I think that there are better-than-placebo methods for causing significant fat loss. (60%)
ETA: apparently I need to clarify.
It is way more likely than 60% that gastric bypass surgery, liposuction, starvation, and meth will cause fat loss. I am not talking about that. I am talking about healthy diet and exercise. Can most people who want to lose weight do that deliberately, through diet and exercise? I think it's likely but not certain.
Voted down for agreement! (Liposuction... do you mean dietary methods? I'd still agree with you though.)
Edit: On reflection, 60% does seem too low. Changed to upvote.
I meant diet, exercise, and perhaps supplements; liposuction is trivially true.
Generally speaking, most diets and moderate exercise work very well for a year or two. But the shangri-la diet tends to work for as long as you do it (for many/most? people). Also, certain supplements work, but I forgot which. So I gotta agree with you.
For example... just about any stimulant you can get your hands on.
But there were others, I think? User:taw talked about one that you take with caffeine. It might have been a stimulant, though.
ephedrine. It's called ECA, including aspirin, but that wasn't used in the studies.
Thanks! :D
For sure. Laxatives. e coli. But yes, there are others with better side effect profiles too. :)
Take with caffeine? More caffeine. That'll do the trick. :P
