Slimmers who come off weight-loss injections such as Mounjaro or Wegovy can regain their lost pounds four times faster than those who stop conventional dieting and exercising, new research suggests.
The British Medical Journal has published data which suggests overweight people can shed about a fifth of their body weight when using jabs.
But once they quit they regain 0.8 kg every month, on average, meaning they return to their pre-treatment weight in a year-and-a-half.
Dr Susan Jebb, from Oxford University, who has been investigating weight loss jabs stressed the findings come from medical trials rather than real life.
She says more studies of the longer-term effects of new slimming jabs would be helpful.
