Andy cohen Reveals Struggle with Food and Weight Before 25-Pound Loss
Bravo host andy Cohen recently shared details about his weight loss journey and past struggles with food, revealing he was ”hoovering food” and experiencing a lack of self-control before losing 25 pounds. Cohen, 55, discussed his experience on a recent episode of SiriusXM’s Radio Andy, detailing both dietary changes and a brief period of using a GLP-1 medication.
Cohen’s openness comes as weight-loss drugs gain prominence and scrutiny, especially within the reality television landscape he oversees as a producer and host. His candid admission about briefly ”microdosing” a GLP-1, despite frequently questioning Real Housewives stars about their own body transformations, acknowledges a potential hypocrisy and sparks a broader conversation about transparency surrounding weight loss methods.The host stated he felt ”really unhappy” with his weight and was also concerned about potential health issues like “plaque in my arteries and high blood pressure.”
The television personality described a pattern of overeating, citing instances of consuming entire portions of food his son rejected and seeking out sweets even while at work hosting Watch What Happens Live.”I was a psycho,” Cohen admitted, recalling grabbing cookies despite already having consumed two tequilas on air.
He credits the GLP-1 medication with helping to curb cravings and improve his discipline with diet and exercise, describing himself as now on a “rigorous health journey.” Cohen also emphasized that he feels “great” and is committed to continuing his career, with CNN’s Anderson Cooper noting he is “looking sexy” and “here to stay.” He initially discussed his use of the drug after Labor Day, acknowledging it was meaningful to be upfront given his years of questioning others about their weight loss regimens.
