Tubby tyrant Kim’s North Korea boffins ‘invent fat busting medicine that blitzes bulge without diet of exercise’
Double-chinned dictator to drop his weight by taking 'bowel-loosening' wonder drug
BOFFINS working for tubby tyrant Kim Jong-un have invented a fat busting medicine that blitzes the bulge without diet or exercise.
The double-chinned despot, who has a passion for cheese, is said to have piled on a whopping six stone in just four years.
The new wonder drug - made from the skull cap plant - could serve as a welcome relief for the fridge-raiding dictator as it also aids bowel movements.
Ri Ran Hui, head of the Academy of Koryo Medicine, said: “Experiments with animals revealed that our new tablet decreases brown and white fat tissues and we also found out its weight reducing effects and action mechanism.”

She also claimed the drug can bring about a 10 per cent weight loss in six months.
Hui added that the compound helps reduce high blood pressure and has “distinctive effects of thinning hard faeces, loosening the bowels and removing excess moisture and heat and has no side effects even if it is used for a long time”.
She said the goal of her research team was to prevent North Korea’s people becoming obese - despite the fact the UN claims many of them are starving.
Lardy leader Kim Jong-un's weight gain is mainly due to his love of foreign booze and food – with Emmental cheese a particular favourite.
Chunky Kim, 33, is now believed to tip the scales at a whopping 20 stone and blows a fortune on imported delicacies.
Last year, married Kim brought in £155,000 of whisky from Germany, Denmark and Georgia.
The dictator – who was schooled in Switzerland where he developed a taste for Johnnie Walker Scotch and French cheeses – also imported £2,000 of rum from Germany and Denmark.
Germany was also the source of £6,764 of gin and £108,000 went on vodka from Russia, and former Soviet states Georgia and Belarus.
North Korea imported £22,000 of liqueurs with £9,000 worth of the drinks from France.
A further £219,000 went on wine and champagne from countries that including Italy, Bulgaria and Macedonia.
He spent £134,000 on scallops from China and £18,000 on speciality coffees from Germany and Italy.
Kim also ordered imports of cheese costing £65,000 from nations including Italy and Russia.
His splurges on luxury items are in stark contrast to the plight of his impoverished people.
A UN Food and Agriculture Organisation report stated that North Korea remains one of the 34 nations in the world needing external aid to feed its people.
The agency estimates around 2.8 million '"vulnerable" people in the North face an 'ongoing struggle with under-nutrition and a lack of vital protein and fat in the diet.'
