Another mosley cashing in

[Sickofitandmore]

Partnered with the Daily mail as usual. Michael Mosleys son is taking over the task of cashing in on people's weight struggles. So now instead of being plagued with his late df's money extracting diet plans, we are going to be subjected to Jack Mosley's take on weight loss drugs. Such blatant jumping on the band wagon to squeeze some money out. People are losing lots of weight with the weight loss jabs and no longer need to pay people to give them another faddy diet plan. WW has felt it, SW will hopefully be next and when will the Mosleys just bugger off?!

Agreed

Based on others findings and research. If you look in the books you will see it's all based on others work.

Surely just do what works for you! Weighlosa drugs are one day, diet plans are another. Depends on the person and how much you want/need to loose

I think that this thread is in very poor taste considering MM's pretty recent tragic death.

You do you OP. His weightloss plans (still available for free on his podcast) did help many people. Not his fault if you needed medication.

3 of my work colleagues have said they have been on WLI. 2 of those have suffered badly with side effects and stopped taking them.

I completely agree with you OP, I checked out when he started selling UPF diet shakes

gosh
i thought this was about Oswald Mosley and fascism.

i am sure Jack will do some good

I dont understand your bitterness @Sickofitandmore .

Whats your story?

I've lost four stones in 11 months by intermittent fasting. I have not spent a penny on any MM books or info, just skim read an article when he died which piqued my interest.
I would rather shove glass in my eyes than inject myself with a diet drug.

You seem very bothered. Just step away from the Daily Mail and the work of MM.

It feels like he will slot right in where his DF left off. I think it’s obvs bcos of the circumstances re his F’s loss & the sentiment towards them & the success of the brand that he can carry on bearing the torch. MM was a great communicator & has probably had an huge impact on pple’s health & wellbeing even though his diets were far from being as revolutionary as he claimed. But his marketing of them & mode of delivery was. I can see the more cynical side too though & the fact that Moseley junior will just be the new nepo face of a v lucrative brand. And I do get a big sick of being mansplained to by doctors a bit like those Van Tulekin brothers who nobody can ever argue with bcos they’re doctors & slightly annoying somehow. I think I have a tolerance for how much preaching & advice giving I can take!

If I was you, I’d just have a big Sunday morning fry up and try to take your mind off Michael Mosley and son. You sound like someone trying to start controversy where there really isn’t any. There is more than one way to lose weight/get healthy. Michael Mosley explored more than one. I honestly don’t see the problem. People can borrow the books from the library if they don’t want to buy them. I was able to download a couple onto my iPad library app. There are loads of other free ways to access the information too.

Of all the things to be outraged about you choose this?

I liked and respected Michael Mosley and I wish his son, and whole family, well in carrying on the family business, particular after such tragedy.

But not his own research.

I don’t know why it’s better that a doctor is using what other people have researched rather than a traditional influencer.

That's how science works luv, pretty sure WLI are built on the science and research that people have done over many years on diabetes 🙄

Me too! So much rage.

I dont know anything about either the Mosleys or WLI, but I do know that you can lose weight with neither.

Do you work for mounjaro?

I imagine a simple, cheap, effective weight loss approach could be devastating for them.

Surely it’s up to individuals how they chose to lose weight. Diet, health and fitness aren’t going away just because a small number of those who want to lose weight have decided to use injections to do so.

i suspect losing eight naturally and slowly, without injecting yourself, is a much more healthier and sustaining way of doing so.

Ive never read one of these Mosely books, or others from any number of other authors so have no issue either way.

surely if you didn’t want to read and follow a diet and fitness book you just don’t buy it. Can’t see why they shouldn’t be able to bring one out just because you’d rather inject yourself instead 🤷

Have you read the Mosley books - including forewords? Did you miss Professor Taylor’s praise? Plus Longo and others all happy with the promotion Mosley gave their work?

What a mean spirited thread to start!

The Van T brothers might be annoying to you but you can’t say they’re mansplaining as their audience is men and women. A bit patronising maybe. I think they are better suited to children’s presenting.

I agree it’s sensible but for different reasons. He has access to a great money spinner, he would be a fool to take ovwr his Dad’s business. I also suspect the Fast 800 plan which you sign up to cost a lot to set up and they have to keep going to recoup the money they invested in it.

Unpopular opinion, but I think the amount of people, particularly those who don't have huge amounts to lose, using the WLI is very worrying.

Yes, for very obese people the side affects probably outweigh the health problems associated with being obese. However, people who only have a few stone to lose, who wouldn't necessarily be prescribed them, are playing a dangerous game. Rapid weight loss not only means you're losing fat, you're also losing muscle and bone mass - presumably why many people taking them start to look gaunt. And the longterm affects are yet to be seen. What happens when you stop using them? If you've got issues regulating your food intake then surely that returns once your appetite is no longer suppressed?

And yes, people can get them without prescription, a local beautician is selling them

To my mind, the only way to successfully lose weight, and keep it off, is by changing your diet and lifestyle.

You have no idea yet what these drugs can do re side effects so rather ignorant of you.

Exactly. They don't magically burn the weight off you, they just reduce your appetite a bit. So unless you learn to eat healthy sized portions, eat the right things and exercise, like everyone else who bangs on about how injections are "cheating", you'll just put the weight back on as soon as you stop the injections.

I really don't understand the smug superiority of people doing it "the proper way". Does anyone criticise people using nicotine patches to help them give up smoking? Medication to help give up alcohol addiction or drug use? Why aren't they all expected to do it without help? It's all on the same continuum. They're all people who have tried and tried to improve to be healthier and can't do it without medical help, but for some weird reason it's only people using WLI that are accused of cheating. Sorry, but fuck that.
