Being overweight or obese has become commonplace in this age of sedentary lifestyles and unhealthy eating habits. Forget about the urge to be attractive; carrying additional weight might cause serious health problems.

After reading this post, if you feel comfortable getting the injections, go ahead! You should ask yourself a few things before deciding on a weight loss injection. Are you prepared to go to such extremes? Have you exhausted all other possibilities? Keep reading for greater insight.

Types of Weight Loss Injections:

Before opting for a weight loss injection, it is important to know the kinds of injections available and how they work. You can get the information at any clinic but it is best to do your home work lest you end up taking the wrong kind of injection! Since it is an injection, the wrong one can have harmful effects. You may also be allergic to the ingredients, so you need to be careful when it comes to weight loss shots. Check out these common and the most popular injections for weight loss:

1. B12: 

This injection for weight loss uses the effect of Vitamin B12 on our body. This vitamin can help increase metabolism and force our fat cells to release more energy. This can help reduce adipose tissues as well. A regulated dosage of B12 injection can help burn fat and reduce weight (1). But the effect of this injection is disputed by many doctors..

2. Lipotropic: 

There are many Lipotropic injections, which use Lipotropics as fat burners. The fat-burning property of Lipotropic is harnessed and used by these injections. Methionine, choline and inositol are the main chemicals that make up these injections. In the right dose, liportropic injections can help shed unwanted pounds easily (2), (3).

3. Vitamin B and Lipotropic: 

Here is one of the vitamin injections for weight loss! This injection is a concoction that contains the vitamins – B1, B2, B3, B6, B12 and C as well as 3 Lipotropics and Lidocaine. This injection essentially has all the compounds to aid weight reduction by burning excess fat; at the same time the vitamins ensure that our body is not starved of important nutrients (4). If you are allergic to Lidocaine, it is best to avoid the injection. Other than the Lidocaine, this injection does not have any common allergen in it. The injection uses the positive effects of both the B12 and Lipotropic. This leads to weight reduction as the fat in our body is burnt and energy is released.

If you do opt for such a drastic form of weight reduction, you need to know the dosages. Generally the doctor can tell you the right dose. You may be wondering whether you have to take the injection yourself. You can do it yourself if you are not queasy or better still, seek professional aid to get the shot. You need to take the injections on a regular basis, if you want to see rapid change in your body.

When weight loss diets and working out don’t work as fast as we want them to, some of us seek out drastic weight decreasing options, such as weight loss injections. The only problem is that while these injections do work, their effects are temporary. If you go back to eating too much, not exercising, and living a bad lifestyle with not enough sleep and too much alcohol consumption, you will gain back all that extra weight. Therefore, the key to healthy weight loss is eating right, exercising daily, and leading a healthy lifestyle!
