injection diets
My neighbour lost 28 kg in 4 months with a high protein injection diet. I understand the risks involved with high protein diets, but I am concerned about the contents of the injections. What does it contain and what are the risks/side effects?

Dear Reader
So am I. Unfortunately the composition of these injections is kept totally secret by the practitioners who use them. They could be totally innocent and only contain B vitamins, or they could be appetite suppressants or hormones - but no one will divulge their contents. The only thing the public can do is to demand an answer from the person dispensing the injections and if no reply is forthcoming, report this to the SA Medical & Dental Council.
Best regards
