This is so silly, lacks vision and doesn’t actually address the eating and regression habits in the UK the are causing the spiraling of obesity.
The messaging about these jabs is so wildly off the mark it’s unreal.
It’s not just have the jab, eat what you want, do no exercise and it’ll drop off you anyway. It has to be a boost to an otherwise healthy diet and exercise regime to work well.
I’ve looked into the jabs as I am overweight, have talked to other people who have had them and I’ve decided to do things “the old fashioned way” and since mid-January I’m 26kg down.
I know some people will need the help, weight loss isn’t linear, people have disabilities and other medical issues that prevent them from being able lose weight naturally but billing this as a miracle jab that’ll cure all and make you skinny with little to no effort is just straight up mis-selling it.
You’ll still need to put in a phenomenal amount of work along the way as well.
Press X to doubt. Even if these jabs are actually safe enough for wide scale use (which we don’t know yet) then clearly not everyone will want to use them and not everyone will be able to.
The other day I saw a bloke on the internet eat a kebab that was a meter long (that is about 3 foot btw)
And they’ll have to take the jabs forever. Amazing money making.
I do wonder about the actual side effects on people though. It can’t be good for you (question is, are the effects worse than being large)
>It estimates fat jabs could boost the economy by 257,000 working days — worth £35.6million per year.
Saving the country a whole £35m? That will change everything!
20 years from now….
‘Did you or a family member take the fat jab between the years 2025 – 2035, you may be entitled to compensation’
How have we got to the point that jabs are needed for this, the issue is people have either no self care or they are not educated around food and exercise (the latter of which is amazing but does very little to lose weight). People still demonise fat and think diet coke is better for you…
I know two people on the jabs, and I can’t believe how effective they are. I think people of a normal weight struggle to appreciate that for most obese people, eating is literally on their mind all the time, for no fault of their own — the ability to turn that off is all that is needed to make a massive difference to their lives.
We’re basically living in a world where obesity is “cured”, which is insane. Especially following a bit more R&D to reduce side effects that some people seem to get, and *especially* when it’ll be available in pill form.
I’m diabetic and on mounjaro for the last 6 months and to be honest it hasn’t done anything. I still eat and drink as normal. If you think you don’t have to diet on these drugs you’re wrong. People using them when they don’t need to just to shed a few extra pounds sends the wrong message.
After a year of this the food industry will be lobbying as profits will be down if no one is eating all the unhealthy gear
Would hopefully mean they put healthy foods front and centre instead
Famous people who have taken those jabs look terrible. I’ve seen healthier looking drug addicts.
Coming from a former fatty, please loose weight the old fashioned way – diet and exerscise.
I know someone on the jabs and they buy them privately. It suppresses their appetite so they eat once a day, basically drastically reducing the amount of calorie in take to healthy levels. He’s lost a lot of weight and looks and feels better for it. The other side of this is he said you need to be prepared for the side effects because it affects people in different ways and he’s worried what will happen when he eventually stops using them.
He has a friend also on the jabs and it affects his bowels. He did a shit at work that was so bad his colleague said he was going to phone a plumber because there is a problem with the drains. He had to own up that it’s him and it’s due to the jabs.
I am certain that the jab will bring more problems than solutions
Amazing how many people are complaining here about medication that has already been proven to be extremely effective.
If we didn’t offer it in the UK I’m sure those same people would be complaining about how we’re always behind the curve. Man people just love a moan
The jabs may stop the amount of food but not change the type!
High calorific foods with little actual nutritional value being eaten while losing weight mah seem great, until you factor in how many fat people don’t do any exercise.
We will be fat free because none of us can afford our food shopping
My GP is constantly trying to push me on to these jabs. I flaty refuse and he really doesn’t like that.
I am overweight and diabetic, however through basic exercise my weight is steadily tracking downwards.
My objection is I am not a fan of just taking medication for the sake of it, especially when there is a natural and zero cost option, i.e diet and exercise.
Secondly, I would have to administer the jabs at home and that simply isn’t happening, it is way out of my comfort zone.
Remember that the drugs companies have been fined for using pharmacies to push these drugs.
Imagine how much they are paying to turf social media.
We will be fat free in a decade because we will all be starving to death in economic ruin never mind the jabs.
One massive side effect mounjaro has is it stops snoring. That on it’s own is worth the price.
Are we actually giving any credence to anything printed by that shitrag?
This title is misleading and making the entire country ‘fat free’ is simply a fantasy. It would cost so much money whilst providing little benefit in return. Investing in productivity, taxing the wealthy and funding public services would save the economy tens of billions
I’m waiting for the horrific long term side effects to become apparent. No such thing as a free lunch so to speak.
I’m surprised the figure is as low as 6billion. So many health problems caused by being overweight leading to time off work, increased benefits, increased doctor and hospital visits. Seems like a good investment to me. Didn’t realise it helped with stopping drinking too.
Change diet. Eat healthy and over time you won’t have those horrible cravings, and thinking of unhealthy food will make you sick without any medicine.
Cravings are there because you never feel fool, because food like those don’t provide proper nutrients and your body gets trained to constantly crave for food. Also eat proper breakfast and at have healthy snacks at healthy intervals.
It seems that Capitalism has come full circle.
Big companies sell us ultra high processed food that makes us sick and now they sell us the cure.
As people have said, it has to be in conjunction with a change of lifestyle, education and policy.
Does anyone actually believe { apart from lefties } the rubbish this clown spouts.
Ha! Clearly underestimating how much we like a a biscuit with our cups) of tea…
Imagine wasting £6bn instead of eating healthy and exercising every now and then. Thank god for the jabs – the only way apparently of losing weight
This just isn’t true. Currently, if you have a BMI of 35 or over, you cannot just sign up for the jabs under the NHS. I dont know where they got that from. Loads of people who are obese want the jabs but either cannot access them because they are all sold out, or they cannot afford to pay £200 per month for them. If more people could easily access these jabs, they would do.
Please can I know what happens when people stop taking the jab? Or can they take them for life?
I’ve lost over 5 stone twice in my life through the old fashioned way. Once when I was in my late teens (poor childhood) and secondly after having 2 children in the space of 2 years (totally my fault, couldn’t eat right or workout). I would not take the jab.
Counterpoint: if no one is fat life expectancy increases and the govt has to pay out much more in state & public sector pensions
The sad thing is I don’t want to be part of the “I told you so” camp. But you will all realise this is unhealthy bullshit, and potentially very dangerous, just as it *always* has been in the past.
This country needs far better food education.
Seriously, is no one making a jabs for jabbers joke? Well I’m definitely not doing it…
Except for all the people who can’t and shouldn’t use them. Ffs. Sick of hearing about the jab being our saviour.
How about people just stop eating so much rubbish and exercise?
There are some circumstances where people might find this difficult but for the most part it’s an effort and control decision that most people just don’t have the tenacity to stick with.
All those anti vaxxers sure are quick to inject other stuff
lol, no we won’t. Lying to yourself if you think that
