Kathy Bates, Oscar winner and star of Matlock, revealed her personal journey of weight loss in a recent interview. The actress lost 100 pounds, which enabled her to take on the show’s physical demands.
Bates was diagnosed with diabetes due to family history, fearing the consequences it could bring. Her father had undergone a leg amputation, and one sister is struggling with the condition. This realization prompted Bates to make lifestyle changes.
She adopted a new diet and started using Ozempic, losing 80 pounds initially before the last 15-20 pounds proved challenging. However, after consulting her doctor about Ozempic, she was able to complete the final stretch.
Bates emphasizes that her weight loss journey was not solely dependent on the medication. She credits hard work and dedication for achieving her goal.
