Gayle King recently revealed a significant weight loss achievement, shedding seven pounds in just five days through a restrictive soup diet. The “CBS This Morning” anchor shared before-and-after photos on a weighing scale, documenting her success on the undisclosed meal plan.
This recent accomplishment follows King’s earlier admission of gaining approximately 13 pounds during the COVID-19 quarantine. In October 2020, she expressed her struggles with weight gain, noting her weight had increased from 159.2 pounds to 172.2 pounds.
While King has not publicly discussed using weight loss injections, her close friend Oprah Winfrey disclosed in December 2023 that she had been using medication for her own dramatic body transformation. Winfrey, who has been open about her past struggles with weight, reaching a peak of 237 pounds in 1992 and later achieving a goal weight of 160 pounds, commented earlier this year on how these medications, like Ozempic and Wegovy, offered her a new outlook on “thin people.” She realized that what she had previously attributed to willpower was, actually, a reduction in intrusive hunger thoughts, frequently enough termed “food noise.”
