I subscribe to a weekly fitness business newsletter that gives me very helpful information about how to stay ahead of the game (similar to our newsletter for you) and it was brought to my attention that there is yet another “magic pill” for weight loss on the market. Many of you may have heard of it. It’s called AICAR. This drug has been labeled the perfect drug for “couch potatoes”. According to research, AICAR can physically change the composition of muscle, turning it from sugarburning, fast-twitch tissue to fatburning, slow-twitch tissue. This is essentially the same process that occurs in distance runners while in training. The propaganda reports that all you have to do is take the drug and sit on your butt and you will become conditioned like a distance runner.
In my eyes, the people who buy into this hype are as misguided as the manufacturers of this drug! Come on folks! When has there ever been a pill you could take to help you lose weight, get healthy, and feel better that didn’t have horrible side effects or be dangerous to your health? Much like the Alli pill that supposedly helps to block absorption of certain fat into our body, the list of side effects is quite disturbing. As with Alli, you may experience extreme gas with oil spotting, loose stools, and more frequent stools that are hard to control!! Are you kidding me, who wants that? And that was taken right from the Alli pill website.
