Jeremy Clarkson has shared an update on his current health after he admitted he tried Ozempic but had to ditch it because of the side effects.
We are seeing more and more people taking Ozempic, a medicine designed to be used to help people with type 2 diabetes, as a weight-loss drug.
However, there are seemingly a lot of side effects to losing a lot of weight in a short period of time, with comedian Amy Schumer also opening up about the red flags of the medicine recently.

Clarkson, who will return to our screens in season four of Clarkson's Farm in the near future, also decided to give the weight loss jab a go two years ago - but quit after six months saying it 'didn't work' and he actually gained weight.
He's now shared how he's doing now after switching to a new weight loss drug.

In his column for The Times, he said he is now 'microdosing' Mounjaro. It is another popular injectable weight loss medicine, which again has the main purpose of treating type 2 diabetes
The Who Wants To Be A Millionaire host added: "I can open the fridge, look at all the goodies in there and then close it. I haven’t lost any weight but it seems inevitable that, as I no longer want to eat my own body weight in chocolate and beef, I will."

Saying that, it hasn't been all sunshine and roses for Clarkson. Mounjaro and Ozempic work by suppressing appetite, and the presenter misses being able to eat larger portions.
He said: "When you are on Muntjac [Mounjaro], you can come down in the morning and idly help yourself to a small handful of sunflower seeds. And it’ll feel like you’ve just finished a massive Christmas lunch. You’re stuffed.
"So you find yourself living a minibar existence. Tiny packets of milk, sachets with only three grains of sugar in them, vodka in thimbles. That’s not living, though. That’s existing.
This is nothing compared with the nauseating side effects he experienced while on Ozempic, however.

Clarkson said: "My body lost the ability to deal with gluttony but once the initial enthusiasm had worn off, my mind still wanted to breakfast on Cadbury Fruit & Nut. This meant I was sick a lot. And after I had vomited, I figured I was empty and could have another bottle and maybe another bar of chocolate too.”
The presenter had to undergo heart surgery last year, without which doctors said he would have been at high risk of a heart attack.
His doctor advised him to give up all the foods you might expect to cause issues with the body, such as red meat and highly processed foods, and it seems as if he is committed to doing so.
Clarkson said earlier this year: "I do feel very well. I have been to see a dietician. The dietician has given me a pretty good list and said: ‘don't eat processed food. If it's got more than one ingredient in it, don't eat it.’ I feel great."
