SO YOU WANNA LOSE WEIGHT?
When people think about losing weight the first thing that comes to mind is eat less. Scientist has created a strategy that tricks the body into being full. Peter Wilde who is associated with the Institute of Food Research in Norwich, England has created food that will decrease the flow to the digestive system. Afterwards a signal will be sent to the brain that "suppresses appetite." "That fools you into thinking you've eaten far too much when you really haven't," Wilde says. Doctors believe that this will be a way to cut down obsesity in the US. Others argue that controlling the appetite will be a high challenge. Wilde's plan is to "coat fat droplets in foods with modified proteins from plants, so it takes longer for the enzymes that break down fat to reach it." The fat will not be digested until it reaches the intestines when usually food is beginning to break down in the stomach. Wilde's plan is to have his product featured in stores in the near future.

  1. In America, people have become more and more over-weight to a point where it is a health problem. Although many would think that by not-eating is the way to a successful weight-loss, it is a much healthier approach to eating small portions and tricking the body with less of an intake of food. This is a successful way to a more healthy body weight.

  2. I feel that if this pill becomes public then people will either think of it as just another weight loss pill or it could be a huge success if it yields results. It'll be interesting to see what happens when this becomes available in stores.

  3. I think that the pill is a great idea, although, it will be interesting to see how well it really does work. The idea of reducing obesity in the U.S. would be amazing and would make some people healthier as well. This pill would not only work on controlling obesity it is also a healthier way in controlling one's diet apposed to just starving oneself.

  4. There are so many new dieting methods now, but this one sounds like it would actually work. Although not really threatening the health of the body, the method is an easy alternative to other unhealthy methods. There are so many fat people in america now that scientists continue to try and come up with solutions.

  5. There is a miracle diet out there that can help you lose weight naturally, it's called eat less than you burn. Stuff like this is great but we don't know the effects of altering food in such a way. It may be like splenda, tricking the body into releasing insulin and thus creating all sorts of heath issues.
