In the year 2525

sxgt · 10-19-2009, 12:07 AM

well , lets make it sooner. 2025. What do you think the future will hold for weight loss? I imagine in the future we will have science that can alter your body and how interacts with food. When your body senses you have enough Calories you just pass the food through your body and stop processing it. No stored energy as fat. It would be a miracle, but those are my ideas, what are yours?

That would suck. It would take away the challenge of cutting, and just about anyone could be in great shape without working very hard. The pool of people in good shape would greatly increase, and being fit would no longer be the result of hard, consistent work, but rather a result that anyone could easily achieve.

but genetics are already like that for us. I can lift hard as hell for 4 months and have some punk ass come into the gym and show me up because of his genes.

Some people eat all they want and never pack on the pounds.

Nutrigenomics will make it so everyone can get a customized diet that works best for them based on their genetics.

Someone will come up with a fat loss pill that actually works.

Someone will have figured out how to convert type I muscle fibers to type II fibers and vice versa.

In the next few years someone will develop a method to induce apoptosis in fat cells.

The human body does this already

What?

This doesn't apply to anyone, and don't give me the BS about hard gainers.

They haven't tried everything unless they eat 6000 calories and then let's see them not grow....

You guys are silly. We can engineer the hell out of our bodies but once you start delving into the phsyiology behind what you guys are proposing. , **** 500 years is a long time but some of this is damn near impossible without several revolutions in the way we do medicine. (Changes in pharmaceutic distribution, consumption, interaction with body etc).

If any of this comes to be, it will be under nanotechnology, not traditional medicine. We can't change our bodies the way we're doing it now, but we can sure as hell probably invent little buggers that can eventually do it for us.

Here's my contribution:
In the year 2525 Governments will finally have realized that the general masses are not strong willed enough or really get on the nutrition/exercise ball and start rationing food OR the general masses will have grown some balls/ received some education enough to eat right and exercise without being forced.

I dont think much will change apart from more fat arses in the world and a bigger seperation from fit to fat people.

Here's a quote from the editorial that you cited that sums up the findings of the other two:

"Moreover, it is clear that all of these cellular characteristics exhibit some degree of plasticity in response to exercise training."

That's not what I meant, and I apologize if I misspoke. I should have said:

You are strictly right in that it doesn't apply to anyone. There are, however, people whose appetites shut off after a bout of overfeeding. There are some people who fidget, pace, and are generally more active after a bout of overfeeding. Some people experience both of these things when overfed.

Someone did an informal case study not too long ago in which they took a group of naturally thin people and fed them 10,000kcal per day for a month. I think the most any of them gained was 8lbs and the least anyone gained was 2lbs. Some of them were bouncing off the walls the whole month, some complained of feeling sick when eating so much, and some would puke. There was no supervised exercise program.

Have you seen the movie Wall-E?

Have you ever seen the movie Idiocracy? It is supposed to be a comedy,, but if you ever watch it view it as a documentary for that is what the future holds.......

I think the future should hold better preventative maintenance for humanity.

-More education on eating healthy
-More whole food and organic shopping centers
-Lower or special availability of fast food and junk (like that movie "The Island")

That's what I think should happen. However, what will actually happen is anyone's guess.

Maybe not by 2025, but I think sometime in the next 50 years the human genome project will have run its course and we have some amazing results. Human DNA is made up of about 30,000 strands there are parts of the DNA that tell the human body to store fat, if we could alter that people would never get fat again.

Then there is nano bot technology, looking at fat loss when they are properly engineered 100 calories has the ability to provide the equivalent of 10,000 calories in energy. Assuming we find a solution to our energy/oil crisis, by the year 2100 I dont think anyone will be fat anymore unless they really wanted to be.

This civilization will not last another 500 years
