Now you don’t have to starve or lift a single finger to lose weight!

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.
