A worrying trend has emerged in recent years: more and more people are turning to weight loss injections to improve their appearance, even though they have no medical need for it. These drugs, originally developed to treat diabetes and obesity, are now used by people like Gabriela and Andrew who no longer feel satisfied with their reflection. Despite their physical activity and healthy lifestyle, they resort to these injections to get rid of stubborn kilos.
The weight loss injections, which mimic hormones that regulate hunger, are only approved in countries like the UK for people with a body mass index (BMI) over 35 or 40. Gabriela and Andrew, whose BMIs are below these thresholds, have still found ways to obtain the medication without medical supervision. This raises significant health concerns as the long-term effects of this practice are not yet well understood.
Another risk is that these injections can reduce not only fat but also muscle mass. This can lead to a deterioration in body composition, especially in slimmer people who rely on restrictive diets. Experts warn that the yo-yo effect caused by stopping and taking the medication again can increase the risk of long-term weight gain.
In addition to the physical risks, there are also psychological risks. Many people who use these injections hope that weight loss will make them happier and more accepting. But when the weight returns after stopping the medication, many feel like a failure. This can lead to a vicious circle in which those affected repeatedly resort to the injections to boost their self-esteem.
Authorities in Britain and Brazil have already responded to the growing concern by tightening regulations on the sale and prescription of these drugs. Still, demand remains high, and people like Gabriela and Andrew have no plans to stop using it. They see the injections as a long-term commitment to their appearance, regardless of the potential risks.
