The Clarkson's Farm star admitted he "was sick" on Ozempic and actually gained weight while taking it
Jeremy Clarkson has revealed he's ditched Ozempic after it made him "sick" and has instead started snacking on a more unusual food item in a bid to shed the pounds.
The Amazon Prime Clarkson's Farm star recently admitted to having "less than a decade" and has been searching for a way to overhaul his lifestyle.

In his Sunday Times column, Clarkson expalined: "My body lost the ability to deal with gluttony but once the initial enthusiasm had worn off, my mind still wanted to breakfast on Cadbury Fruit & Nut.
"This meant I was sick a lot. And after I had vomited, I figured I was empty and could have another bottle and maybe another bar of chocolate too."
However, he hasn't ditched the type 2 diabetes drugs entirely, as he has been "microdosing" Mounjaro for the past three months which he claims is working "better".
Yet, Clarkson isn't finished searching for new ways to cut down, as he has now "discovered" one of the more unusual foods to help his journey - snail caviar.
“It is… actually unborn snails," The Grand Tour host admitted, adding: "But weirdly it does taste and feel like the real deal. So you can pop a teaspoon of that onto half a Ritz cracker and you have yourself the 21st century’s answer to a medieval banquet.”
Snail caviar is the roe or eggs of land snails, which are lightly cured (salted) and used as a gourmet delicacy across a vairety of nations including France, Austria, Czechia, and Poland.
In an interview with The Guardian in April last year, Jeremy expressed a growing concern about his mortality, suggesting he had less than a decade left.
He was quoted saying: "I don't have long. I've probably only got what, 70,000 hours left, maybe?"
It came after he suggested that a doctor had told him he might have been just days away from death, back in October.
In the presenter's column, he detailed his health scare that began with difficulty using stairs on holiday abroad and a "sudden deterioration" upon returning home.

He recalled feeling "clammy," experiencing chest "tightness" and "pins and needles" in his left arm.
