While Tylor Chase Gets Help, Amanda Bynes Recovers From Downfall After Nickelodeon Fame With a Transformation

Amanda Bynes is taking matters into her own hands and is ready to feel better about herself with a transformation. This comes after fellow Nickelodeon star, Tylor Chase, made headlines recently regarding his living conditions. More on this later.

In the early 00s’, Bynes had a lot going for her. After gaining popularity as a child actor and her work on Nickelodeon, Bynes transitioned into the film industry, starring in 2002’s Big Fat Liar. Unfortunately, she saw a steep downfall, and now, that’s all people seem to talk about.

But Bynes is not giving up. The actress is trying to turn her life around for the better through a transformation, no matter how she achieves her desired results. She shared a rare photo of herself on her Instagram story after shedding almost 30 pounds through Ozempic.

To accompany the paparazzi photo she posted on her story, Bynes wrote, “I usually don’t like paparazzi pictures bc I was 180lbs, but now I’ve lost 28lbs on Ozempic!” In the photo, the actress was seen wearing ripped jeans, a Lady Gaga T-shirt, and holding a blue bag.

Unlike those who look down upon Ozempic or try to keep it a secret, Bynes has been open and honest about how the drug has helped her feel more confident about herself. At least she’s not hiding behind lies.

Amanda Bynes’ Ozempic and Weight Loss Journey

Back in June, Amanda Bynes revealed on her Instagram, @amandapandapandapanda1, that she was starting her Ozempic journey, stating, “Oh, I’m going on Ozempic. So excited” (via Radar Online).

She added, “I’m 173 now, so I hope to get down to like 130, which would be awesome, so I look better in paparazzi pictures.” While her latest update tells that she still has a few more pounds to go before she reaches her goal, it’s good to see Bynes feel better about herself.

In November, Bynes told her audience that she had lost 20 pounds, something which she was “so excited” about. She added that while she was on the Ozempic pill, she actually ended up gaining weight. However, when she switched to the injectable version of the drug, she saw better results.

Bynes stated, “It’s really working for me.” Unwilling to hide the truth behind her weight loss, the actress added, “I’m trying to lose more weight just to feel skinny and cute, so I will keep taking Ozempic.“

While this method seems to be working for Bynes, it is important to know about the side effects of the prescription drug. As Baptist Health states, Ozempic is the brand name for semaglutide, which is a medication that helps people with diabetes control their blood sugar.

It reduces glucose production in the liver, thus increasing insulin production in the pancreas. Taking the drug for weight loss is not recommended by experts. Apart from side effects like stomach pain, nausea, heartburn, and more, the increased demand creates a shortage for diabetic patients who need the drug.

His former co-stars, Daniel Curtis Lee and Lindsey Shaw, addressed the situation on the podcast, Ned’s Declassified Podcast Survival Guide, stating, “It was a lot to process for me. When I first saw it, I was angry, because I was like why put a camera in someone’s face when they are on hard times? I feel powerless, I feel like there’s not much I can do.“

Thankfully, Lee stood steadfast on his promise of helping Chase out and got him checked into a hotel room after taking him to lunch. Take a look at the video below:

Chase has broken his silence on his living condition, telling the Daily Mail, “It’s not too shabby. Life always gets better, keep your head up.” The 36-year-old was spotted by the outlet on the streets of Riverside, California, picking up cigarette butts and discarded Christmas cards.

Despite his situation, Chase seemed to be upbeat and insisted that he was not homeless. He said, “It’s not really like that, I have friends and family. I stay around here locally. My mom is here,’ he said. ‘I have a lot of good people helping me…It’s not too shabby. A lot of people help out. It goes a long way.“

He stated that apart from friends and family, he has the housing shelter assistance program, and seemed truly grateful for everything. Apparently, when the outlet offered food, he asked for marijuana instead. Chase also added that he would like to go see his father in Georgia.

As both Bynes and Chase navigate through this difficult period of their lives, we wish them both nothing but the best. Share your thoughts in the comments section below.
