Andy Cohen's Beach Bombshell: The Bravo Reunion That Sparked His Weight Loss Journey
Andy Cohen's Jaw-Dropping Weight Loss Transformation Exposed!
In a shocking revelation, Bravo superstar Andy Cohen has spilled the beans on his dramatic weight loss journey, and it's got everyone talking! The 57-year-old host of Watch What Happens Live with Andy Cohen has lost a "good chunk" of weight thanks to a game-changing weight loss medication, and we're getting all the juicy details.
Appearing on Today's Jenna & Friends, Andy opened up about how seeing himself moderate the season two reunion of The Valley was the wake-up call he needed to take control of his figure. "If you watch The Valley reunion from last season... I do not look my best, let me say that," he candidly admitted. "It was after that I was like, 'I got to get this together.'"
But it wasn't just a vanity issue; Andy confessed that he was struggling to fit into his clothes and had become self-conscious about his appearance on camera. "We all notice ourselves, and especially when we're on TV and we're looking at a freaking monitor of ourselves every day, terrible!" he exclaimed.
So, what sparked the transformation? Andy revealed that he turned to Hollywood's trend of weight loss medications – specifically a GLP-1 medication (don't worry, we'll get into the details below). "I lost a good chunk of weight. I was microdosing a GLP whatever it's called," he explained.
But what exactly is this magic pill? GLP-1 medications work by managing blood sugar levels, reducing appetite, and slowing stomach emptying, making you feel fuller for longer. Sounds like a dream come true! Andy raved about the benefits, saying, "I have to say, it really helped me with cravings, which I was having a very hard time with."
The Real Housewives of Atlanta star also credited his newfound fitness routine and healthy eating habits for his remarkable transformation. "But it was a great fitness journey for me as well, and I'm just being so much more deliberate about what I put in my mouth and how I work out," he said.
Andy's weight loss journey has been nothing short of remarkable, with him shedding pounds and embracing a healthier lifestyle – all thanks to the guidance of his doctor and a dedicated trainer. And it seems like fatherhood played a role in his motivation too! "I bet you're staying healthy for those kids," host Jenna Bush Hager quipped.
Andy candidly shared that he was initially hesitant about using the medication but eventually came around after discussing it with his doctor. "My doctor and I talked about this last year, had recommended a GLP-1 a few times to not only address what I was feeling about my weight, but treat plaque in my arteries and high blood pressure."
Now, Andy's proudly showing off his new physique on social media – much to the delight of fans! "When I posted that picture, everyone was like, 'Uh dude, what are you doing?'" he chuckled.
But what about the cost? We all know weight loss medications can be pricey. Fortunately for Andy, his insurance covered part of the cost, but we're talking about $1,200 a month – Ouch! "This is a revolutionary drug," he said, acknowledging how lucky he was to have access to medical care.
The Watch What Happens Live with Andy Cohen host even quit using the medication after reaching his goal and credits it for changing his relationship with food. "I will say, my appetite returned from the micro-dose, but I feel like it caused me to reframe my relationship with food because it was sh*tty before this."
So, there you have it – Andy Cohen's weight loss secret revealed! The Bravo star has been asked about others' secrets for so long; he felt compelled to share his own. "It would be completely hypocritical not to share," he said.
