Alison Hammond addressed Ozempic speculation in an April 4 interview with the Telegraph, shutting down claims that weight-loss medication played a role in her recent 150-pound transformation. While some fans have praised and raised an eyebrow at the Great British Bake Off host’s progress, Hammond clarified her journey was driven by lifestyle changes.
“I’m still overweight!” she joked. “It makes me laugh when I see comments like ‘Alison is so skinny now.’ I’m still overweight! I’m a size 20! I’m by far not at my ideal weight for my height.”
A pre-diabetes warning pushed Alison Hammond to action.
According to Daily Mail, her health journey began after a pre-diabetes warning. Since then, changes to her diet and routine have brought her levels into the “optimum range.” She’s also embraced her appearance.
“I like being bigger than everyone! I don’t want to take up less space in the world,” Hammond, who once weighed over 390 pounds, quipped. “I want to fill that space.”
Hammond said she works with three personal trainers and regularly does Pilates, boxing, circuit training, and strength workouts. She also called weight-loss drugs like Ozempic “frightening,” citing concerns based on what she’s seen.
