Jim Gaffigan’s 50 pounds of weight loss explained with Mounjaro
Jim Gaffigan Does not want a credit for his weight loss of 50 pound-no, seriously.
While speaking to Today hosts Jenna Bush Hager And Justin Sylvester On Monday, May 26, Gaffigan explained that he lost the weight because “I was brave enough to put a needle in my stomach.”
Gaffigan has made a drastic journey for weight loss with the help of the popular medicine, Mounjaro. The drug is the brand name for tirzepatide, a recipe medicine that is used to treat type 2 diabetes and that is also used for weight loss or weight management (ideally under the supervision of an licensed medical professional).
“I have done appetite, so it’s not as if I can even be proud of it,” he also said about his weight loss methods. The comedian, who weighed 270 pounds before he started his journey for weight loss, added that “it is great because my knees don’t hurt. I am less exhausted … it’s always good, you know, like the health benefits, such as:” I will live longer. “”
“But I think it’s great just because I feel better,” he added. “It’s great. It’s useful.”
The comic spoke exclusively against US Weekly About his journey with Mounjaro in November 2024.
“I was so paranoid that I would be nauseous that I postponed it a bit, but then it worked a bit,” he explained at the time … “It is strange because we live in this society where people who eat too much are told that they just don’t have self -control. … There are people who just don’t have” buttons to eat, right? “
He also compared his inability to stop eating into an addiction. “I would eat when I was hungry and I would eat when I was happy and eat when I was sad, and I would just eat. It was my reward,” he shared with UsAnd notes that it is “strange” that there is a “negative stigma” around the decision to use weight loss drugs. “It is clearly personal, but I don’t think something is wrong with it. But again, anonymity is one thing about such such struggles.”
Gaffigan said he had the body type of a ‘square midwinner’, adding that, despite his successes of weight loss, he knows that he ‘will never look super thin’.
The comedian also launched the Hulu special The leanWhere he discussed his weight loss wider. “We are a country struggling with the obesity epidemic,” he explained. “And then there are these appetite suppression that do wonders, so The lean Is a bit about processing society about that. “
