Jesse Plemons is one of the latest celebrities to get with Ozempic rumors, with some fans believing he used a weight loss drug to lead to his dramatic transformation.

Plemons recently addressed the rumors only to shut them down quickly.

In a recent feature published by the Los Angeles Times, the actor candidly discussed his fitness journey, detailing how intermittent fasting played a pivotal role in his weight loss and overall health management as he navigates the challenges of aging.

Plemons Denied The Ozempic Speculation

“It’s really unfortunate that I decided to get healthy when everyone decided to take Ozempic,” he lamented. “It doesn’t matter, everyone’s going to think I took Ozempic anyways.”

Ozempic is a prescription medication primarily used to treat type 2 diabetes by helping to control blood sugar levels. It belongs to a class of drugs called GLP-1 receptor agonists, which work by stimulating insulin production and decreasing glucose production in the liver.

Recently, Ozempic has gained attention for its potential weight loss benefits, often resulting as a side effect of improved blood sugar control and decreased appetite.

Plemons Has Another Secret For His Weight Loss

Previously known for his weight gain for the role of a Boston mobster in the 2015 crime drama Black Mass, recent images of Plemons at the Oscars red carpet in March showcased a noticeable transformation, sparking speculation about his methods.

“What it was was getting older,” Plemons explained. “I hate even getting specific because then it turns into a whole thing, but there was a part that I did that in my mind I could not imagine him as the size that I was.”

It turns out Plemons does have a secret for his weight loss, but it’s not a medication. The actor credits intermittent fasting for helping him shed the weight.

“Several people talked to me about intermittent fasting, and I just gave it a shot and [was] surprised at how quickly it was effective,” Plemons revealed.

Reflecting on his journey, he noted, “Eventually, he says he ‘felt like I was in the rhythm, I was feeling better, and something shifted in my head. I just sort of got a handle on it.’” This candid discussion sheds light on Plemons’ commitment to health and fitness amidst his evolving career and personal life.

Intermittent fasting is an eating pattern that cycles between periods of fasting and eating. It doesn’t specify which foods you should eat but rather when you should eat them. There are several different methods of intermittent fasting, but the most common ones involve fasting for 16 hours a day (often including sleep time) and eating within an 8-hour window, or fasting for 24 hours once or twice a week.

The primary benefit of intermittent fasting for weight loss lies in its ability to help regulate calorie intake. By restricting the time period during which you eat, intermittent fasting can naturally lead to a reduction in overall calorie consumption without the need for strict calorie counting. This calorie restriction can promote weight loss by creating a consistent calorie deficit over time.
