Former supermodel and entrepreneur Caprice Bourret has issued an urgent health warning after experiencing what she describes as "terrible effects" from using weight loss injections in preparation for her summer holiday.
The 52-year-old businesswoman revealed she turned to the controversial jabs in an attempt to lose 20 pounds quickly, driven by fears of being "fat-shamed" while on vacation. However, the treatment left her suffering from severe side effects that have prompted her to speak out against their use.
The Desperate Bid for Quick Results
"I was going on holiday and I was panicking," Caprice confessed about her decision to try the injections. Like many facing summer pressure to achieve the "perfect beach body," the model-turned-business owner sought a rapid solution to weight concerns.
Her experience serves as a cautionary tale for the growing number of people turning to pharmaceutical solutions for weight management, particularly as these treatments gain popularity through celebrity endorsements and social media exposure.
Severe Consequences Emerge
While Caprice hasn't specified the exact nature of the "terrible effects" she experienced, her warning comes amid increasing medical concerns about the potential side effects of weight loss injections, which can include:
- Nausea and vomiting
- Digestive issues
- Muscle loss
- Fatigue and weakness
- More serious complications in some cases
The glamorous entrepreneur, who has built a successful lingerie business since her modelling heyday, emphasized that the short-term benefits weren't worth the health risks she encountered.
A Message to Others Considering Quick Fixes
Caprice's public statement aims to prevent others from making what she now considers a dangerous mistake. "I want to warn people against using weight loss jabs," she stated emphatically, drawing from her personal experience.
Her warning arrives at a time when the UK is seeing unprecedented demand for weight loss treatments, with many clinics and online services offering quick-fix solutions that may carry significant health risks when not properly supervised by medical professionals.
As the conversation around body image and weight loss continues to evolve, Caprice's experience highlights the importance of approaching weight management through sustainable, health-focused methods rather than potentially dangerous shortcuts.
