SCANDALOUS SLEEKNESS: GAYLE KING'S SECRETS TO STAYING FIT AND FABULOUS AT 70!

Gayle King, the stunning 70-year-old host of CBS Mornings, is turning heads left and right with her svelte physique. And we're not just talking about her recent vacation with bestie Oprah Winfrey and Kardashian queen Kris Jenner – although, let's be real, that yacht trip in Spain was already giving us major #goals! No, we're talking about Gayle's impressive weight loss journey, which has been on full display at all the hottest events from Lauren Sanchez and Jeff Bezos' wedding to the controversial Blue Origin flight.

But what's really got everyone buzzing is Gayle's rumored use of the popular weight loss jab Ozempic. And let me tell you, we're about to dive into the juicy details of her diet and exercise routines that have helped her maintain that enviable figure. So grab a coffee (or two), get comfortable, and get ready for the scoop on how Gayle King is staying fit and fabulous at 70!

FROM FABULOUS TO FLABBY: GAYLE'S WEIGHT LOSS JOURNEY

It all started back in March 2020 when Gayle confessed to ELLE that she doesn't exactly enjoy working out. But, being the determined journalist that she is, she's found ways to make it work. "I try to figure out a way to get some kind of exercise," she said. "I've been reading this book about the joy of movement, and I do think there's something to that." So, what does Gayle's workout routine look like? Well, when she does hit the gym, it's all about the machines – treadmill, elliptical, and weights are her go-to moves.

Fast forward to 2023, and we see Gayle still keeping active. During her summer vacation in Mallorca, Spain, with Oprah and Kris Jenner, Gayle was spotted going for hikes with the girls, showing off those toned legs of hers.

GAYLE'S DIET SECRETS REVEALED!

So, what's behind Gayle's impressive weight loss journey? Well, it seems she's all about moderation. Back in 2020, she told E News that she doesn't deny herself anything when it comes to food. "I love pasta or bread or sweets too much," she said. So, how does she balance her diet? According to Gayle, it's all about healthy eating with the occasional indulgence. "I eat healthy most of the time, but if I go to a party or on vacation, I'm going to enjoy it, then I work extra hard to get back to where I was." And let's just say that extra hard work might involve cutting out bread and dessert for a few days or bumping up her exercise routine.

GAYLE'S SOUP FAST: THE ULTIMATE WEIGHT LOSS HACK!

But what really got everyone talking was Gayle's soup fast in 2020. Yes, you read that right – a five-day soup fast! According to Gayle, she dropped seven pounds in just five days on this restrictive meal plan. And the best part? She didn't reveal exactly which soups she was eating, leaving us all wondering what kind of magic she was cooking up.

OPRAH'S WEIGHT LOSS SECRETS: WHAT SHE LEARNED FROM HER OWN JOURNEY

And speaking of weight loss secrets, Oprah Winfrey recently opened up about her own dramatic transformation. In a conversation with Dr. Ania Jastreboff, Oprah revealed that taking weight-loss drugs like Ozempic and Wegovy helped her realize the truth about "thin people." "One of the things I realized the very first time I took a GLP-1 was that all these years I thought that thin people had more willpower," she said. But once she started on a GLP-1, Oprah realized that what she initially perceived as 'willpower' was actually an absence of intrusive hunger thoughts – often referred to as 'food noise.'

THE VERDICT: GAYLE KING'S SECRETS TO STAYING FIT AND FABULOUS AT 70!

From her moderate approach to dieting to her workout routines that are anything but boring (hello, treadmill and elliptical!), Gayle is proof that age is just a number when it comes to looking and feeling your best.

And who knows? Maybe we'll see some of those Ozempic-fueled weight loss results ourselves. After all, as Oprah would say, "One of the things I realized the very first time I took a GLP-1 was that all these years I thought that thin people had more willpower."

Success: The CBS This Morning anchor shared photos of herself on the scale before and after the soup fast, sharing that she lost a total of seven pounds in five days
