International: The couple said that in addition to taking the drug, they have maintained healthy lifestyle habits, noting that you still “have to put in the work.”
During the April 10 episode of the couple’s Workin’ On It podcast, the "Made You Look" singer, 31, talked about the couple's experience taking Mounjaro, an FDA-approved prescription medication for people with type 2 diabetes. It's a brand name for tirzepatide — also known as Zepbound — which is highly effective for weight loss by reducing appetite and improving how the body breaks down sugar and fat.
Mounjaro is similar to Ozempic and Wegovy — brand names for semaglutide. They work in the brain to impact satiety and have been trending in and out of Hollywood. “We did 75 Hard after [our son]Riley. Was born and, man, did we crush,” said Sabarao. “Then, we heard more and more of our friends and even our doctors were on Mounjaro and Ozempic,” added Trainor.
Trainor said she decided to take Mounjaro because after talking to their doctor and doing her research, she determined that it “had less side effects” than other weight-loss drugs. “So, I did it, too,” Sabara, 32, said before Trainor quipped, “Daryl and I both do everything together.”
Trainor then stressed that “you have to put in the work as well,” explaining that she and her husband made sure to maintain their healthy lifestyle habits in addition to taking the weight-loss aid. “We were like, ‘We have to make sure we don’t lose muscle that we worked so hard gaining all those years,’” she said. “We stay in the gym, we work out, we eat right, and we just noticed that we were less hungry.” “We’ve been on this journey for a while, and we learned how there are right ways to do it and there are improper ways to do it,” Sabara added.
On the podcast, Trainor added that she has “no shame” being on Mounjaro because of how great it’s been for her health. The singer said she doesn't mind being open about her journey but admitted to being hurt by the criticism she received for using medication to slim down. The Grammy winner recalled reading countless comments about her body after an interview she did about being honored at the Billboard Women in Music Awards in March.
“Everyone just wants to talk about my body, and we’re not here about my body. I’m here about my music,” she said. “I’m reading these comments, and I go, ‘Oh my God, these are all bad.’ There was not one nice comment. Like, the meanest things I’ve ever been told. I looked up, and I just started sobbing. "Trainor said her two close girlfriends helped console her and told her she’s beautiful, reminding her that people on social media aren’t important.
“I just felt like a 13-year-old girl being bullied out loud in front of my whole class again,” she continued. “Later, I was so frustrated. Everyone’s calling me ‘Ozempi Ozempi’ so I’m just going to explain my journey with my health in an Instagram post and I’m never going to talk to them about it ever again on my social media.” “Everyone, leave me alone or stop talking about my body,” she said.
