About the Article by Dr Helen Salisbury (As an NHS GP, I can now prescribe the Weast-Loss Jabs – but a quick fix for obesity is not what we need, 26 June), I have an index of body mass at about 50 before starting mounjaro private, even if I eat well and used to my peers. I can also write many books about nutrition. I can’t get the size like some bimbling idiot eating always, but there is a disease food involved in bad mental health with no medical weight.
Healthcare for people sufferingly obesity in UK abysmal. You can’t approach a GP about whatever it doesn’t involve your weight and tells you just need to eat little, no matter why a significant number of people with malnutrition.
At one point, my GP advised me to cut my daily calorie drinking, 1,500, in the middle, left me trying to handle 750 a day. The weight of the weighted weight has changed my life as I feel controlled for the first time, and I slowly and apt to lose three stones using it.

I have had a private prescription for mounjaro since March 2023 and have lost 43kg, 30% of my original weight, with my body mass index dropping from 42 to 29. I appreciate that, and a society of the food, but at a personal level This has been revolutionary for me. I followed nutrition and exercise advice, and is very lucky to experience effects.
I appreciate Dr Helen Salisbury’s Point: It does not change my agreed food method, and to avoid repeating all weights of my target weight. However, I don’t think anyone can have a way to achieve weight loss. Instead of avoiding medicine, as the article suggested, definitely the priority should change and support the next stage?

Far from troubleshooting the problem of obesity, drugs worse, because those who receive it can pay attention to this alternative to healthy meals mixed with exercise. The sugar was very severely tied together during the Second World War and after this, and “fast food” was not invented. My village state school has two paved places to play, as well as a large field. My secondary school is better equipped, and brought us to the local bathroom swimming (now closed) twice a week. These are the benefits for life: I celebrate my 80th birthday by swimming in 1,000 meters.
What is needed is a campaign similar to the campaign against smoking coupled with restoring games and swimming games. It will take time and money, but more than self funds, because health benefits will be removed immediately and storing for NHS grow exponentially. Type 2 diabetes is a preventable disease, but has reached the proportions of the epidemic, with heart problems and poor circulation that carries infections and frequent amputations. Undoubtedly have the usual cry from own “freedom” lobby-funded organizations. This, like the pro-smoking lobby, should be ignored.
