Is it a weight loss miracle pill? Maybe. A new exercise pill being developed may be the answer to overweight people around the world very soon. Better yet, this exercise pill/ weight loss miracle pill will actually increase stamina and build muscles at the same time. Could this be too good to be true?

US researchers now have two possible pills which appear to be able to build muscle, increase stamina, and even burn fat. How could a pill do all of this? Some research mice were able to run 44% further - suggesting humans may be able to do the same without prior training, after being given the new exercise pill. The exercise pills could eventually help tackle muscle wasting diseases, or help improve the health benefits of exercise in people at risk of conditions such as diabetes. The two drugs, labeled AICAR and GW1516, appear to have an effect on a gene involved in the building and regulation of muscle.

These super-fit mice were also resistant to weight gain - even when put on a high-fat diet that made other mice obese - and had lower blood sugar levels. It was not until 50 minutes of running was added to their daily routine that these mice showed increased fitness. Compared to exercise alone, they improved their endurance by 77%, and increased their portion of "slow twitch" or non-fatiguing muscle fibers by 38%.

What does this new super diet pill mean to those of us trying to lose weight? It could literally be the diet miracle cure that we have all been waiting for. Let's just hope they develop them quickly.
