Anyone read about this - http://www.nytimes.com/2008/08/01/sc...ce&oref=slogin . Seems pretty crazy, I can see the pros trying to get hold of it asap.

Interesting. I would try it!

Thats pretty interesting if it ends up panning out. Imagine if one day this medicine became as common as multivitamins with the population. It would be a shame though if one day we look back at all the time we spent in the gym and dieting as a waste of time. Like it was prehistoric or something. and all we needed was to eat a pill in the morning.

you still have too go to the gym for the health benefits such as lowering your cholesterol and many more benefits being fit offers

**firmechicano831** · 08-01-2008, 11:28 AM

nice, I'd give it a try.

**TranscriptionFactor** · 08-01-2008, 11:39 AM

yeah, I saw it and salivated.

This is just the tip of the future. All kinds of good stuff gonna be engineered. I will be researching...

**Skully44420** · 08-01-2008, 12:39 PM

this may be a damn good thing...wonder when they are gonna test it on humans?...even if they did come out with it i would probably wait a couple years to see how it affects people after long periods of time

it will never pass the fda. the food companies wont let it.

**GT2** · 08-01-2008, 05:45 PM

I sincerely doubt humans will be able to get the stuff legally, if it all.

I dunno, I would think fast food places would promote it. You could eat shit food and still be in great shape.

And this is what scares me. Now all you gotta do is take a pill to be in shape.

I hope it isn't as good as everyone hopes for. I enjoy all the pain, struggle and sacrifice it takes to be in shape because all that work actually means something when you get there. Not "how did you get like that?" "Oh i just take one pill a day, thats it". Maybe it can be used to help out the people who do have severe weight problems and can't seem to get it together due to genetics, like that world's fattest man.
