Actress and singer Keke Palmer recently expressed her views on the ‘miracle’ weight loss drug Ozempic and her postpartum body on her podcast, “Baby, this is Keke Palmer,” ET Canada reports.

Critique of Ozempic: Palmer also criticized the Ozempic craze, a drug originally made for people with diabetes but now popular for weight loss.

“Ever since the girls have been using it to lose weight, the folks with diabetes ain’t able to get [it], the prices have gone up,” she lamented.

Embracing Postpartum Body: Palmer, who recently became a mother, is ready to take on more action roles post-baby.

“So it’s interesting after the baby to see all the extra stuff I have to work with and how much my fear of having extra weight actually became a strength as it pertained to weight training and working out,” she said.

Palmer emphasizes that her fitness goals are a personal choice and not a societal expectation.
