…And I predict it won’t work
Here we go…
“Scientists Are Developing A Patch To Burn Off Your Love Handles For Good” is the headline to this article
The study, run by researchers at the Columbia University Medical Center in New York City,
focused on turning white fat — the stagnant, troublesome kind that builds up around the waist
into brown fat, which is used for energy storage and burns off quickly.
Li Qiang, the study’s co-leader and an assistant professor of pathology and cell biology at Columbia,
explained in a news release that the drugs they’re using aren’t new ways of “browning” fat.
But the delivery method is, and it’s much better for the body.
“There are several clinically available drugs that promote browning,
but all must be given as pills or injections,”
Qiang said. “This exposes the whole body to the drugs, which can lead to side effects
such as stomach upset, weight gain and bone fractures.
Our skin patch appears to alleviate these complications by delivering most drugs directly to fat tissue.”
Now this leaves us with 2 options again…
Wait around and get fatter, un-fitter but more worryingly… more unhappy
as we wait for this to come on the market
Or you could make a start on doing this the way we know that definitely works…
Eating better to fuel yourself to move more
But it all comes down to you and your mindset
Do you shy away from doing the work required or do you step up to it and embrace it?
Joe ‘to start or not to start?’ Bullen
