A drug dubbed1 an 'imaginary meal in a pill' is being developed by scientists.

美国科学家正在研发一种“装有虚拟食物”的药丸。
 
The pill tricks the body into thinking it has consumed a large amount of calories - as if you have just eaten a substantial meal.
 
The dieter's dream, it would allow them to continue to enjoy fatty foods without putting on weight.
 
The drug, which tricks the body into believing it has eaten, also cuts cholesterol2 and keeps blood sugar levels under control.
 
Researcher Ronald Evans said: 'This pill is like an imaginary meal.
 
'It sends out the same signals that normally happen when you eat a lot of food, so the body starts clearing out space to store it.
 
'But there are no calories and no change in appetite.'
 
British doctors described the US breakthrough as potentially of great importance – but cautioned that much more work needs to be done.
 
The research comes amid growing concern that the world is losing the battle against obesity3.
