Diet pills are generally a bad idea. There really isn’t anything that can substitute for a healthy diet and regular exercise.
But what about a pill that tricks you into thinking you’ve eaten?
It’s a pill called fexaramine, and it does just that. When tested on rats, they lost white fat, lowered their blood sugar and cholesterol, increased their metabolism, and some of their white fat even was turned into brown fat.
How does it have this effect?
When you eat, your body releases bile acid into your intestine, which helps you digest. This then activates a chain reaction—your bile activates your liver, which increases your blood flow, and makes your fat tissue burn calories to make way for more fat calories.
But with this pill, it activates that process, but there’s no new fat calories to replace the burned ones.
Is it dangerous? No, not really. No matter what kind of appetite suppressant you take, your body will still want you to eat. All this pill does is put your body through a fake digestive process, which doesn’t hurt you.

Unlike other diet pills, it never hits the bloodstream, which makes it even safer.
Even better? The FDA requires that a weight loss drug cause 5% loss of body weight over one year, but in the studies done on rats, they lost 10% over a year!
Of course, because it’s only been tested on rats, there’s no guarantee that it will work for humans. But keep an eye out! This miracle pill may be on your radar sooner than you think!
