Not a good idea.

Hi de Hi. I was talking to a friend the other day. Nice warm afternoon so we sat in the garden. Her hubby went in to make the coffee. Very nice it was too. His friend turned up. I have met this friend briefly before. The two men talked together for a while, then the conversation got around to the friends dramatic weight loss. He was a big chap as I remember, not so big now. He has lost one and a half stone in a matter of a few weeks. 

He was pleased with that. We wondered how he had done it. What diet has he been on. Only a tweak he said, cutting out the carbs. Then came the truth, he has been giving himself injections of some kind of weight loss drug. Didn't mention the name but I believe there are several available. This is the first time I have come across anyone who has taken these measures to lose weight. Seems a bit drastic to me. 

I thought it was dangerous to lose weight quickly. The photo's of Sharon Osbourne show how different she is now. She doesn't look good. 

Well lo and behold, I think the algorithms were spying on me that day, I had my little Nokia in my pocket. When I put the computer on later this video popped up. Dr Suneel is talking about that very subject. He warns about the effects of losing too much weight too soon, using these drugs. They have lots of side effect apparently. 

The friend mentioned that he is having problems with constipation, can't poo. He now needs to take another drug to help him 'go'. He is going to stay on the injections because he wants to lose more weight before Christmas. I suppose then he will be able to spend the day eating a turkey dinner with all the trimmings.  

Now I am going for a walk.

Thanks for popping in. Toodle pip.   ilona
