HHmm.. interesting, but I dont think it would significantly help me.

It might help me a little, I mean, if I eat a small meal and dont get full, this shot would probably help me feel full on that small amout of food, BUT..

What about those times when you are not hungry at all, and maybe even already full, and you keep eating anyway because you are bored, or lonely, or scared, etc? ( in other words, emotional eating? )

I suppose it would be helpful in certain situations, but it wouldnt be a cure all. it remids me of that Gastric Pacemaker everyone has been talking about, where you get this little thing implanted under your skin and it stimulates the Vagus nerve ( the nerve that signals us when we are full ) to fool you into thinking you are full even if you havent eaten.. sounds good, but again, it only adresses a small part of the problem of why people overeat.

It would be nice if someobody could "fix" the mental issues associated with overeating; Until then, I think most "fixes" address only the symptoms of the problem rather than the cause.

Just my 2 cents, of course.
