A decision for a project
TV presenter Ekaterina Strizhenova told her followers on Instagram (the owner company Meta has been recognized as extremist and banned in Russia) that she will be losing weight with the help of injections. According to her, she urgently needs to lose weight for a project, and she will not be able to shed 15 kg any other way. The TV personality stressed that this is entirely her own decision and her responsibility, and that she will talk about her experience later.
Medical examination and doctor's supervision
Before starting, Strizhenova underwent a full examination at a clinic and received a doctor's approval. She admitted that she has concerns, but she will be losing weight under a specialist's supervision. 'Over three years I have gained two sizes, and it drives me crazy. I have tried a lot, but I failed to lose weight. I do not have obesity. But when everyone around you loses weight quickly while you struggle like a fool, it is hard not to be tempted,' the TV presenter said.
Followers' reaction
Many followers in the comments to the post are trying to talk Strizhenova out of it, citing the drugs' side effects and consequences for the body that have not been fully studied.
Past weight loss experience
According to the star, in 2019 she followed the keto diet and got rid of 12 extra kilograms, but the result did not last long. In 2024, the TV personality turned to an endocrinologist and a specialist in hormonal medicine, replenished her deficiencies and started working with a nutritionist: she had to give up pasta, sugar and sweet fruits, as well as work out in the gym and swim in the pool. Strizhenova admitted that it is already hard for her to keep up such a lifestyle and constantly stay in shape.
