Earlier, scientists from the University of Texas Health Science Center said they had invented the drug CPACC, which will allow you not to gain weight after eating desserts. Potasheva noted that it is too early to talk about the safety of this medication, since it has not yet been used in humans. And the discovery itself, according to the nutritionist, is not a global breakthrough.
“The idea of this drug is that by affecting the work of intracellular magnesium, or rather mitochondrial magnesium, we can affect the human metabolism”said the expert.
According to her, the same logic is followed by nutritionists who prescribe diets to include a large amount of greens in the diet.
“The point of this drug, if it ever appears in human studies and then on the market, will be that the effect of the drug will enhance a process called thermogenesis,” Potasheva added.
Because of this process, there is an increased loss of energy, due to which the balance of incoming and outgoing calories changes. However, it is too early to talk about the safety of this artificially induced process.
Earlier, dietitian Tatyana Zaletova told why Lent should not be treated as a way to lose weight. She stated that in order to lose weight, eating habits need to be changed not for a short time, but on an ongoing basis.
