New fat jab lets you eat same food

Early research claims weight stays off too

A NEW fat-burning injection could allow people to eat the same amount of food they usually do but still lose weight.

Tests on animals suggest the drug could help the body process food better so it does not get stored as fat.

Mice given the weekly jab, called RES-010, lost weight despite eating the same amount as mice who were not given the treatment.
