If you are on or have been on injections for weight loss, you have no doubt made a positive decision to take control of your weight and your health. Research shows that people using weight loss injections lose at least 15% of their body weight. However once they stop the injections, most people regain two thirds of this weight loss within a year.

This is thought to be because the regions of the brain relating to food thoughts and appetite are still chaotic, and so although weight loss injections mask this dysregulation, as soon as they are stopped, food cravings and overeating return. 

Findings confirm that ongoing treatment is required to maintain improvements in weight and health. NICE, the National Institute for Health and Care Excellence, suggests that people build long-term positive behavioural habits around food by seeking support to embed the changes in how the brain thinks, feels and behaves around food and appetite.
