It isn't just calories in, calories out. There are other ways to lose weight that suggest there are other things at work.

- didibus 9y agoIt will be interesting to see the result of those studies, and I hope it turns out true, and a pill is all we will need in the future to allow ourselves to eat what we want while not gaining weight. But for now, there's no proof this is true, and it could turn out that it's diet which changes the gut. I'll be patient on this one though.
- JoshMnem 9y agoI'm generally skeptical about instant pill solutions. Food is fuel, not a recreational drug. If you don't eat the right fuel, there will be problems, even if you don't gain weight. I don't think that there is a way around that.
