Greg Davies has opened up about his experience with the weight-loss drug Ozempic, revealing he lost three stone but was left feeling 'gaunt'. The Taskmaster star, who took the GLP-1 medication originally designed for type 2 diabetes, said he did not like the results.
In an interview with The Times, Davies explained that after stopping the drug, he regained about half the weight. However, he noted a lasting impact on his appetite, stating: 'My appetite’s never gone back to the way it was. I can’t ram things in the way I used to.'
A graphic simulation by YouTuber Zack D. Films has illustrated how Ozempic works in the body. The video describes how the drug activates brain regions that induce fullness, stabilises blood sugar to curb cravings, and slows stomach emptying to prolong satiety. It also warns of potential side effects like nausea and diarrhoea.
The simulation's vivid depiction of digestive issues drew strong reactions from viewers, with one commenting: 'Last scene was NOT NEEDED Zack.' Another joked: 'Tbh, watching Zack’s animations make me lose my appetite more than Ozempic.'
