Things change fast in the world of Science. It was only about a year ago that one of the major online weight loss websites was discussing the possibility of an exercise pill.
The following hypothetical discussion took place on the Diet Blog in September, 2007 and was in regard to “what if” an exercise pill were to be invented?
From a writer named Crabby McSlacker:
Don’t get excited, scientists haven’t invented one yet. But how many times have you heard that if they could put exercise in a pill it would be a miracle drug because of all incredible health benefits exercise provides?
It’s an interesting mental exercise to pretend that it’s already happened. Suppose there was now a pill that could burn the same number of calories, build the same muscles, and provide all the same health benefits as any amount of exercise you could do.
How much exercise would you get?
* Would you ever go to the gym again?
* Would you keep doing your favorite run every day? Walk it instead? Or stay inside and relax with a good book?
* Would you still stroll the neighborhood streets just to see what’s going on? Or would you just wave to your neighbors from the inside of your car?
* Would you go on a pretty nature hike that was a mile long? Ten miles long? Or go to a movie instead?
