There are weight loss shakes, pills , surgeries, and diets galore, and now scientists are attempting to create a weight loss injection . The injectable drug has helped rodents decrease their weight by 25 percent in just one week. You can almost hear the voiceover for the infomercial. Scientists have combined two natural hormones into a single drug that both suppressed the appetite and increased the metabolism in rats. This new drug is said to mimic the effects of gastric bypass surgery. Tests on humans won’t happen for a few years though,

so don’t give up your gym membership just yet. If this shot sounds too good to be true, it probably is. We’re always looking for a quick fix when it comes to slimming down, but if permanent weight loss is your goal, eating right and exercising is the way to go. It may take a lot more time to see the results you’re after, but at least you’ll know you did it in a healthy way that’s sure to last.
