Research carried out on pigs showed they ate almost 40% less food after ingesting the capsule

Dieters everywhere know that, no matter how inventive a chef you may be, nothing leaves you buzzing like sugary or fatty food.

Now science might have the answer: a vibrating pill, swallowed before eating, that creates feelings of fullness.

The research, which has yet to be carried out in humans, shows that after 30 minutes of activity by the Vibes pill, pigs ate on average almost 40% less food in the following half hour than they did without the device, and gained weight more slowly.

if I swallowed a vibrator I will probably eat 40% less and not because of feelings of fullness
