Can a pill trick your muscles into burning fat and building muscle?

That is what some researchers are believing from some initial research that has been conducted.

Though don't get your hopes up just yet.  Despite what you read in the media this research is extremely new and has only been conducted on mice.  Like I have discussed before the media likes to twist research to make it sound more exciting and so far I have only seen one media story accurately report on this latest research. 

Here is the research to date.  Scientists fed a drug to couch potato mice that didn't exercise and this drug led them to burn more calories, have less fat and run farther than the untreated mice.  Another drug fed to mice that did exercise made their workout much more effective.

What the mainstream media is failing to report on is that the scientists have even said to not get your hopes up yet because this is just 1 study and it was conducted with mice.  What first has to happen is can this study be duplicated in numerous other studies involving mice.  Then they need to conduct numerous studies with humans to see if it can be duplicated as well.

After all that then maybe we will have an answer as to whether or not it works.  This most likely will be years from now before we know the answer.

Until then continue with your interval training and rotation of carbs for the best and permanent results.  Don't wait for this miracle in a pill because the research may find that humans don't get the same results as mice.
