Ricki Lake Sheds 40lbs Naturally: Debunks Ozempic Rumors!

EXCLUSIVE: Ricki Lake's Jaw-Dropping Weight Loss Transformation Leaves Celebrities Jealous!

The 56-year-old Daytime Emmy winner, known for her iconic talk show and memorable roles in John Waters' films, has just revealed her incredible weight loss journey to the world - and it's a game-changer! With her stunning new physique, Ricki Lake is turning heads and leaving many of her A-list friends green with envy.

In January, Ricki announced that she had reached her 130-pound goal weight after shedding an astonishing 40 pounds in under two years without relying on trendy GLP-1 agonist drugs. The secret to her success? A strict keto diet, intermittent fasting, Pilates classes, and a daily hike wearing a weighted vest - talk about dedication!

But what's even more fascinating is that Ricki Lake has managed to achieve this remarkable transformation while remaining drug-free. When asked if she had considered using those trendy injectables, the New York native proudly declared, "I did not go on any drug because I wasn’t prediabetic... There’s nothing wrong with those drugs. They’re actually game changers for so many people. But for me, I did not want to be reliant on a drug if I could help it."

Ricki's bold decision has sparked a heated debate among celebrities, with some - like Oprah Winfrey, Kathy Bates, Kelly Clarkson, and Whoopi Goldberg - admitting to using these injectables to get the results they desire. However, there are many more A-listers who have remained mum about their weight loss secrets, including Lizzo, Mindy Kaling, Melissa McCarthy, Khloe Kardashian, Lana Del Rey, Christina Aguilera, and Patricia Arquette.

The FDA has only approved three GLP-1 drugs specifically for weight loss - Wegovy, Saxenda, and Zepboun - and the rest are reserved for patients suffering from type 2 diabetes. Ricki Lake's determination to go it alone is a testament to her strength and commitment to her well-being.

When asked about her journey, Ricki Lake revealed that she had worn a glucose monitor and an Oura ring (which tracks health data) to ensure she was making progress. "I prioritized sleep and overall, a low-stress lifestyle," she emphasized. And it worked! Her new size-four figure is the result of years of hard work and dedication.

Ricki's transformation has taken its toll on her personal life as well. The mother of two sons, Owen (24) and Milo (28), has had to navigate the challenges of single parenthood after her divorce from illustrator Rob Sussman in 2004. Her latest challenge came when she lost her $5 million Malibu home in the Palisades wildfire with her third husband Ross Burningham on January 8.

But Ricki Lake's most notable accomplishment is perhaps hosting her own syndicated daytime talk show from 1993 to 2004, earning her a Daytime Emmy award. Her big break came when she portrayed Divine's "pleasantly plump" daughter Tracy Turnblad in John Waters' iconic film Hairspray in 1988.

Get ready for the juiciest celebrity gossip! Ricki Lake will be joining forces with fellow Bravo Clubhouse regular Cynthia Nixon on Watch What Happens Live with Andy Cohen this Thursday, marking her seventh appearance on the show. And if that's not enough, she'll also be celebrating her son Owen's 24th birthday on June 18.
