While there's no denying that weight loss injections are growing in popularity in the UK and beyond, many people, whether they are famous or not, are not open about taking them. The jab started as a diabetes drug, and it was later found that when the dosage was upped, it reduced users' appetite and helped them lose weight.
Celebrities who have spoken publically about taking jabs include Oprah Winfrey, Sharon Osbourne, Elon Musk and James Corden. Some have praised the injections in interviews, whereas others, like Sharon, 72, have blasted them. She previously told The Daily Mail: "You can lose so much weight, and it’s easy to become addicted to that, which is very dangerous.".
With no sign of skinny jab usage slowing down anytime soon, here are six tell-tale signs your friend is secretly using them to shed the pounds. Your pal looks noticeably thinner. If your friend, who is looking different, hasn't come forward to tell you they are injecting themselves directly, don't ask them outright, as it might offend them. Weight is a sensitive subject, and some women fear they are being judged for 'cheating' if they have not lost weight through diet and exercise.
Loss of muscle. According to Professor Alex Mira, a consultant endocrinologist at Ulster University, muscle loss is often regarded as an unwanted side effect of weight loss injections. He told The Daily Mail: "One school of thought is that any form of muscle loss is bad. That's because muscle is a metabolically active organ that burns energy. So, the less muscle you have, the less your energy expenditure, and that's not good for weight loss or for the absorption of sugar from the blood.".
