Mom Constance Hall shuts down rumors she used Ozempic following 44-pound weight loss

controversial weight-loss drug.Mommy blogger Constance Hall has shut down rumors she managed to shed 44 pounds by using the off-label weight-loss drug Ozempic.The West Australian-based mother-of-five, who has amassed a following of almost 400,000 on Instagram, addressed questions about her body transformation in a post on Facebook – namely whether she was on the injectable drug, which is intended for diabetes treatment but has been found to greatly suppress the user’s appetite.“So many people have accused me of lying about my weight loss and being on Ozempic or some other weight loss injection,” Hall began.“I’ve noticed it’s not just me, people are accusing everyone of being on weight loss injections.

Which made me wonder if people have the wrong idea about these injections. They aren’t the miraculous appetite suppressants everyone thinks they are.”Hall said she visited her GP early last year to discuss weight loss solutions because her “old tricks” stopped working.“I’d gained 20 kilos [44lbs], I was mentally and physically unhealthy, I felt like my bad habits were out of control.

The doctor agreed I was at a dangerous weight,” she explained.“He prescribed me Saxenda, an injection that’s been cleared to prescribe for weight loss, similar to Ozempic, only you inject yourself with a little epi pen once a day instead of once a week and there was no shortage of Saxenda so I wasn’t endangering diabetics by using it.”After five weeks, Hall was so nauseous that it became “impossible” for her to continue administering the drug.
