Specialists recommend contacting a dietitian who controls factors related to the use of injections and directs the patient on how to avoid side effects. Dr. Vafa recommends regular check-ups, such as checking for thyroid function and performing a hereditary analysis of obesity, to ensure the appropriate use of injections in relation to human health. Anyone who resorts to using injections without a prescription or oversight may encounter serious complications due to improper use.
Dr. Amjad Hassan Jarar emphasizes the importance of choosing a whey protein from high-quality food sources for maximum benefit from its use in enhancing muscle and maintaining health. He notes that animal whey is considered the best from a quality standpoint of amino acids and is absorbed more easily than plant-based whey, which may be equivalent in quality through combining grains and legumes. He adds that vegetarians can obtain quality whey by adhering to a carefully planned diet.
Regarding dietary supplements, Dr. Jarar points out that relying on these products requires caution and checking their composition, as studies have shown contaminations with growth hormones in some products marketed in the US, Canada, and the UK at levels up to 25%, indicating their potential risk. He advises considering the certification of product origins and trusting third-party companies that carry out verification and documentation of production.
Experts assert that weight loss through injections is not a magical solution for weight reduction, stressing the necessity of not resorting to certain options without medical supervision and the importance of necessary examinations.
This was stated at the session "Between Strength and Flexibility: Facts About Whey Proteins and Injections for Weight Loss," organized by the "Medical Conference" in its tenth season in Sharjah, where Dr. Amjad Hassan Jarar, a speaker on nutrition and health at the Emirates University, and Dr. Vafa Khalmi Aish, a clinical nutrition specialist and director of the clinical nutrition department at the Tadavih Specialized Hospital, also spoke, as well as Dr. Ahmed Ammar, a public health specialist from Saudi Arabia.
