Do diet pills really work?

Well apparently they do on mice! Inactive mice given this diet pill called AICAR lost more fat vs. those not given the pill, and could run 23% faster and 44% further than mice not treated with the pill!

Sounds like a miracle pill, no working out, no eating changes, and boom! This is in human testing.

The Salk Institute for Biological Studies in California reports these findings.

When a second drug Resveratrol (meant for anti-aging) was added to the first drug for a month, the mice ran 70% father and 68% longer than mice who exercised but didn't get the drug.

So do diet pills really work? Maybe soon?

Avoid diet pills. The only ones that "work" are...Speed, uppers, which cause intense jitteriness, loss of sleep, too-rapid heart rate, other potential medical problems. They may cause temporary weight loss, but it comes right back because they were only a crutch.

Beware any quick fix. It's hard, but really really try to develop a new mindset; discipline. Junk food is everywhere, swamping our whole culture -- that's only been since the 70s, but it's what makes it harder for us than for any previous generation.

Discipline. What an old-fashioned word! Poo. But...keep trying & you'll feel stronger inside. Dependent on nothing. Proud of yourself.

Yea, and they fattened the mice up with MSG first.
