Charles Barkley Has Lost A Ton Of Weight, Stuns Fans At ‘The Match’

Charles Barkley is looking slim these days, and fans are loving it.

During the NHL Stanley Cup playoffs, Barkley revealed that he got a stern warning from his doctor to lose weight, or he could be risking his life.

“My doctor told me I was fat. So I’m down 60 pounds,” Barkley said.

“She said to me, ‘There’s no fat old people, only fat young people.’ And she said, ‘If you don’t get this stuff together you’re not gonna be around.’”

Last month Barkley told Pat McAfee that he was taking the drug Mounjaro, a drug primarily meant to treat Type 2 Diabetes that has been linked to weight loss.

He said it was thanks to Mounjaro. He told “The Pat McAfee Show” he went from 352 to 290 pounds.

According to information from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, Mounjaro is used along with diet and exercise to help regulate blood sugar in adults with Type 2 diabetes.

Mounjaro is the brand name for tirzepatide. It is similar to other popular drugs such as Ozempic and Wegovy, both of which are the brand names for semaglutide. Wegovy was approved by the FDA in 2021.

During TNT’s broadcast of ‘The Match’ on Thursday, fans were stunned to see how fit Barkley was looking these days.
