She frames the plan as long-term maintenance centered on feeling healthier, with protein-focused products to support nutrition.

Overview

  • The Real Housewives of Salt Lake City star says she will stay on GLP-1 medication to maintain her weight, emphasizing how she feels rather than the scale.
  • She began Ozempic/semaglutide in 2023, tried different GLP-1 options to manage side effects, and later disclosed a roughly 25-pound loss.
  • Gay is promoting a paid partnership with Atkins and uses high-protein shakes and bars to help meet nutrition needs during reduced appetite.
  • She pairs the regimen with exercise such as yoga and says she feels healthier and more comfortable in her body in her 50s.
