Scientists are close to releasing a drug which mimics exercise, induces weight loss and creates lean muscle.

It feels a little like cheating.

I can see this drug having great therapeutic value to folks who have limited mobility and canโ€™t work out, but you know everyone is going to to go wild for it.

@evamarie

Yes, indeed.

Very frustrating that we still don not quite know what causes obesity.

@evamarie @artemis I can see it being useful for this, provided it doesn't do something else horrible.

@StraightOuttaSeratonin

Right? I need the name of the pharmaceutical company developing this drug and buy some stock. ๐Ÿ˜‰

@evamarie

Doesn't sound as though it's going to be "good cardio", "mimics" is the right word.

NOT THE REAL THING, BUT A REMARKABLE FACSIMILE!

@evamarie When everybody has a beach body, nobody will have one.

@evamarie It sounds like a way to throw your endocrine system out of whack.

@evamarie It also kind of sounds like a way to eat more food in a world full of starving people, and have the calories just burn off.
