Oprah Winfrey<\/a> is feeling better than ever. <\/p>\n

While the media mogul has been candid about her use<\/a> of GLP-1s for weight loss<\/a>, she recently revealed an unexpected result of the medication: She no longer drinks alcohol. <\/p>\n

\u201cI was a big fan of tequila,\u201d Winfrey told People in an interview published Dec. 30.<\/a> \u201cI literally had 17 shots one night.\u201d<\/p>\n

But after using GLP-1s, the 71-year-old said her of days outdrinking \u201c everyone at the table,\u201d are over.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe fact that I no longer even have a desire for it,\u201d she noted, \u201cis pretty amazing.\u201d<\/p>\n

That amazing feeling has carried over into almost every facet of her life.<\/p>\n

\u201cI feel more alive and more vibrant than I\u2019ve ever been,\u201d Winfrey, who confirmed she was using a GLP-1 in 2023, shared. \u201cI\u2019m not constantly punishing myself. I hardly recognize the woman I\u2019ve become. But she\u2019s a happy woman.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tOprah Winfrey is revealing why she left her nearly decade-long partnership with WeightWatchers.\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n

Plus, she feels she has more energy for her loved ones, including partner Stedman Graham who she said has been \u201cnothing but supportive.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cI feel like I have more to give to everybody,\u201d she added. \u201cI\u2019m just more open to all.\u201d<\/p>\n

There\u2019s also no longer the shame Winfrey felt over her struggle to maintain weight loss.<\/p>\n

\u201cI avoided the word \u2018obesity.\u2019 It connoted \u2018out of control,\u2019\u201d she explained. \u201cBut I came to understand that overeating doesn\u2019t cause obesity. Obesity causes overeating. And that\u2019s the most mind-blowing, freeing thing I\u2019ve experienced as an adult.”<\/p>\n

And for those with similar struggles, she has a simple message: It\u2019s not your fault. <\/p>\n

\u201cI want people to stop blaming yourself for genes and an environment you can\u2019t control,\u201d she said. \u201cI want people to have the information, whatever you choose to do with it, whether you get the medications, or whether you want to keep dieting.” <\/p>\n
