Four important things worth nothing: 1) Weight gains comes from too many kcals consumed and not enough burned. 2) Weight loss comes from burning more kcals than consumed. 3) That is, burned kcals is half of the equation. What's consumed is the other half. Put another way, as those who exercise know: You can't out-train a bad diet. 4) Burning kcals isn't the only benefit of exercise. There are cardiovascular benefits. There benefits to the brain. --- All that noted, this is *not* exercise in pill form. It appears, at least in the short term, a weight loss aid. But that won't last if kcals consumption increases to the point it "outruns" (so to speak) the pills capabilities. It's also worth noting that drugs for reducing cholesterol ended up having long term unintended consequences. We'll see what happens with these weight treatments.
