Last night Channel 4 aired a programme presented by Anna Richardson about the new weight loss drugs Semaglutide (also known as Wegovy/Ozempic) and Liraglutide: ‘The Truth about the Skinny Jab.’
The programme was not particularly complimentary about their use for weightloss - after all they were developed to help with Type 2 diabetes.
Our own expert based at Head Office, Commercial Nutritionist, Mark Gilbert makes these observations which I'd like to share with you -
Four important reasons why The 1:1 Diet is superior to these new weight-loss drugs.
1. “Weight loss is over twice as fast with The 1:1 Diet – eight weeks to lose an average of 1.5 stone versus 20 weeks for Wegovy.
2. “The 1:1 Diet is specifically formulated to provide all the nutrients you need, despite low calorie intake. These drugs, usually used by people who are already deficient in one or more nutrients, cause you to eat very few calories, making it difficult to get adequate nutrition.
3. ”Almost 40% of weight loss on Wegovy is lean tissue (not fat loss), so they cause a substantially lower percent fat loss than our diet.
4. “Two thirds of weight loss is regained within a year of stopping these drugs, whereas a four-year study of The 1:1 Diet showed 100% of weight loss can be maintained.”
Final note -
We have a weight loss solution that works and what makes us special is the unique one to one support that we provide to help dieters change their lives. Based on over 35 years' worth of research our diet has been scientifically proven to work.
Makes me super proud to work with the 1:1 Diet.
