The Inhale-Exhale Diet

You’ve tried the Atkins diet, the South Beach diet, and the diet-of-the-week on cable TV. Nothing seems to work. What if you could lose that excess fat by simply inhaling and then exhaling your fat in the form of carbon dioxide?

In a study published in Cell Metabolism, chemical and biomolecular engineering professor James Liao, associate professor of human genetics and pediatrics Katrina Dipple, and their research team at UCLA showed that genetic alterations enable mice to convert fat into carbon dioxide and remain lean while eating the equivalent of a fast-food diet.

Cool!
