GMB doctor explains why you can put on weight if you don't get enough sleep

Dr Amir Khan opened up about the importance of sleep in regards to weight and a new injection that could be offered on the NHS to help stabilise hunger hormones.

Joining hosts Susanna Reid and Richard Madeley, he spoke about an injection called semaglutide, which is administered weekly and mimics a hormone naturally produced in the gut and decreases hunger.

While it is not a new drug, it is being looked at for approval for use in the NHS for weight loss.
