What I believe Lee is referring to is oxyntomodulin, a naturally occurring hormone (all hormones are “naturally occurring”, one would think) that caused “weight loss” in a recent UK study.

The problem? This was accomplished by decreasing normal appetite mechanisms, not through nifty tricks with beta sites. Beta 2 agonists, for example, increase thermogenic responses, therefore radically increase fat loss. All it costs you is your health, your adrenal glands, and possibly your life. Small price, eh?

In the future, a B2A may be developed (or a B3A…or B112A, if there was such a thing) that does not stimulate the nervous system and cardiovascular mechanisms to allow for greater internal body heat. That would be a nifty thing — but again, this does not solve the challenge.

The only thing that will solve the challenge is YOU.

There’s nothing wrong with eating, folks — it’s what you’re eating that’s the problem. Seriously, have you ever know anyone who got fat from eating too many apples, too much celery, or too much lean organic protein foods? No? Me neither. There you go — secret solved.

Bottom line — tricking the body into thinking it’s not hungry when it actually ‘needs’ to eat in order to lose weight is no different than making the body believe it’s wide awake when it needs to sleep.

Speed does that, and it’s illegal in most countries.

It’s possible that Lee was referring to a new (read: old, but made to look new) study on the hormone leptin. If so, Christian Finn, M.Sc. has a great article on that article — and you can trust Christian’s opinion on such things much more than the media’s slant.

Thanks for bringing this up, Lee — it is an important topic! {10}
