Hello, all and sundry. I had an idea lately, which I was wondering if a biochemist might be able to refute.
What about using glucagon for weight loss - most 'fat' that people have amassed is carbohydrate based, and by injecting large amounts of glucagon, thus releasing it into the blood stream, in conjunction with drinking lots of water, would result in large amounts of sugar being urinated out - and a quick reduction in body mass.
I would assume that glucagon could be cultured in a similar way to insulin, vis genetic modification of bacteria, so getting it would not be a huge problem.
What do you guys think? Would it upset the bodies natural balance or have I hit jackpot and can go out and make my riches?

If you want to lose weight, the only thing that's really, really, really gonna help is if you burn more calories a day than you eat.
End of story.
Like I should talk, trying to get under 100 Kilo's, while playing chess on the computer🙂 Hey since the brain takes up 20% of the energy budget of the body, I figure the more you use your brain, the more calories you use up and therefore bound to lose weight, right?
