If the slog of January’s relentless weight loss messaging is getting you down, and your attempts in the gym so far haven’t paid off, it can be tempting to think about other routes. With weight loss drugs like Ozempic and Mounjaro becoming widespread, it can be tempting to look for a quick fix.

Official stats on how many Brits are using semaglutides, which mimic the action of the hormone GLP-1, are hard to come by. But a recent YouGov survey found that two in five overweight Britons were interested in taking the drugs for weight loss. The drugs are available on the NHS to treat type 2 diabetes, but not for weight loss, but are available privately, and even illegally online.

Those who go to bed late often end up eating later, too, which can mess with our metabolic health. “Aligning your lifestyle and nutrition habits with your natural body clock can have a profound impact on metabolic health,” Stephenson says. “We know that the timing and composition of meals can significantly impact our metabolic efficiency.” Which in turn affects hunger cravings, how we metabolise food and weight.

A simple trick is simply to up the amount of protein you consume in each meal. “It can be a game-changer,” Sacerdoti says. “Protein is essential for muscle repair and growth and plays a crucial role in supporting weight loss efforts. As well as helping you feel fuller for longer, protein has a higher thermogenic effect than carbohydrates and fats, meaning your body burns more calories during digestion, ultimately supporting fat loss goals.”.
