, the CNN boss championed Ozempic in meetings and told colleagues he was using it as far back as 2021 to get his weight under control."He told me he was on Ozempic," one source said."So I was shocked when I read the Atlantic story and he was claiming it was due to a trainer and cutting meals."
In the Atlantic profile, Licht, 51, boasted about his ascetic eating habits and intense early-morning workouts with trainer Joe Maysonet."I'm a fucking machine," Licht told The Atlantic, explaining why he was skipping a meal. Licht weighed 226 pounds in 2020 but dropped down to 178 pounds this March. He mocked his predecessor Jeff Zucker, saying"Zucker couldn't do this shit" while squatting during a workout.
But Licht apparently said nothing to the Atlantic about the drug that sources say was key to weight loss. "People read that paragraph in that Atlantic story and were floored he was leaving out the real secret to losing all his weight: Ozempic," a source told the Daily Mail.
