Had a night of insomnia so been having a browse… crazy how they demonise UPF, carbs, booze, basically everything yet these weight loss injections are the best thing since sliced bread. ( homemade not upf)
I’m not slating the injections btw i’m sure they have a place under proper medical supervision but to get them online, not really caring about the long term issues with them, just anything not to be FAT. seems a bit crazy to me.
Move over Ozempic there's a new skinny jab in town, Mounjaro. When I first saw the thread, I stupidly thought it was about climbing Kilimanjaro and it was yet another twee Mumsnettism for the mountain.
What's worrying, reading the threads, Saxenda, Wegovy, Ozempic etc despite costing around £200 a month, aren't the magic solution people think. They're still not losing weight. They're still binge eating. There are very few success stories, and those tend to be the ones where the drug makes them too nauseous to eat. I think online pharmacies are doing a roaring trade in these drugs, they're not conducting full medicals, all the customer has to do is send in a full length photo (which might not even be of them) and it's worrying. There are already reports that the drugs can increase the risk of pancreatic cancer, a disease that is hard to diagnose and impossible to treat. Yet groups of Mumsnetters (not the teeny tinies) are spending huge amounts of money on medication that isn't very effective.
Plus they need a sharps box and needles and all of that is added to the cost of trying to get thin.
It's worrying that so many people have abandoned traditional 'eat less, move more' to inject chemicals into their bodies, with no thought about potential side effects and long term health issues.
