Is it the begining of the end for Weight loss injections?

That's nice for him. I assume that he's on the committee who analyse the actual data and make decisions based on that?

I agree - admittedly I don’t need wli but I have been very overweight in the past and would have probably snapped them up at the time - early to mid twenties I fried every fad diet, pharmacy only shakes, everything (heartbreak diet solved the issue in the end haha) BUT I do think they are poorly regulated/controlled…… people are injecting insulin when they are not diabetic! That’s so dangerous! (I work in healthcare and have seen devastating effects and death from incorrect insulin management for people that actually are diabetic). Then again, I smoke and ecig and I’m sure in years to come there will be consequences with that.

You do realise that people taking the WLI do actually eat as well and shock horror exercise effectively.

I have a good friend who is a senior medic, working in endocrinology- no idea how related this field is but I’m guessing at least a bit.

He maintains that WLIs are great for those who are morbidly obese and the danger of whose co-morbidities outweigh the unknown of WLIs.

However for people who only have a couple of stone to lose it could be cumulatively detrimental. The loss of muscle tone, bone density and who knows what else because we just don’t know yet, outweigh the health benefits of weighing less.

Personally I’d love to be 3 stone lighter but I’m aware that WLIs are likely to take away my appetite and consequently my ability to exercise regularly oreffectively. And that’s the reason I won’t bother. At 52 health is more important than appearance to me.

I am concerned about the long term implications of these drugs. I agree they are a great tool and work really well for a lot of people, but I don't agree thay they should be available over the Internet and from online pharmacies. They are a medical drug and they should be monitored by a doctor, weather that be the NHS or private.

And yes I'm aware that would make them more expensive then they are now.

It's the beginning of the end, but only in the sense that the injections will be replaced by pills this year. One brand has already been approved by the FDA, and another is expected to be within 6 months.

Wise up!!!!
I've lost 6 stone in MJ. Reversed diabetes, high BP, potential heart disease, never felt as good as info right now.
Scaremongering doesn't work, my muscles are great, and my autoimmune disease has completely reversed.

It's like all medication. It has side effects and those risk side effects need to be balanced with the therapeutic effect.

You may work in healthcare but you clearly have NO clue at all about weight loss injections …

What are you on about? You watched a report about a WLI success story and from that concluded that they are actually a terrible thing that will soon be stopped? Do you normally struggle with comprehension?
