Losing weight by eating an “imaginary meal in a pill”

摘要

A drug dubbed an “imaginary meal in a pill” is being developed by scientists. The pill tricks the body into thinking it has consumed a large amount of calories—as if you have just eaten a substantial meal. The dieter’s dream, it would allow them to continue to enjoy fatty foods without putting on weight. The drug, which tricks the body into believing it has eaten, also cuts cholesterol and keeps blood sugar levels under control.
