00:00Now a Zempik may be a drug that you've heard of and since it entered the public consciousness
00:03it's been at the centre of a lot of conversations about weight and now there are talks that
00:08it may be used on obese or clinically overweight people to help them return to the workforce,
00:12both giving the workforce a boost and saving the NHS precious resources. So we're going
00:16to ask people what they think of the drug, whether they'd be willing to use it and if
00:20they think it's a good idea.
00:22I think for what it is, I think it's fine to be fair. I think the research shows that
00:26it doesn't have a long-term impact, so as long as people are happy taking it and then
00:31do the exercise afterwards, if it makes them feel good, then why not?
00:34I took some weight loss drugs a long time ago that were from a different country and
00:37they were pretty questionable.
00:40It's not like a silver bullet would be my worry, that's when people see it as getting
00:43on employment to help people out of unemployment dead quickly, but then we'll see employment
00:48rise but then maybe six months, a year later it goes back.
00:52I'm not a fan of weight loss drugs. I think the bottom line is more calories need to go
00:59out than go in.
