Exercise in a Pill

November 20, 2009 Diets

Couch potatoes will really rejoice if they knew that there is a pill that can help them lose weight fast generally by giving the same effect as exercising to the body.

This is rather good news for people who want to take the easy way out. If you can tone the muscle, synthesize fat and improve the metabolism to burn fat all in one pill, then that pill will be considered as manna from heaven.

The drug called GW1516 with a compound called AICAR can mimic the energy metabolism as that of an individual doing exercise. While some weight loss pills suppress the appetite of a person, this particular pill tricks the muscle into thinking that it has burned its fuel sources and must burn fat more. There is no magic to this weight loss pill. Basically, this pill addresses just that.

This pill can be a great treatment for obese people. Since obese people have higher propensity to lose weight fast by following any crash diet thereby depriving themselves with the much nutrition needed by the body, this pill prevents them from  going to the extremes just for the sake of weight loss. This means that they can still eat as much as they want since the pill can convert the fat into energy.

However, it has been noted by the proponents that this particular drug is prone to abuse by athletes who might want to boost their muscles and performance. On the other hand, although these drugs have stirred the world of dieting, the drug is still under the first phase of its development. In fact, there have been no clinical trials that were done to test the efficacy of this drug yet as most subjects used are just rodents.

However, until the research is complete, people are still better off doing exercises than to reduce their weight.
