut gluten and sugar from her diet, leaning on her own discipline to manage a healthier diet.<\/p>\n

\n\t\t\tOzempic has become a hot topic when it comes to weight loss \u2014 with some stars confirming they have used the drug while others denied it. Chelsea Handler admitted during a January 2023 episode of the \u201cCall Her Daddy\u201d podcast that she unknowingly took the Type 2 diabetes medication, which is traditionally used to improve [\u2026]\t\t<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\u201cI just listened to a voice inside of me, which was, \u2018gluten and sugar are not your friend,\u2019\u201d she explained. \u201cYou need to stop eating that. And that\u2019s the voice I listened to. And it\u2019s working.\u201d<\/p>\n

She\u2019s started to feel better, as well. Wilson thought back to how she felt pre\u2013weight loss, saying<\/a> she experienced \u201cjust a lot of abdominal pain and just feeling bloated and gross and just completely inflamed.\u201d<\/p>\n

Carnie, daughter of Beach Boys cofounder Brian Wilson<\/strong>, hopes that her diet change and weight loss serve as examples to her two children, Lola, 18 and Luci, 14.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt kind of makes you a better person all around,\u201d she said. \u201cProbably a better chef, a better mother, and all these things.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\t\t\tShocking, indeed! Some celebs seek out extreme methods to shed pounds, while others transform with the aid of healthier methods. From Rosie O’Donnell’s and Jordin Sparks’ respective 50 pound weight losses to Biggest Loser winner Rachel Frederickson’s whopping 155 lighter frame, see before and after pictures of celebrities’ weight loss transformations.\t\t<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Lola and Luci are sisters, but Carnie explains they have plenty of differences, physically and socially. At a time when young women are pressured to look or behave a certain way, Carnie hopes to instill self-confidence in her kids \u2014 and that starts at home.<\/p>\n

\u201cI always say don\u2019t compare yourself to other people because you are your own special person and everyone is beautiful,\u201d she said. \u201cFind something you like about yourself. \u2026 Self-confidence comes from believing in yourself and giving to other people.\u201d<\/p>\n
