Hormone triggers are responsible for burning fat, right? Why aren’t there drugs that exploit and supercharge this process?

Question

Proper exercise is hard to come by, when your back is basically broken. I want to pop some Notbuprofen and feel the burn as the pounds melt away.

In theory, a drug that stimulates the hormones that demand the burning of fat *should* be possible. Why isn’t it, and/or why has no one made this yet?

Answer 1

There are about a metric fuckload of hormones responsible for burning fat, and with a lot of hormones, and with a lot of the hormones necessary for day to day basic function when you have elevated levels the body just adapts to the higher level to return to normal function and stops naturally producing it.

So trying this has 99.99% chance of fucking your body up for life and a very slim chance of even working right
