Heidi Montag Pratt is throwing shade at those jumping on the Ozempic weight loss bandwagon.
During a recent appearance on PageSix's Virtual Reali-Tea podcast, the 37-year-old Hills alum revealed that she recently lost 22 pounds. And that's without relying on Ozempic, an FDA-approved prescription drug for people with type 2 diabetes.
It's one of the brand names for semaglutide — also known as Wegovy — which works in the brain to affect feelings of satiety and is the latest weight-loss trend in Hollywood.
Host Evan Real asked Monday what she thinks of the current Ozempic craze and whether she's ever thought about taking advantage of it.
“I'm not looking for a magical solution to weight loss. I strive for long-term health. I'm looking for the best for my health.

Montag added that she's not “looking for a magic wand” when it comes to her health and weight loss journey, noting that she believes Ozempic is just a trend that will eventually fade.
“I don’t want to name names or get involved in it, it’s just not something I would ever do,” she said.
“I like doing hard work,” she explained, while promoting the use of the dietary supplement Hydroxycut, which is marketed as an over-the-counter weight loss aid despite limited research on its effectiveness.
“I want to do something that will help my body 10 years from now, 20 years from now, and that is a healthy lifestyle, proper nutrition, exercise and also supplements to help you get there.”
Montag isn't the only celebrity who isn't a fan of Ozempic for weight loss.
Vanderpump Rules star Lala Kent, Real Housewives of New Jersey stars Danielle Cabral and Jackie Goldschneider, and Julia Fox are among the celebrities who have publicly criticized the injectable drug.
