I wonder if it widens Uranus on the way out. Maybe it just adds a ring.

Funny:

1 day of fasting accomplishes the same thing without having to purchase that which they are instructing.

But hey: Pensions need more diversity anyway, right?

“…Long-term effects and mechanisms beyond
physical stomach expansion remain unexplored….”

.

Until that exploration is compete I shall trick my stomach into thinking
it is full by eating pizza! But since I am on a diet only put pepperoni on half, please….

Sounds promising - but I’m not sure I like the idea of something remaining in my stomach indefinitely..

Hmmm... What are the side effects?

For example, I took Rybelus and Ozempic, but had to quit because both made me sick as a dog with extreme nausea and dizziness. It was like taking poison.

Some drugs are not for everyone.

The same as konjac root, which is sold as Leptoprin capsules.

It’s not that hard. Eat smaller meals, nobody needs to eat 1800/2000 plus calories a day outside athletes and intense manual laborers (even 1800 is pushing it if you are sedentary). No/less sugar, white bread, and heavy fats. Main thing is put down the phone/remote and get-off your butt and move around. Stop eating when you are bored.

Chia seeds swell 15-20 times their size and create a gel that satisfies appetite for quite awhile. And they are naturally good for you.

So I can drink a whole bar dry and still lose weight?

Cool. I don’t know about it expanding in my stomach, though.

What’s the risk of explosion?

But what yet-to-be-discovered side effects will harm us in the long run?
