How Not To Lose Weight. Another Way to Transform Yourself. Dear Friend,
If you were thinking of dropping a few pounds and were considering using Ozempic or Wegovy - 2 weight-loss drugs that are very popular at the moment - read the recent FT article below first.
Regeneron head says weight-loss drugs could 'cause more harm than good'
Regeneron is a Biotech company who themselves are developing drugs for the 'potentially $130bn-a-year' weight-loss market.
However, what they have discovered is that the 'success' of drugs like Ozempic and Wegovy is down to the weight reducing effect of the muscle wastage that accompanies it.
As the Regeneron head goes on to say, when people come off the drug, usually due to side-effects like nausea, then 'insult is added to injury' because extra fat replaces the muscle that was lost.
This might sound like the marketing-speak of a jealous competitor, but reference is made in the article to a JAMA (Journal of the American Medical Association) 2024 study as evidence.
It seems then that the best way to shed some pounds may be by just sticking to exercise and diet.
In any case, we're more than our body. There's another way to transform yourself to make you feel good about yourself. More below.
