Ridiculously, the WHO says that increased weight and obesity is a chronic DISEASE, and not the result of lifestyle choices! They clearly don’t have a clue about health, weight gain or nutrition!
We’ve had nearly 50 years of a weight gain and obesity epidemic, despite the alleged “health” advice over that time from the WHO, government food guidelines, doctors, and dietitians, and we are actually having even higher levels of obesity and chronic health issues related to increased weight than ever before, such as heart disease, diabetes, arthritis, and cancers. Probably because the diet advice was all wrong.
There are an incredible number of dangerous side effects for these medications, which I will expand on in another article soon. But in short, the side effects include digestive symptoms, muscle wasting (muscle loss), lower bone density, arthritis, suicidal ideation, and more (RACGP, 2025).
Unless the root causes of YOUR weight issues are found and fixed, treated or removed, no amount of dieting or exercise will help you to lose weight. Weight loss is actually very easy, with a personalised treatment plan. Standard weight loss plans, being the same for everyone, simply do not work!
Taking a medication for weight loss doesn’t work either! Medications don’t ever fix the root causes of your weight gain, and they always introduce new symptoms as side effects. And as soon as you stop taking the medication, all the weight will come back again, and you end up worse than before due to the side effects too.
Weight gain absolutely is the result of your choices of foods and lifestyle. Hence improving your diet and lifestyle can reverse the weight gain! This can be a much safer, and more sustainable way to achieve your healthy goal weight.
Stay healthy!
