Some people say it's cheating, that it will just lead to more problems than it will solve, but I'm more optimistic. If science wants to give us a pill that means we don't have to do exercise or watch what we eat anymore, then who am I to question science!
You can read about it here in my latest Sprocketink.com article [

Followed your link Kellie, and bring.it.on. I say!
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely! Diet and exercise, bah!
DeleteGreat article and I'm in! Where do we sign up??
ReplyDeleteThe line starts behind me ;D
DeleteThat's how I want knowledge, too. Like, I want to learn new languages, but I don't want to put the effort in, I just want to have the information and know-how immediately downloaded into my brain like "The Matrix." So yeah. I'm on board. Besides, hair dye and make up are technically cheating too, but no one really complains about that (much).
ReplyDeleteGood point! I'm going to use the hair dye arguement if anyone questions my motives.
DeleteIf this pill will take away my jelly belly, I'm all for it. It's not cheating because it's not a competition or a game. There are no rules to begin with.
ReplyDeleteThat's the spirit!
DeleteIf it reduces the chances of getting all of the fat related diseases then surely it is a good thing. Think of all the money that would be saved by not treating these.
ReplyDeleteI'm sure it comes with a boatload of side effects, but for now it's nice to dream :)
DeleteI could just kiss those nerdy little scientists!
ReplyDeleteMe too, full on the lips!
DeleteSome of my family members have benefited from weight watchers and exercise combined. I'd say why put chemicals in your body if not needed. I guess though some of us do need them for fast results but in the long run, a healthy life style should help:0
ReplyDeleteI'm sure a healthy lifestyle would be better ... but nowhere near as much fun ;D
DeleteI say bring it on, as well....if they can work out the negative side effects. The idea of a "fat burner" without risk appeals to me BUT... Remember Phen fen.
ReplyDeleteI was reading an article about the two latest drugs Belviq and Qsymia and both have some serious possible side effects. I guess death (due to heart attacks) is one way not to gain weight.
It's effective, but rather permanent.
DeleteSure, why not. What harm can it do? As I always say, "Exercise, eat right, don't smoke, don't drink, don't run with scissors, mind your mama....die anyway."
ReplyDeleteS
Yep, that's true. As they say, being healthy won't make you live longer, it'll just feel that way.
DeleteAwesome article! I think when it comes down to it, the right answer is whatever is right for each individual.
ReplyDeleteTrue. Personally I'd be all over it if it was offered, but then I'm pretty much a lazy person who likes chocolate ;D
DeleteYES!!
ReplyDelete:D
DeleteI've been waiting for a "Thin" pill my entire life. And where is the flying car they promised us?
ReplyDeleteOr the jet packs!
Deleteyes please, that means i can eat all the cake i want and still be healthy...sort of
ReplyDeleteMmmm, cake...
