Do b12 shots help with weight loss?

I've been seeing a lot of buzz online about B12 shots helping with weight loss. I'm trying to get in shape, so I'm curious. Do these B12 shots really help people lose weight, or is it more of a myth?

Don't fall for these quick-fix trends, okay? B12 shots are meant to treat actual deficiency, not to burn body fat. Take care of your eating habits and get some good rest, your body will balance out naturally without unnecessary injections.

As someone who sees patients getting these daily, I can tell you B12 only boosts metabolism if you were deficient to begin with. It is not a weight loss drug. If your levels are already normal, extra shots won't help you lose even half a kilo.

When I consulted my doctor at Max Hospital, she clearly said B12 is not indicated for weight management. She advised me to get a proper diet chart instead. Please consult your physician rather than taking shots on your own.

I went through this entire B12 course last year. The realistic truth is that it cured my leg pain and lethargy, which allowed me to start walking 5 km a day. That walk is what helped me lose 4 kgs, not the shots directly. Focus on activity.

Weight loss ke liye shots lena is a bit too much, yaar. Actually, B12 is just for energy and nerve health. Better to track your food and do some normal gymming instead of worrying about injections.
