Natascha Ochsenknecht proudly shows how she has changed on social media. She shows her followers that she has lost weight with two before and after comparisons. She also reveals details about the reasons for her weight gain and her weight loss strategy.
“I’m amazed myself at how quickly I managed to do this with discipline,” writes Natascha Ochsenknecht in an Instagram post in which she presents a before and after comparison and shows that she has lost weight. The amazing thing is that there is just under a month between the photos! What exactly is behind this, and what fitness methods did the 60-year-old rely on …
Gaining Weight Through Medication
A few days ago, the mother of three discussed how she had put on weight in recent months and appeared slightly bloated. In a photo collage showing her face at the beginning of March compared to her face in April, she explained: “Last year, I had a really bad health problem. I had to take a lot of medication, and you can see the effects on the left (early March 2025). Now I’m slowly getting back on track.”
Due to speculation in the comments, in which various treatments were suspected, Ochsenknecht followed up a few days later with the following statement: “Naturally, there were also critical voices in the beginning. Facelift, hyaluronic injections, and the like. I’m sorry to disappoint you. If someone has been ill and put on a lot of weight with medication, then silence would be more fitting than making inappropriate comments. This is not the place for venting frustrations. Stay healthy everyone and cherish life.”
This Is How Natascha Ochsenknecht Works on Her Weight
What is clear is that Natascha Ochsenknecht actually looks slimmer and — more importantly — healthier and more rested in the more recent pictures. Presumably, she no longer needs to take the aforementioned medication, which has brought about a change in her appearance. However, the 60-year-old also seems to have adapted her lifestyle and is now paying more attention to her health and fitness. According to her own words, the discipline Natascha Ochsenknecht displays is as follows: ” Swimming for 30 minutes every day, I’ve now just reached 1 km in time, and I’m delighted with the result. Nutrition, almost no more sugar. Occasionally, I indulge. Why not?”
But what’s not in the game: Ozempic! The reality star also emphasizes this on Instagram: “Most importantly, I’m not using Ozempic. My father was diabetic; that’s not my way. Better to lose weight slowly than quickly and unhealthily.”

The medication, which to Natascha Ochsenknecht’s chagrin resulted in weight gain as a side effect, may be linked to her serious health problems last year. When she was filming her new documentary Die Ochsenknechts, she suffered symptoms that initially gave rise to fears that Natascha Ochsenknecht might have suffered a stroke. However, doctors were able to give the all-clear, reported BILD and others. Ochsenknecht’s management had finally explained that the 60-year-old had prolonged pneumonia and had developed a nerve disease as a result. However, treatment over several months has helped, so Natascha Ochsenknecht is now well again.
