Remember the Titans star Ethan Suplee is issuing a warning about GLP-1s.
Suplee, 50, kicked off his career on Boy Meets World before hitting it big in the football classic Remember the Titans. But the actor has gained tremendous notoriety in recent years for his serious physical transformation, which included dropping 300 pounds. But in a new interview, Suplee issued a warning about GLP-1s like Ozempic and Mounjaro, saying that he doesn’t believe they’re a “one-stop shop.” Instead, he believes they must be a part of a bigger conversation.
“As a kid, I wanted a magical diet drug so badly. And now we have what is a magical diet drug,” he told Fox News Digital. “I think, unfortunately, it’s also not a one-stop shop. I think you can hop on a GLP-1 and experience weight loss. You can see the scale go down week over week for a long time without having to do anything else.”

Is Suplee Against GLP-1s?
No. The star made it clear that if you’re overweight, dropping some pounds will improve your health, no matter how you do it. However, he doesn’t believe that people who truly want to transform their physiques should rely solely on them.
“By the way, a small amount of weight loss provides a huge health benefit,” he noted. “So if you’re just going into it, going like, ‘I just want to be healthier. Let me hop on this GLP-1 agonist and improve my health.’ Bravo to you. You’re going to do that … I’m not criticizing those people.”
However, he made it clear that for people who want to reach their “ideal” weight, a GLP-1 can’t be the only component of their plan.
“I think for those people, just hopping on a GLP-1 is not enough,” Suplee added. “I think it also will require some resistance training to preserve lean tissue … maybe increase protein a bit … I just think [they] aren’t a one-stop shop.”
