Last night (November 14, 2022), the EenVandaag broadcast revealed that internists consider weight loss with injections a great success for people with overweight. Watch the broadcast below.
Sustainable weight loss is finally possible
The medicine ensures sustainable weight loss, preventing the constant yo-yo effect. Internist Van Bon expressed her regret that this successful medication for overweight is only reimbursed for individuals with a BMI of 35 or higher who have additional physical problems AND are already participating in a combined lifestyle intervention. Van Bon now also sees a group of patients who choose to pay for the medicine themselves. According to Van Bon, this weight loss medication is a huge kickstart for a different life and better health.
No longer constantly thinking about food
In the broadcast, 49-year-old Fleur van der Klei shared that the weight loss medication Saxenda has opened up a new world for her. Due to her overweight, she developed cardiovascular issues and felt deeply unhappy. Thanks to the medication, she no longer thinks about food all day, and her quality of life has significantly improved. Both physically and psychologically, Fleur has been greatly helped by this weight loss medication. "I know the medicine is not a miracle cure," says Fleur. "I also exercise weekly and walk a lot. You should use this medicine in combination with a healthy lifestyle and see it more as a support for sustainable weight loss."
The medicine gives you a feeling of fullness
The medicines work as an appetite suppressant, Van Bon explains. "In the hunger center, the medicine creates a feeling of satiety that these people often no longer have. They can therefore experience peace and are no longer constantly occupied with food." According to Van Bon, many people develop severe overweight not only due to lifestyle but also due to hormonal influences, medication, or stress.
