Research carried out on pigs showed they ate almost 40% less food after ingesting the capsule
Dieters everywhere know that, no matter how inventive a chef you may be, nothing leaves you buzzing like sugary or fatty food.
Now science might have the answer: a vibrating pill, swallowed before eating, that creates feelings of fullness.
The research, which has yet to be carried out in humans, shows that after 30 minutes of activity by the Vibes pill, pigs ate on average almost 40% less food in the following half hour than they did without the device, and gained weight more slowly.
if I swallowed a vibrator I will probably eat 40% less and not because of feelings of fullness
The vibrations, which are powered by a battery encased in the swallowed capsule, can be triggered when stomach acid dissolves a membrane around the pill, or by a timer.
Seems totally safe, certainly nothing can go wrong here.
They’ve been doing it with cameras for some time now. Although I have not researched for any instance of injury.
Yeah, saw it on TLC in the late 90’s early 2000 on life in the ER. Super low res but also had a light
So… after it comes out… can you reuse it? Like have a set of three or four that you rotate through???
Counting calories is hard enough that folks are going to probably decide to swallow a vibrating pill…
Neat.
