Amanda Caroline Cronin, known for her upcoming role on The Real Housewives of London and her luxury skincare empire, is opening up about the secret behind her striking figure. At 57, the former model and socialite has turned to a trending but controversial aid: Ozempic.
Amanda Caroline Cronin, who gained over 20 pounds during menopause, decided to take action when her dress size began to climb. “I lost weight on Ozempic last year – 10 kilos on a microdose of 0.25 in six weeks,” she told MailOnline.
“I have managed to keep it off and just microdose a few weeks a year if the weight starts to creep up,” she explained. “I decided to lose weight as my dress size crept up from six to eight to ten in two years. I was a double zero all my life – now I’m a size zero in couture.”
Her transformation turned heads during a recent appearance in Monaco, where she wore a bold yellow Melissa Odabash bikini poolside at the exclusive Monte-Carlo Beach Hotel. The five-night stay in her suite? A cool £11,400.
As she gears up for her reality TV debut, Amanda joins a growing number of real housewives who’ve credited GLP-1 medications like Ozempic for weight loss.
Amanda, however, emphasized that she’s experienced no negative side effects. “There were no side effects at all from microdosing, and it helped me give up using alcohol socially as it doesn’t mix well and can make you feel tired or nauseous,” she said.
“After six weeks of not drinking at all, I decided to keep going!”
Though Ozempic is typically prescribed to patients with a BMI over 35 and additional medical conditions, Amanda said a doctor friend provided her with the medication. She found the drug particularly helpful in navigating menopause-related challenges.
“GLP-1 rebalances the body’s resistance to insulin which occurs when the oestrogen levels are low – in perimenopause, menopause, post-menopause,” she explained. “This is a factor of weight gain in menopause.”
“I feel this has been a positive and long-lasting solution to weight management. Even without the Ozempic, now my insulin resistance is rebalanced I no longer gain weight, bloat, or retain water as before. My annual medical blood test results were so impressive and improved, I cried!”
Alongside the medication, Amanda sticks to a disciplined wellness routine that includes walking 20,000 steps a day, Pilates, swimming three times a week, and eating a Mediterranean-style diet.
“I enjoy food but have a small appetite. I enjoy seafood, fish and salads – the Mediterranean diet.”
As she prepares to step into the limelight with The Real Housewives of London, Amanda Cronin is proving that reinvention doesn’t have an age limit—and for her, a microdose made a macro impact.
