    While I think the latest weight loss jabs have been rushed to market and should have been tested for far longer before widespread release I have come around to them offering a useful tool to combat obesity.

    I think anybody suggesting you should just eat less or just eat salad really doesn’t understand why people are fat in the first place, and they certainty do not understand insulin response to highly processed, high percentage of sugar containing foods for a start. “You are fat because you eat too much” is such a trite and unhelpful statement, why has that person eaten too much?

    An insane percentage of people rebound from large weight loss, jab or no jab, we still do not have a proper way to address that. Until we target why people are able to lose large amounts of weight and not keep it off then we are not going to fix the issue long term.
