Kandi Burruss talks about her time at Ozempic
On Tuesday, June 25th, Page Six published an exclusive interview with Burruss conducted via the channel’s podcast, ‘Virtual Reali-Tea’. During the conversation, Burruss explained that he is prioritizing his fitness in 2024 and is on a weight loss journey.
The ‘RHOA’ alum admitted she also tried Ozempic, a weight-loss medication that became popular for diabetes, in 2023.
“Last year, I tried… and I saw so many people who were trying and losing weight, so I thought, ‘Okay, I’ll try this,’” Burruss recalled. “And I didn’t lose weight.”
Burruss explained that people started telling her that something was “wrong” or that she “needed a higher dosage.”
“And, you know, my doctor said, ‘I don’t know what the problem is. I’m not seeing that in other people,’” Burruss explained.
The former ‘RHOA’ star explained that the medication failed to reduce her appetite. Additionally, Burruss said that if we look at her social media, we’ll notice that she actually gained weight between last summer and now.

Burruss explained that she now understands that Ozempic “doesn’t work for everyone.” However, she was initially discouraged by her body’s reaction to the medication.
“The sad thing is when you see it works for other people and it doesn’t work for you, you get depressed,” said the 48-year-old. “…It makes you feel like, ‘What’s wrong with me? Why isn’t it working for me?’”
The reality TV star said she finally decided not to “worry about it” and resumed her bad eating habits. Ultimately, Burruss explained that after some time forgetting about her commitment to losing weight, she decided to resume her journey.
“I’m feeling good,” she said of her current weight loss plan. “I spoke to a coach and he is putting together a good training plan for me. While I’m on tour, I’m going to make the most of the hotel gyms, and I’m going to work out so many days a week, stick to…eating right, and…see what happens.”
Furthermore, Burruss concluded by explaining that she is now focused on becoming her “best version” again.
Another reality star recently opened up about her weight loss journey
Burruss isn’t the only reality star who has recently been candid about her weight loss journey. As The Shadow Room Previously reported, earlier this month, ‘Flavor of Love’ star Deelishis posted a video of herself dancing in her home.
One social media user reacted to the clip with a question about her weight loss.
“Why are you losing so much weight @iamsodeelishis,” they wrote.
In response, Deelishis explained that she chose to reduce her consumption of processed foods and her weight dropped naturally.
Ultimately, the question prompted Deelishis to take to Instagram Live to discuss her health in more depth and why it’s important for her to prioritize it as she ages.
