Every new diet drug that comes out is supposedly the next big thing.\u00a0 However, two new drugs have the potential to shake up the dieting industry. They are Pramlintide and Metreleptin and it appears they can help people drop more pounds than ever before.\u00a0 And the best part is that they\u2019ll work on burning fat without you having to lift a finger!<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"PramlintideLifting, eating, and bulking are some of the best things about bodybuilding.\u00a0 Watching my muscles grow and being able to eat massive amounts of calories are the main reasons why I love bodybuilding so much.\u00a0 But for every up, there\u2019s a down.\u00a0 And that down for me in bodybuilding is cutting.<\/p>\n

I mean who actually likes to cut their calories while turning up the cardio?\u00a0 Sure it\u2019s great to see the end results of cutting calories and doing more cardio, but it is hell getting there.\u00a0 That is why I like to monitor what\u2019s going on in the diet industry so I can see if any useful drugs will be coming out.\u00a0 Yes, that\u2019s right... I can be one of those lazy guys who would rather burn fat through diet drugs rather than doing an extra hour of cardio in the gym - expecially at this time of year.<\/p>\n

And while I\u2019ve been watching the diet industry, I recently saw where there are some new drugs which can cause massive weight loss in people - Pramlintide and Metreleptin.\u00a0 Weight loss expert Dr. Ken Fujoka stated this fact when he said, \u201cWith these new medications, now we're getting what we call double digit weight loss. 10 percent and up.\u201d\u00a0 Fujoka continued by saying, \u201cSo now you're losing 20, 30, and 40 pounds of weight with these new weight loss medications, which really makes the doctor and the patient a lot happier.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Pramlintide and Metreleptin combo drug that is allowing people to see these double digit losses in weight is made by a company called Amylin.\u00a0 Their injectable drug doesn\u2019t have a name yet, but it has proven to curb people\u2019s appetites in clinical trials.\u00a0 The injectable is a combination of two drugs Pramlintide, a synthetic analog of amylin, a neurohormone that regulates appetite and food intake, and Metreleptin a recombinant form of human leptin. By using Amylin\u2019s drug, people can resist their urges and start cutting major weight through their decreased appetite.\u00a0 The CEO of Amylin, Daniel Bradbury, explained the drug\u2019s effects by saying, \u201cThese are molecules, which actually act like a naturally occurring molecule (leptin).\u00a0 This is a molecule your fat cells produce to control your body weight.\u201d<\/p>\n

Here's the description of the drug from the Amylin corporate site.<\/p>\n

The pramlintide\/metreleptin combination reflects the tremendous potential of Amylin\u2019s integrated neurohormonal strategy in developing novel, safe, and effective new therapies for weight loss.<\/p>\n
