My favorite fat loss drug along these lines is dinitrophenol. It is the true miracle fat burning drug. It interferes with cellular metabolism in such a way that the body just nonstop oxidizes fat. Fat mass loss in the order of a pound a day or more is entirely possible and some bodybuilders use it to get to a ludicrously low bodyfat percentage. Unfortunately oxidizing that much fat generates a lot of heat, so much that an overdose can be lethal because your body literally roasts itself to death and titration is extremely difficult. Oh and blindness is a common side effect. And for added fun it’s an high explosive. Needless to say it’s not FDA approved.

Better not tell that to all the cardiac patients on nitroglycerin.

Also when you eat on it you are punished by heating up even more.

Honestly GLP-1 agonists will save lives just by being the go-to replacement for people who previously would have used DNP. GLP-1 agonists are effective enough that everyone in those circles basically stopped using DNP suddenly a couple years ago.
