Combining glucagon with what?

Byetta, looks like it controls blood sugar along with glucagon. I think these drugs give most people an excuse to furthur ignor good dietary and exercise habits, let the drugs do the work. But for gods sake don't do steroids, thats cheating.

It says all this weight loss happened in one week. Is there a rebound effect?
Were these rats exercised or not?

I suck at math, but let's say a person weighs 220lbs 15% body fat. That's 33 lbs of fat. 25% of 220 is 55lbs and 42% of 33 is 13lbs. 55lbs lost 13 of which is fat, leaves 42 lbs of lost muscle I know rat studies don't translate directly to human, but how's my math?

I'm glad I'm not fat. All the tubbies in flabby land are probably getting their hopes up, and that's sad. If there's one thing I hate it's "the next best thing" for obesity. I'm amazed constantly at how many heavy people there are... I was at my girlfriends grandparents house tonight for a birthday and I was thinking back to my post on this new drug earlier today... Uncle trying to lose 50 pounds, her mom had gastric bypass, her aunt is a porkchop, her cousin is an ex porkchop and still hefty, her brother is the captain of his own portly tugboat, and fackn got dammit my girlfriend is getting a poochy booty and belly because she keeps drinking too much and hitting taco bell. Im not going to tell you about the rest of the fat people there because im running out of humorous "fat" synonyms. I felt like the savior in high bmi land when I turned down the birthday cake and 2 of them followed my lead. Is this what the world is coming to? I might top post this as an ot rant. This shit really gets my goat.

I dont think there is every gonna be a miracle weight loss drug in the future. Anything they come up with thats gonna increase the shit outta your metabolism will most likely eat up muscle as well, so maybe some stuff for the average joe will come out and work but not us. I dont see how anything will ever beat DNP. Increasing your metabolism up to %40-50 and being muscle sparring, nothing will touch that, but obviously will never be legal. Plus I dont believe dnp will totally prevent muscle loss. Im sure you will lose a little with an increase in your metab up to %50. Plus other stuff thats out that helps control insulin like glucophage will help but at the same time it drastically lowers igf levels while its in your system so its kinda a catch22. Maybe someting with myostatin will end up working in the future but I bet down the road it will have some crazy deadly sides.
