Elon Musk is said to have lost 13 kilos with a fat-away injection, Charles Barkley, the former NBA star, even more than 25 kilos. Meanwhile, over on Tiktok and Instagram, the number of clicks from stars and wannabe stars is going through the roof when they report on their slimming successes. Especially in the USA, but not only there, there is currently a huge hype regarding a new generation of weight loss products, above all the drug Wegovy.
