Sit On Your Ass, Loose Weight?

[No Limit]

Can you enjoy the benefits of exercise without the pain of exertion? The answer may one day be yes ? just take a pill that tricks the muscles into thinking they have been working out furiously.

Researchers at the Salk Institute report they have found two drugs that do wonders for the athletic endurance of couch potato mice. One drug, known as Aicar, increased the mice?s endurance on a treadmill by 44 percent after just four weeks of treatment.

A second drug, GW1516, supercharged the mice to a 75 percent increase in endurance, but had to be combined with exercise to have any effect.

?It?s a little bit like a free lunch without the calories,? said Dr. Ronald M. Evans, leader of the Salk group.

The results, Dr. Evans said, seem reasonably likely to apply to people, who control muscle tone with the same underlying genes as do mice. And if the drugs work and prove to be safe, they could be useful in a wide range of settings.

Or you could just take your fat ass to the gym.

Dr. Ronald M.

They talked about free lunch, then I thought they were going to mention Ronald McDonald, lol.

Yea, I'd rather be known as being strong for actually working at it, rather then 'I took a pill! dur!'

 

[Darkside55]

I sit on my ass and lose weight all the time, without pills. Take that, exercise!

 

[Tyguy]

high metabolism ftw

 

[Dog--]

lol yea, I was going to mention that too, I used to be a fatty in elementary school, and I do less now then ever (since high school started I think), and I'm perfectly skinny, in fact I look buff (I'm not super strong though, average I'd say).

Combination of Metabolism/puberty for the even more win.

 

[Deadpan]

high metabolism ftw

[TechnoHippyChic]

Awesome. Now all we need is gleemonex and we'll be set.

 

[VirusType2]

They still haven't invented anything to help gain fat.

What.

some people are too ****ing skinny and it's gross. Get some meat on that ass baby, and shake it. I don't want to see bones sticking out of your ass.

 

[Druckles]

High metabolism for more win.

What was wrong with steroids?

 

[Raziaar]

I have a slow metabolism, you bastards.

 

[theotherguy]

Sounds too good to be true.

I'll reserve my judgment for successful human trials and extensive testing for side-effects.

 

[Saturos]

Pills are bad mmmkay?

Testimonial: "I'm trim and fit thanks to this miracle weight-loss pill, but now I have liver, gall bladder, urinary tract, STD, hearing, pancreatic, spleen, disorders/dieseases. Plus I'm now sterile and can no longer give/have babies. If that's not enough, I have suicidal thoughts and depression thanks to this miracle pill."

The "pill" has made Americans weak.

 

[Dog--]

I also hear meth and coke/crack make you skinny as ****.

Magic, I say.

Wasn't Chris Farley a crack head?

 

[Phobie]

Taking weightloss pills isn't normal.

ON METH IT IS.

 

[Rizzo]

That's cheating. I read about it too, it's supposed to increase your performace with 70 % if taken with exercise.

 

[Shift]

Id rather continuing exercising tbh. Anyone who wants to take a pill to get fit needs a frontal lobotomy.

McDonalds.

 

[Mellish]

Just leave the fat shits alone to die of heart disease or something.

 

[lefty]

I prefer tight weight.

 

[Remus]

That's cheating.

So are running shoes.

 

[highlander]

high metabolism ftw

This.

 

[Phobie]

Bastards.

 

[lefty]

daww, don't be dat way.

 

[DEATHMASTER]

high metabolism = younger death (faster aging). Heard about it somewhere, look it up if you care.
I have it I think.

 

[VirusType2]

I don't know if that is true, but being overweight causes faster aging and early death.

Have you ever even seen an old fat person? Most of the oldest people are hunched over bony old bags of wrinkles

 

[Shift]

I dont have high metobalism, just genetically of slim build, like my dad, I dont eat that much (well I eat like a ****ing pig while at first year of uni, but during the summer havent ate that much), so have to exercise, if I didnt I would probably be a twig.

My gran is pretty overweight. She's 75 too.

 

[Pesmerga]

Lose weight.

Lose.

Loose weight = weight not strapped in properly.

 

[VirusType2]

My gran is pretty overweight. She's 75 too.

That's great, and I'm happy for you. But that doesn't change anything.

Being fat wreaks havoc on your immune system which kills you.

For example, when your arteries become lodged with fats, guess what happens? Your immune system sends shit (that's not the scientific term for it) to destroy the fats, but this creates a traffic jam in your arteries.

so have to exercise, if I didnt I would probably be a twig.

same here.

If I don't do some hardcore exercises like weight lifting, I will be a twig. I have to lift at least once a week. I enjoy it though usually, and it keeps me looking good.

 

[Krynn72]

I always knew the day would come where you actually could lose weight without exercising. Thank god, because working out and/or running sucks balls. Sweaty balls.

 

[Disrupted_Hunter]

I hate how people who are overwight and sit around and do nothing, but complain abotu things like, "Oh! This needs to be changed 'cause I'm overweight and it doesn't fit me properly." Being overweight is a choice, not something you don't have control over. And yes, I knwo there are some cases where it is out of your control, but you can still try to control it. I have a low metabolism, and all I do is sit around and eat junk food. I barely exercise, but I'm nice and fit. No fat on me =D lol

 

[delusional]

I sit on my ass all day, and stay skinny anyway.

 

[Raziaar]

Twig Boys!

 

[Disrupted_Hunter]

Twig Boys!

lmao
I remember that episode lol

 

[Raziaar]

I don't think that image is from the Pilot episode(though he's said Twig Boy on numerous occasions), but it's certainly suiting!

 

[Disrupted_Hunter]

The drawing is way different, but it was still a good episode

 

[Asuka]

Wow, this is ****ing retarded.

 

[Drackard]

Just leave the fat shits alone to die of heart disease or something.

You're so cool! Can we be friends?
