Yaakov Bardugo, a candidate on the Likud party's Knesset list, revealed on Tuesday that he attempted to use weight loss injections but found them ineffective for him. Speaking on the "Sari and Schlesinger" program on Walla, Bardugo shared that his doctor indicated he falls into the percentage of individuals for whom the treatment does not work. Despite his disappointment, Bardugo expressed a desire for an effective solution, emphasizing that his motivation is health-related rather than aesthetic. He stated, "I am very happy with my appearance, I just want the health."
Bardugo's disclosure comes amid a trend of Israeli politicians openly discussing their use of weight loss injections. Just last week, Minister of National Security Itamar Ben-Gvir shared that he began using the injections several weeks prior, noting a slight weight loss and suppressed appetite. Ben-Gvir attributed his decision to his doctor's recommendation and described his previous unhealthy eating habits, including late-night shawarma consumption.
Previously, former Prime Minister Naftali Bennett admitted to losing approximately 17 kilograms since leaving office, attributing his success to a regimen of heavy strength training, dietary changes, and weight loss injections. Bennett detailed his workout routine and healthier eating habits, which include more fruits and vegetables. Months earlier, Gadi Eisenkot also mentioned undergoing a similar process, combining it with a healthy diet to achieve positive results.
