This was one of my hopes for the new "weight loss drugs" like smeglitude, etc. But in reading about them they don't seem to act on metabolic rate, but just really cut the desire to eat food. So they work by calorie restriction at the end of the day vs actually changing metabolism?
Am I wrong here?
After reading the reviews of the drug, I decided to just do calorie counting of everything entering my mouth. Down 20 pounds so far in a month or so...
Things that change your actual metabolic rate are scarier. Like DNP. Ultimately the increased calorie expenditure needs to be spent somewhere and if it isn't just heat then it would have be be a large increase in NEEE (i.e. you get jittery) or I dunno, maybe you just get the compulsion to go on runs or do chores or just perfuntory tasks (like meth heads)
