\u201cAs someone who has lost more than 5st (31.8kg) with Slimming World \u2013 and has helped many others achieve their weight loss goals through running my own group \u2013 I\u2019ve been thinking a lot about weight loss jabs lately. To me, they fall into the same category as diet pills, shakes and meal replacements \u2013 as soon as you stop using them, your results are likely to vanish, leaving you back at square one. <\/p>\n\n\n

For me, it\u2019s not about whether any of these methods work in the short term. What I do worry about is what happens after<\/em> \u2013 the long-term impact and whether they help the person build healthy habits that truly last.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If the approach feels like a real burden, slog or hardship, it moves away from what we\u2019re trying to do at Slimming World, which is to \u2018optimise\u2019 our lives to feel healthier and happier \u2013 for good.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
