Dubai has devised a rather unorthodox plan to incentivize its citizens to lose weight: Shed pounds, and we'll give you some gold. In both the US and in Europe another option is Victoza, which is the exact same drug at half the dose and half the price. At this lower dose the resulting weight loss is about 75% of the weight loss when one is on Saxenda. Victoza is approved only for treating type 2 diabetes.
The problem is that so far there are very few such men-only diet clubs in the UK Of the 152 local authorities that responded to a Freedom of Information request from the Men's Health Forum charity in November 2014, only 47 offered the option of men-only weight loss services, although the Man V Fat clubs have been funded by a few enlightened local authorities.
