Dateline's Josh Mankiewicz, 69, reveals 70lb weight loss and if he used Ozempic to achieve it


Mankiewicz, who has been a correspondent on NBC's Dateline for 30 years, said that after beginning his diet in May of 2023, he 'lost 70 pounds' and 'felt great.'

'This wasn't any particular diet, it was essentially just cutting out all of the things that we all sort of intuitively know that we're not supposed to eat,' the Berkeley, California native, 69, told People on Monday. 'It's tough to say goodbye to carbs forever, particularly when your ancestors invented the pierogi,' he said, 'so over time I put weight back on and every year I'd go in for my physical, and my doctor, she'd be like, you have got to work on that.' Mankiewicz said that a Peloton bike his wife purchased for him also helped him slim down, as he was intrigued by the story of a man who was successful in losing weight by finishing 100 rides.
