Fat jabs, also known as weight loss injections, are medications designed to help control appetite and support weight management. In the UK, these treatments are commonly discussed in relation to medications like Wegovy and Ozempic.
What Happens in the Body?
Most fat jabs work by mimicking natural hormones that regulate hunger. These hormones send signals to the brain that reduce appetite and slow digestion, helping people feel fuller for longer.
- Reduced hunger signals
- Slower digestion
- Lower calorie intake
Are Fat Jabs a Quick Fix?
While weight loss injections may support fat loss, they are not a replacement for healthy habits. Long-term success typically depends on combining injections with diet and physical activity.
