[Science!] Newly discovered Hormone Mimics the effects of Exercise

[hsedin33]

That was before the newly discovered hormone that mimics the effects of exercise though. Of course gyms and personal trainers will see less business, just as viagra affected the penis pump industry, lol.

The hormone blocks the negative 'effect' of a 'high fat diet'. Fat isn't bad for you fyi, you need fat to live. The problem comes from overconsumption of calories, fat just gets a bad rep because the calories per gram of fat is much higher then calories per gram of a carbohydrate or protein. All this hormone does is normalize your metabolism by making your muscles more sensitive to insulin (reversing or preventing diabetes due from age or from poor eating habits) it doesn't turn you into a super human like you think. If you don't have diabetes, then this probably won't help you. Also, your metabolism is a compilation of many things, one of the biggest being the size of your muscles and how much they burn throughout the day. So, if you are obese and have diabetes, this may help you normalize your system back to normal, but this means if your system doesn't burn many calories (because you have no muscle), then you will still always be in the process of getting fat, you just won't be getting many of the negative effects of it. At the end of the day, if you eat more calories then you burn, you will gain weight, as you should because that is how a natural, healthy body functions. Stop eating so much garbage and you will never have to worry about taking this hormone. People have stayed fit, lean and healthy long before this hormone was discovered.

Edit. For the record, any doctor who has to prescribe a hormone treatment such as this, would also recommend a personal trainer or at least some real exercise. No drug, pill or hormone treatment will ever replace proper diet an exercise. Even steroids require you work out and eat a tremendous amount.
