When it comes toRoss Mathews' weight loss journey, diet is key.
On Saturday, theRuPaul’s Drag Racejudge, 43, spoke toPageSixabout how he’s maintained his weight loss over the past three years.
“I’ve lost like 60 pounds, but I’ve kept it [off] for like three years,” he told the outlet at the 2023 GLAAD Media Awards Gala.
Mathews also shared that he didn’t lose weight with the help ofOzempic, an FDA-approved prescription medication for people with type 2 diabetes. It’s one of the brand names for semaglutide and tirzepatide — also known asWegovyandMounjaro— which works in the brain to impact satiety, and is the latest Hollywood weight loss trend.
“I didn’t take anything to lose it,” he said of Ozempic, “but no judgment to anyone who did. Girl, do you. Whatever you gotta do to be in the fight, be in the fight.”

“But my choices are just like yummy, good, healthy food. I call them my ‘rossipes,’ and I cook every day,” Mathews continued, noting that he also cut certain foods out of his diet.
“I broke up with pizza, and then I fell in love with the love of my life, my husband [Dr. Wellinthon García], and we just take really good care of each other,” he told the outlet.
“I moved to New York and you walka lothere. I’m walking everywhere,” The Drew Barrymore Showco-host said, adding that he and his husband take walks through the city together whenever they get off work.
