[God luvs America]

so magnesium is a/the culprit?

There’s a completely drugfree way to stop getting fat... It’s called... Stop stuffing your face all day, and every day with food.

[E. Pluribus Unum]

The way I read it, it keeps your from getting fat, but no mention of what it does if you are already fat.

[Jim W N]

Death does the same thing and, according to Woody Allen, there are no side effects...

[9YearLurker]

Or just eat reasonably.

It’s like Steve Martin’s plan on how to have a million dollars and not pay any taxes:

1. First, get a million dollars............... 🙄

That’s no fun!.................

“When we give this drug to the mice for a short time, they start losing weight. They all become slim,”

Works for mice!

[Yo-Yo]

[Red Badger]

Magnesium supplements are cheap...................

[9YearLurker]

Just take your magnesium at night to help you sleep—and don’t eat too much before going to bed.

Timing is everything in life.

[Harmless Teddy Bear]

You missed a bit.

“When we give this drug to the mice for a short time, they start losing weight. They all become slim,” said Madesh Muniswamy, PhD, professor of medicine in the health science center’s Joe R. and Teresa Lozano Long School of Medicine. The study appears in Cell Reports.

Apparently it does also help to lose weight.

Magnesium is a cofactor in hundreds of enzymatic reactions in the body. It cannot be reduced entirely.

Try this one trick...

It’s true though, and people’s self-awareness is strongly lacking in this regard.
If you put them in a secure environment, calorie rehab clinic, and restricted them to 1350 calories per day, they would probably complain that they are being starved.

[Halls]

I lost 40 lbs last year. And now I eat good so I can keep it off. It’s hard work and worth it. Sure I eat bad food now and then, but not enough to gain weight. I think I’m doing it the right way. Taking pills isn’t.

[fidelis]

Where did they get those before and after silhouettes of mice that look like women?

[ROCKLOBSTER]

Since this has been known since 2023, what’s the latest and is it now available?

As an OTC?

[Red Badger]

One pill makes you larger,
And one pill makes you small.
And the ones that mother gives you,
Don’t do anything at all...................

[Red Badger]

Why? Do you have fat mice?.......................😁
