    Side effects?

    Have they considered what these might be?

    Perhaps if they just ate the main meal and didn't have any sides they wouldn't need the jab in the first place?

    Ok, there appears to be a misconception perpetrated by big Pharma and believed by the desperate that somehow you have a jab and boom the fact disappears.

    Miracle fat reducing jabs have been around for years. Clenbuterol, originally an asthma medication. Ozempic, a diabeties drug. T5 an Asprin, Caffeine and Ephedrine stack. Meth, Cocaine, Whizz, Speed etc.

    How do these work? Simple, they are all appetite suppressants. Yes that's right, they don't "melt fat away", that is scientifically impossible in a human, they merely reduce the urge to consume calories. Some components will raise the temperature of the body which may assist with the thermogenic processes, whilst others will create a faster heart rate and increased metabolic function. But 10 minutes on a treadmill will give a much better and safer result.

    Spoiler alert for all the fatties out there and I am one of you. It's not a short cut to a beach body. If you still consume more energy (Calories) than you expend (exercise) then you will not lose weight, fat or size.

    Sorry but the idea that you can just jab and go, especially straight into Greggs or Maccies is the stuff of science fiction.

    If the Government is serious about the Nations Health, and the attitude during lockdown shows they weren't (close the gyms but keep the takeaways open), then there are better ways to help reverse the decline.

    Affordable, accessible ways to exercise, I mean £30 for a family to go swimming is a P take, reduce the hours that takeaway delivery services can operate, or better still ban them. Better education about nutrition, health and exercise would be a good start oh and stop the "fat and fit" culture. If you're 50lbs + overweight, that's not fit no matter how many steps you can take.

    I, at over 100lbs overweight appreciate more than most that it isn't easy, in fact after my 60th in October I am undertaking a harsh exercise and weight loss challenge where I will attempt to burn 6,000 Calories a day for 60 days whilst only consuming my BMR calories.

    If, however people want to go down the fat loss jab route then good luck to them and I genuinely hope they have success. I do feel though that the cause of the original problem will still be there, ready to re emerge once the cycle of medication is complete.
    Disordered eating requires finding a way of consuming food that is sustainable, enjoyable and provides for a calorie deficit. Only then can lasting weight loss be achieved.
