Weight loss and control by blocking absorption in the small intestine?

I have a theory that if we can inhibit the absorption of sugar (absorbed by fascilitated diffusion), fats, and/or proteins in the small intestine, we could control people's weights. The stomach would still get its ~15%, while the small intestine would get considerably less than its normal rate.





I thought of this while in physiology class. But it is true, we all like to eat. America could get in shape, eat great (not necessarily heathfully), and people would get rich! Sure, some like to argue that some people in the world are starving. But if we can get it, why not!? It will be produced!! We could eat a half pint of ice cream after eating a nice steak. To wash it down would be some delicious, very full-bodied beer. People would not even have to go crazy, just eat what they like to now..double portions and all. I hate eating 200-250 calories four to five times per day just to maintain a weight of 130 pounds! I can't even think about a decent serving of ice cream or chocolWeight loss and control by blocking absorption in the small intestine?
This was the idea behind the fake fat and several of the ';weight loss formulas';. All currently can cause GI disorders and anal leakage. Sounds attractive to me.Weight loss and control by blocking absorption in the small intestine?
How about we practice some self control instead?
So WHAT exactly is the question? You obviously have the solution.





Will it work for me? Please.....
I used to worry about my weight. Then my dad got stomach cancer and lost over a hundred pounds in a very painful way. I watched my dad wither away and die. Now I don't worry about weight, instead I just make sure I'm healthy. Which is by far more important!
Seem to me that alot feel that every obese person out there is due to their eating habits being out of control. All they do is eat eat eat, which I know for fact isnt true. Some people feel better with some extra pounds on them, they will tell that, some people who are very thin, look sickly. And feel that way as well. Wouldnt it be nice if we could get to the point to where we was happy just taking care of ourselves, making ourself happy and leaving others alone so they too could have their entitlement. Maybe if we could focus on the more important things.
In Roman times they made themselves throw up and then they would eat some more. Repeat. Very little food absorbed. Kinda messy, I'd think.
