The health guru has recognised that weight loss injections are effective, but warned that relying on them too much to slim down may hinder goals.
Health guru Michael Mosley has shared his expert thoughts on the current ream of weight loss injections taking the world by storm.
Semaglutide is a compound that is found in brands including Ozempic, Wegovy and Moujourno and these treatments are prescribed with the single purpose of treating type 2 diabetes complications by regulating blood sugar levels. Mr Mosley, who was diagnosed with the condition, has openly discussed how he turned to intermittent fasting to help reverse it, while also losing 10 stone.
Michael says that Semaglutide is classifed as a GLP-1 drug, in that it is able to mimic the hormone of the same name that initiates fullness. As the Just One Thing author states, such treatments are known to have unpleasant side effects. "On the other side of it, of course, there has also been lots of evidence that when you stop taking the drug, hunger returns and the weight goes back on," he added. "Some people report feeling even hungrier, a sort of rebound reaction. So unless you have made lifestyle changes, then you will start to put on weight again, and quite a lot of that weight is going to be fat."
