America: Land of Prevention Last-Minute Panicked Reaction

Just ask Alice....

Nice. Becasuse atrophied muscles with fat is just gross. Much better to both skinny AND lazy.

You mean Fen-Phe-aaarrrggghhh...my chest...[clunk]

I prefer Slimby.

/in before the "laws of physics don't apply to my body, also my thyroid"

I understand that is part of the "miracle". They just combined an appetite suppressant with a drug that makes you feel full faster. Physicians are still gonna harp on that "get off your ass and move around a little" advice.

All you really need to do is RIDE THE SNAKE!

I don't understand why this is still such a difficult concept concept to comprehend.

impaler: Or you could just eat less and exercise more.

/in before the "laws of physics don't apply to my body, also my thyroid"

I eat less, exercise more and I still cant drop these 15 lbs. Also, I am on Synthroid and they keep messing with my dosage so yeah an actual Thyroid problem.

I take in 2,000 calories a day aerobic excessive and or running/walking for 30-45 a minutes a day. 6'0" and 198lbs want to be south of 185.

Why does this need FDA approval and supplements still do not?

While hardening of the arteries is a big concern, overweight is a much bigger concern. The risks associated with being obese are far more immediate than possible heart disease later on that it makes sense to use medical measures to alleviate the overweight problem first and foremost.

The damage has already been done. The question is whether we allow these people to lose weight and return to a normal lifestyle or force them to suffer for their poor decisions. If there's a medicine that can help them, I'm going to vote for putting them back into a normal life.

I have a celestial body that is governed only by the laws of astrophysics. My weight loss program involves staying in a 0G environment.

/Mass loss is trickier. But its all relative.

Treygreen13: We call placebos "dummy pills" now?

I think they are just referring to diet pills in general.

It's Phen-Fen all over again-gain...

/poet and don't know it
//even though it was weak and obvious...

probesport: I take in 2,000 calories a day aerobic excessive and or running/walking for 30-45 a minutes a day. 6'0" and 198lbs want to be south of 185.

Eat less than 2,000 calories a day. That will be the fastest route to your goal.

Not quite as fast as amputating a limb, I suppose, but a lot less debilitating.

So it changes my RNA without harming my DNA?

No side effects, no one harmed...that they know of, or will admit to, until it's too late.

Jacobin: Just ask Alice....

who the fark is Alice?

but I thought fatties were now proud of who they are and prefer to flaunt their gluttony rather than blame it on a thyroid problem or some shiat. I am confuse.

One day one of these will work without killing you, and it will be awesome.

I'm just gonna give it 10-20 years with the early adopters before I take my chances.

Note that FDA is not making the statement that it's likely to receive market approval. It's unnamed "experts". This reads like the author lifted content from the company's press release. Statements like "fewer side effects" aren't really sufficient, FDA is going to want to look at a ton of more complex data (Pk, PD, QT interval, tox, etc.). Although you can't tell from the release, it looks like a Phase III trial, so (all things being equal and without knowing more) I'd give it a 70% chance of approval.

I'm lazy as trash, little to no excercise, desk job and eat terribly. 150 lbs. got to love that high metabolism!

You want to pay $35 for some vitamin C tablets?

The correct term is homeopathic medicine.

You sound fat

..... it looks like English yet reads like Swahili

So I can just sprinkle some of those on my deepfried chocolate donuts and I'll be good to go, right?

Ha! Suckers! I'm just going to use this plastic thingamajing 3 times a week for 20 minutes and lose 40 pounds in two weeks.

/Ride the snake

stewmadness: Why does this need FDA approval and supplements still do not?

Because the supplement and natural remedy lobby lobbied hard to have that be the law. FDA does regulate them in part, see here . They just don't require clinical trials and they don't permit statements about efficacy.

They're called vegetables.

And not the Stephen Hawking kind.

More like ORCAserin, amirite? You big fat whales, you.


/can't talk now, I have to take my dummy pills in 26 minutes.

/in before the "laws of physics don't apply to my body, also my thyroid"

Speaking as someone with moderate hypothyroidism (I'm at 125 mcg of Synthroid a day), I have put on 20 pounds over the past 4 years since I've been diagnosed.

But most of that is due to stress eating, winter depression and the fact that I've almost completely stopped weight training in favor of just running once or twice a week.

Oh, and an age related metabolism drop. Hitting 30 is a biatch.

stewmadness: Why does this need FDA approval and supplements still do not?

Probably because this will require your doctor to check for pre-existing conditions which may increase the likelyhood of side-effects.

(i.e. you'll need a prescription for it.)

Enough with these diet pills people, i was a fat asshole then got off my ass, ate less and exercised more and lost 160lbs. STOP BEING LAZY!

vernonFL: Just take speed.

One viewing of 'Requiem for a Dream' will cure you of that idea real quick.

Hardly. On the weekends I have a side job working as a personal trainer and have received an 8.9 on Hot or Not. Definitely not fat.

ultraholland: but I thought fatties were now proud of who they are and prefer to flaunt their gluttony rather than blame it on a thyroid problem or some shiat. I am confuse.

Yea, I get tired of arguments like this from my wife who is 150 pounds over weight, "If you love me, my looks should not matter." Then she goes out and spends 50 bucks to have her hair died because she saw 1 grey hair and says she does not want to look old.

That's what I need to do. Create some stupid sugar pill with a fancy name and market the shiat out of it for weight-loss, using vague, non-specific language to avoid being sued. That's the easiest way I can think of to become a millionaire.
