I’ve lost over six stone but now my weight loss has stopped – could it be down to my tablets?
OUR resident specialist and NHS GP, Dr Zoe Williams, shares her expert advice.
Today, Dr Zoe helps a reader whose weight loss has stalled.
Q: I’VE lost more than 6st in the past four years by not drinking alcohol and eating sensibly.
I had got down to 18st when I had a heart attack four months ago.
I am feeling a lot better but since going back to my diet, I am finding it difficult to lose weight.
I am walking a lot but can’t seem to shift it.
Could the tablets I take be affecting my weight loss efforts?
A: Well done on losing so much weight so far, it’s not easy to do!
As weight reduces, using the same weight-loss methods can be more challenging as your body gets smaller and you burn fewer calories.
One way to combat this is to get stronger and build muscle, which burns a lot of energy, so can help to readdress that declining metabolic rate.
If you feel you would struggle with that, your GP may be able to refer you for some extra support, such as a tier-three weight-management programme.
Injectable weight loss medications, such as Wegovy and Mounjaro are offered by many of these services too, if that is a route you would consider.
Some medications are known to have weight gain side effects, including some diabetes and migraine medications, and antidepressants.
These tend to have an indirect effect, in that they may cause you to have more of an appetite or feel fatigued, so you’re less likely to want to exercise.
But the only medication prescribed for somebody following a heart attack, that stands out is a beta blocker, particularly the old-fashioned ones.
In your case, I think it’s more likely your weight loss has just plateaued.

Hospitals set to be ranked in national league table with failing managers facing sack in football-style NHS reforms
HOSPITALS will be ranked in a national league table — with failing managers facing the sack in football-style NHS reforms.
Health Secretary Wes Streeting will today vow to tighten the screw on badly performing bosses.
The NHS will be more like the cut-throat Premier League with losing managers facing the chop.
More than 120 NHS trusts in England will be scored on their waiting times, patient care and spending.
Mr Streeting said there will be “zero tolerance for failure” and crisis teams will be sent to turn around low-ranking hospitals.
Research shows health service productivity is down and senior staff are rarely dismissed.
Addressing hospital chief executives at the NHS Providers Conference, Mr Streeting will say: “With the combination of investment and reform, we will turn the NHS around and cut waiting times from 18 months to 18 weeks.”
Reforms will also block pay rises for chief executives failing to improve services.
They will cut off financial freedom while giving those at the top more power to spend cash on equipment and tech.
Top managers will be paid extra to work in struggling areas.
Amanda Pritchard, NHS England chief executive, said: “NHS leaders welcome accountability — but it is critical that responsibility comes with the support and development.”
But Patricia Marquis, of the Royal College of Nursing, said: “We should not be tolerating poor management but scapegoating trust leaders is not the solution.
“NHS staff must not be pitted against one another.”

I have missed these workouts and I remembered why I love them so much! The carry over to other forms of training is huge! Not only helping increase your strength and build that muscle but also core strength and body awareness! During bodyweight only exercises, I am focused on actually making it as challenging as possible!
During planks, whether moving or trying not to move whilst arms or legs are moving, try to keep hips down! Sometimes we can forget to think about this, particularly during dynamic planks such as plank rolls! I do too! Think about gaze straight down to mat, shoulders relaxed, quads tight!
During elevated curtesy lunges, aim to use that extra depth available by lowering knee to where possible yet still comfortable!
You can always make each exercise more challenging so make this your focus!!
Have fun and really enjoy the free feeling of body only!
