Recently, TikTok creator and curve model Remi Bader opened up about her experience with the weight loss drug Ozempic. Bader says when she went off Ozempic, she “gained double the weight back.”
The Remi Bader Ozempic Journey
Speaking on the Not Skinny But Not Fat podcast, she shared how she was originally prescribed the drug for her pre-diabetic, insulin resistance, and associated weight gain. Bader tells podcast host Amanda Hirsch, “They said I need this. And I had a lot of mixed feelings, because then … a few months later, got into the bad bingeing and went off it.” The 27-year-old says she was prescribed this right as the FDA approved the drug. However, after being on the drug long-term, she claims the medication actually made her binge eating worse.

Remi Bader has been vocal about her experience with binge eating disorder. She has 2.2 million followers on TikTok and has become known for her advocacy for size-inclusive fashion.
Remi says, “I saw a doctor, and they were like, ‘It’s 100% because you went on Ozempic,’” she said of the impact going off the medication had on her. “It was making me think I wasn’t hungry for so long I lost some weight. I didn’t want to be obsessed with being on it long-term.” Bader explains how she knew the second she got off she was going to continue to be starving again. Just as she thought, she continued to be hungry, and says her bingeing got much worse.
Social media has become swarmed with the hashtag #ozempic filling the feeds of users on TikTok and Instagram. In these social media videos, users explain their own experiences and negative side effects of the medication. However the increase demand of Ozempic has led to people with Type 2 diabetes not being able to get the medication they need. With limited access to Ozempic, patients have had to check multiple pharmacies, accept lower doses or even switch medications altogether.
