But i'm not sure
It's having much much effehohowever uh well well
I'm training for a half marathon at the moment
But i'm still ing a lot of running
But i still eat a lot of sugar
A sweet treat diet
Exercise and eating in moderation help some people stay at a healthy weight
But with around sixty five percent of british adults estimated to be overweight
That doesn't help everyone
对
But this is changed with the recent invention of weight loss drugs
Yes
Weight loss drugs like othmpic and monjaro have been a hot topic
This year the drugs are modified versions of natural hormones
Which make us feel full
When released into the body
Weight loss drugs are injected into the tummy and replicate this effects
But last much longer
The idea is that you feel full for longer eatless and lose weight in this episode will be hearing more about these drugs helping people lose weight
And as usual well will be learning some useful new words and phrasplus
There's a voksheet and quiz to practice all the vocabulary will learn on our website
But first i have a question for a uniil
The measurement will by doctors to estimate if someone is that a healthy weight is called bmi
But what does beer my stand for is it a british medical index

Something she discussed with greg ford presenter of bbc radio four program sliced read what's it like to build well i was a hungry so food noise stops
And although script said yyourself that 're a bad person for eating

And when you say food noise what what you meby that and and feels conflict like i got a devil in the angel on my shoulder ers
The angel said don't teach that
Because you shouldn't teat food
The devolinside me said

She says there was an angel on one shoulder and a devil on the other and old idium

What she should do while a devil sat on the other shoulder
Whispering temptations in her ear
Over many years
This inner conflict damaged lyds's self esteam her believe and confidence in her own
Own abilities
Inteintestingly weiight loss drugs weren't invented to lose weight at food
They were originally designed for diabetes

He was only later that doctors notied the drugs effect on weight professor chilles yoe research his obesity
And it's also a consultant for companies developing weight loss drugs
Here he is talking to bbc radio falls sliced bread
We talk about olympic
First because that was the first unthe market market diabetes
And then people begin to notice as a side effect that people will losing weiia lot of people with dibetes tes also have obesites
But part of the effects of actually reversing the diabetes is effect that they lose weight
And so doctors begin to sort of prescribe them off weight
But empc was the first drug on the e when something is unon the market paavailable for sale
Asympc was designed for diabetes
But doctors noticce that patients lost weight as a side effect
Aside effect is an unexpected secondary effect of a drug or medicine
It's usually an undesirable effect

But could weight loss drugs be too good to be true
A public health official in the uk warns that the drugs are alone
Are not the solution
And that people should be encouraged to have a healthier lifestyle right

But what does bem i stand for the iil
You didn't give me an answer earlier
Yes
That's because i was sure
The answer is be body mass index
That's correct well done
Okay
Let's reak up the vocabulary
We've learned starting with food noise insive and unwanted thoughts about food
The idiom
An angel on one shoulder and a devil on the other describes a personal dilemma
Where someone must choose whether to follow their conscience or not self
A steam means a belief in your own absciand value
But if didisappears into the either
It completely goes away
It vanishes into the air
A product which is on the market is available for people to buy
And finally a side effect is an unexpected but usually unwanted secondary effect and a drugs or medicine once again are six minutes to up
