Weight loss injections have taken the world by storm. From podcasts to health publications, everyone’s talking about them and the role they play in weight management.
While these treatments may work when it comes to losing weight, relying on them solely without considering balanced nutrition and positive habit changes can leave your body undernourished. True health transformation isn’t just about losing weight. It’s about giving your body and mind what they truly need to flourish.
At The 1:1 Diet, we’ve spent over 40 years focusing on a complete approach to weight loss, balancing sustainable results with long-term health and, of course, one-to-one support. In this article, we’ll explore the crucial role of valuable nutrition for sustainable long-term results.
Firstly, what are weight loss injections, and how do they work?
In the UK, there are currently 2 main types of weight loss injections available on prescription: Wegovy® (semaglutide) and Zepbound® (Tirzepatide). These drugs are taken once a week, usually by injection, and they both work primarily by making you feel fuller and less hungry.
Am I eligible for weight loss injections?
To access these injections, generally, you must have a BMI of 35 or over, agree to have regular reviews (every 3 months) and should only take the injections for a maximum of 2 years.
Risks of weight loss injections and poor nutrition
So, what are the risks of weight loss injections, and are weight loss injections safe? There is evidence that they support weight loss, however, they are not a quick fix, and sustained weight loss still depends on long-term lifestyle changes, including balanced nutrition.
Without this, the body may be at risk of several health issues:
-
Nutrient deficiencies. Appetite suppression often results in lower food intake, making it difficult to get the essential vitamins and minerals your body needs to thrive..
-
Muscle loss. Rapid weight loss without enough protein and quality nutrition might result in muscle depletion, slowing your metabolism and making long-term weight management harder. You are also quite likely to lose more bone mass and strength, increasing the risk of long-term bone health issues.
Fatigue and weakness. Poor nutrition often results in low energy levels, leaving you feeling exhausted instead of empowered.

Why nutrition matters for lasting weight loss
Sustainable weight loss is all about supporting your body with the right balance of nutrients so you stay strong and energised while losing weight. That’s why we suggest weight loss injections should be supported with a nutrient-rich plan, like The 1:1 Diet.
Each of our meal replacements is around 200 calories, and is packed with protein, and 25 vitamins and minerals. Plus, with The 1:1 Diet, you get to choose your Consultant who will work with you through any challenges and guide you towards a new world of healthy habits.
A nutritionally complete approach provides:
-
Muscle protection. Plenty of protein helps protect your muscles, making sure you lose more fat and less muscle.
-
Balanced energy. A well-rounded diet provides steady energy, preventing crashes and mood swings.
Vital micronutrients. Iron, calcium, D and B vitamins are essential for metabolic health, stronger bones, and the maintenance of your energy levels.
