To all those struggling to lose the extra flab, well, don’t.
I mean, don’t struggle.
Let it happen because it seems researchers / scientists in Australia have found a way to increase metabolism for weight loss by manipulating the fat cells.
I don’t know about you but it sounded darn gross to me ‘manipulating the fat cells’…it made me think of a doctor poking some sorta needle into my many folds of extra flesh and twisting it around to ‘manipulate the fat cells’ within.
Ugghhh…sounds painful and scary. Anyway, after further reading, I realised it doesn’t involve needles but the doctors need only ‘interfere with the renin-angiotensin system to induce selective loss of fat mass’.
Renin-whatcrap system you ask?
Heck beats me.
I’m not a doctor and even this system thingy left me wondering if it is another torturous device, perhaps a tube like the one used for liposuction? So, I continued reading this piece of news which becomes even more littered with big words small people like me could barely comprehend.
After reading through the piece a few times, (nope, I don’t have ADD, it is just so hard to concentrate when the article is full of scientific terms which does not interest me in the least!) I finally realised that they meant that you could take hypertension medication to lose weight! At least that’s what it said:
“ACE inhibitor and Angiotensin Receptor Blocker (ARB) drugs are already widely available to treat hypertension and have been found to have this same effect on fat and glucose metabolism, but many people using these drugs may not have noticed any significant weight loss because their lean body mass could have increased.
Wow, talk about two-in-one. Control your hypertension while at the same time, lose weight.
HAH, slimming centres eat your hearts you! People can just pop hypertension-controlling pills and lose weight. No need for slim wraps or whateveritis you do in slimming centres. I wonder what type of beauty salon equipments those centres uses anyway…
Oh, yeah. I forgot to mention that this is only in testing stage ya. So, please don’t go rushing to the nearest pharmacy to get the ARB watchamacallit drugs just yet. Don’t throw out your plus size clothes either. Let the scientists do their work first.
After all, it is only proven in rats now but not on humans yet. Ya, ya, I know many of you are rats anyway but I think they meant the real rats, you know, the small furry, squeeky kind?
If you are not convinced or confused, well, go and read the article yourself la.

Losing weight?
A constant dilemma for many
Slimming centres make money
When men and women want to look pretty
With body curves and toned muscles
Every one wants to have something
Anything new people will try
Thinking it will help them in social standing
Yet if they don’t watch what they eat
All money will go to the drain
I know some just don’t care
“I am what I am
It is my life what is with you?”
Only when one is sick
Realizing life is hovering in the air
Finally the truth will dawn on it
Life is precious
It takes a small effort to make it works magic
So eat a balance diet
Voila! Life breathing easy!
I know it isn’t easy losing weight
I am doing exercises for years……..
Taking weight to maintain it too
Yet I don’t get it even
From 29 jumping to 34….
Still looking healthy
Pills some more?
We will become a group of pills popping addicts
From vitamins to slimming pills……….
And the scientists reported about effects on vitamin pills…
So it is better to see what we eat
This is the first rule
Perhaps the last one too
