Weight-loss injections not enough for healthy weight loss: Expert
Medical experts warn that weight-loss injections are not a standalone solution for obesity and must be paired with long-term lifestyle changes. Dr. Abdullah Kaan Kurt emphasizes that these treatments are intended for patients with specific medical criteria and should not be viewed as a cosmetic fix.
Why it matters
As the popularity of weight-loss drugs grows, public health experts are concerned about the potential for misuse and the neglect of sustainable health habits.
Dr. Abdullah Kaan Kurt, a general practitioner at Karadeniz Technical University’s Farabi Hospital, said obesity is a chronic disease that goes beyond physical appearance and should not be reduced to a cosmetic issue. He added that so-called “weight-loss injections” are only effective when combined with long-term lifestyle changes.
