36 kilos in three months: With medical help

The 79-year-old has lost 36 kilos in a short space of time – from 134 to 98 kilos.

“It was 8 kilos less after just a few days”

In an interview with Bild, Siegel explained: “I have had very good experiences with the weight loss injection. After just a few days, eight kilos were gone.” The rapid weight loss motivated him to keep at it. Today, he says he finally feels “comfortable in his own skin again”.

Change of diet and less alcohol

In addition to the injection, his diet also played a role. Siegel cut down on carbohydrates and fat and generally only ate half as much. The only thing the music producer doesn’t want to do without is his evening glass of wine or a beer.(Source: t-online.de) His wife Laura Käfer supported him not only with the injections, but also in his everyday life.

Be careful with weight loss injections: Experts warn

As RTL reports, such drugs are not without risks – especially for older people. Side effects such as nausea, digestive problems or more serious complications can occur. Other celebrities, such as Jasmin Herren or Kate Moss’ sister, have been hospitalized.

Return to the stage: musical premiere in October

Siegel plans to appear at the premiere of his musical “Zeppelin” in Füssen in October with a new sense of physicality. Last time he had to appear in a wheelchair – he wants to avoid that at all costs this year.(Source: t-online.de) Until then, he remains consistent and wants to maintain his new weight – even without further injections.

Conclusion: Ralph Siegel reinvents himself – physically and mentally

At 79, Ralph Siegel shows that it is never too late to do something for yourself and your health. The radical weight loss is impressive, but – as he himself emphasizes – should always be medically supervised. Wegovy is not a miracle cure, but a medical aid whose use must be carefully considered. The fact that Siegel is taking this step so publicly could also encourage others – especially if they have health problems.(Source: RTL.de)
