Cross-dresser Kelvin Kinuthia has become the latest Kenyan celebrity to embrace the Ozempic method of weight loss.
Taking to his Instagram page, Kinuthia revealed to his fans that he is on a journey to lose weight using the Ozempic method.
Ozempic is a weekly injection that helps lower blood sugar by helping the pancreas make more insulin. It is not approved for weight loss, but some physicians prescribe it to be used for weight loss.
In his testimony, the content creator recounted the drastic changes he had witnessed, one week after being injected with Ozempic.
He revealed that before embracing Ozempic, he weighed 148 kg, but one week after the injection, he had already shed off up to 5 kg and is very hopeful that his weight loss journey will go well until he achieves his desired weight.
“This is a living testimony, my people, my body is about to transform. Losing 5kgs in 7 days is such a big flex. Am in week 2 of my Ozempic shots and am loving my new body looks. I started at 148 kg, now at 143 kg. I can’t wait to see my body goals,” Kinuthia beamed with happiness.
The content creator, who is famous for wearing clothes that contradict his gender, revealed that what prompted him to embark on the journey of losing weight was after some feminine clothes refused to fit him.
Now that he has started to see the results of his body getting back into good shape, his feminine clothes such as bikinis, should be waiting for him, saying, “Bikinis here I come.”
Last week, content creator Pritty Vishy also opened up about how Ozempic has changed her body.
Vishy, who was on TV47 with Betty Kyallo, revealed that she has lost up to 41 kilos in just a few months of using Ozempic.
However, she said that she experienced some challenges with the use of Ozempic, such as diarrhea and sometimes vomiting, although she admitted that the side effects for her were minimal.
“I tried working out in the gym, but I felt overwhelmed. I couldn’t lose weight. So I opted for Ozempic. I was injected and I was told I would experience some side effects such as vomiting, diarrhoea, and a lack of appetite. Only one worked. I eat too much. When I was injected with the Ozempic, I didn’t eat that much,” she said.
Medical experts explain that Ozempic, known generically as semaglutide, works by mimicking a naturally occurring hormone. As those hormone levels rise, the molecules go to your brain, telling it you're full.
It also slows digestion by increasing the time it takes for food to leave the body. This is similar to the effect of bariatric surgery.
When using Ozempic to treat diabetes, weight loss is a common side effect. It is designed to be taken long-term.
According to Cultivating Health publication, Ozempic is not approved for weight loss. However, semaglutide is approved for weight loss under the name Wegovy. Ozempic has a smaller dose of semaglutide than Wegovy.
It's important to note that if you start taking either of these drugs for weight loss, your body may get used to it, establishing a new normal.
