A Conservative former minister said he has lost more than five stone in weight after using weight-loss injections, as he called for the stigma around the medication to be removed.
Sir Alec Shelbrooke described himself as having an âaddictive personalityâ, and said he has struggled with his weight throughout his life.
In the Commons, he suggested that those who use injections to lose weight should be treated similarly to those who use nicotine patches to stop smoking.
I have tried to eat healthy, Iâve tried to do things with my weight and I got to the point where I couldnât

During a debate on obesity, Sir Alec said: âThereâs a lot of new members in the chamber, and they donât know who I am, so they wonât have seen me be enormously fat, and down to the size I am now. And I have struggled with my weight throughout my life and I have controlled my weight for several years.
âItâs been a difficult journey to go through, but I have tried to eat healthy, Iâve tried to do things with my weight and I got to the point where I couldnât. In the middle of September I started taking Wegovy, and in that time I have lost over five stone.â
âI have gone from 42 BMI to 30 BMI and Iâve still got a couple of stone to go. But, this is the big but, youâve got to work with it, these are not miracle drugs,â he added.
Sir Alec said he has an addictive personality, and has previously turned to sugar to get him through a busy day as an MP.
The Wetherby and Easingwold MP continued: âFor me it takes away the cravings and has made me be able to do the intermittent fasting and having a meal at one oâclock which is protein based, a banana at five oâclock and a small meal in the evening with a tiny bit of carbohydrate and donât eat after nine oâclock â that is how I have dropped the weight.â
Sir Alec said around 500,000 people are using weight-loss injections and acknowledged some have experienced negative side effects, but added âdrugs do have side effects, thatâs not a reason to rule them outâ.
He told MPs: âWe need to remove the stigma of talking about whether we are on these jabs â Ozempic, Wegovy, Mounjaro â which are certainly helping me, and I know of many, many friends who are using them and I know of many colleagues in the House which are using them.â

âWe donât make comment about people using nicotine patches or nicotine gum, and yet we do about people trying to do things to aide them to lose weight,â he added.
Sir Alec said he is currently going through a âprocess where Iâm trying to lose the weight in the first six months, and then the next six months go back to a normal amount of calories and do the exercise and build up my fitnessâ.
He added: âIâm stood in front of you today, I feel horrific, Iâve had less than about 600 calories so far today, and weâre into 7.10pm, and I donât feel great but it is working.â
Sir Alec also drew a link between the reduction in smoking and the rise in obesity, adding that he has previously used cigarettes to help keep his weight down.
