You don't believe the rigorous testing before any drug goes public works? |  |

It’s worked initially for some of my wife’s colleagues who were clinically obese. The weight loss was astounding. Unfortunately, when they no longer took the jabs, the weight gain became quite a problem again in most cases. It’s basically an appetite suppressant and doesn’t really change the mind set for healthier eating habits in the long run once the individual reaches a more healthier weight. |  |

It's very, very quiet.
I can walk to the pub. |

I don't know anyone who's ever taken it and most of my info on it comes from what I've read on here over last couple of years. But it sounds like it could be a miracle product for some people if used correctly. I guess the thing is if/when you reach yer desired weight your then relying on implementing a fitness and diet regime or the weight just comes back on? |  | |  |

A lot of my wife's social circle are on it and as a teetotal vegetarian who goes to the gym three times a week and runs on two other days, she thinks it's cheating. I can understand people who are clinically obese getting the benefit but these girls go on it for a few months f the have a wedding or some such event coming up. As for side effects, as I understand it some people get mild side effects whereas others can have issues such as Pancreatitis. All medicines will affect people in different ways, but drugs are rigorously tested before being released. My take is, if you cant exercise and have health issues then use it. If you are perfectly healthy the eat less and exercise more. |  |

Cheating is quite loaded language. Think it's not for your wife to judge. |  |

Her view is that they are healthy and not overweight. Certainly not enough to be prescribed Mounjaro. They could quite easily diet and exercise. To get on the treatment they have to take a photograph of themselves in underwear and a picture of their scales displaying the weight and a piece of paper with the date written on it. They ge one of their mates who is obese to submit the photos in their name and upload them to the private clinic, When they meet up they all sit around complimenting each other on how good they look whilst my Mrs does it the hard way. |  |

That's the key piece, it helps people get down to a target weight, but to maintain that weight may mean lifestyle changes once you are off the treatment. The way I see it, if people who struggle with their weight and are considered significantly overweight or obese can afford it and want to use it to reduce their weight from a point where it is causing health issues, then go for it. What I struggle with is people using it who are not overweight but may have body image issues - this to me is not disimilar to having an eating disorder or similar and feeling you have to conform to certain aesthetic standards in life to be considered attractice or similar. |  | |  |

Getting a larger friend to submit photos on their behalf to obtain a drug they would not be prescribed at their current weight is certainly cheating. It's not meant to be a short fix to squeeze into a dress for a wedding or a party. I think her assessment is fair. |  |

Not if they are paying for it. There are numerous private clinics who will prescribe it based on the info and photos you would submit. It would be fraud if you were getting it free on the NHS but I would imagine you would have to be examined by your GP so you wouldn't get it if you weren't clinically obese. |  |

There are other issues as well. There are now a number of ‘specialist dietary supplements’ to replace the nutritional loss from not eating properly while taking the jabs. They don’t come cheap either buh. |  |

That’s right and once you stop if you don’t exercise and watch the food intake you could pile the pounds back on. |  |

Lying about your medical history to obtain prescription drugs online, even if you pay for them, is considered a criminal offence in the UK. |  | |  |
