It's tru...Actually, that's partially true. It's true that you cannot lose fat cells (aside from lipo) but you can certainly gain more at any point of your life. Fat cells multiply so when you gain weight, not only do the existing ones expand but they can multiply. When you lose weight, you never lose fat cells, they just shrink in size.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6642985014932236090.post-25936780707624683112010-05-29T19:09:23.282-07:002010-05-29T19:09:23.282-07:00hmm interesting... good to know!

Yes lipo can get rid of fat cells, however when one does that you no longer have the ability to spread weight gain over many different areas of your body. So for those that have had fat removed from their hips/rear area when they gain weight they are very likely to store most of it in their upper body--resulting in back, arm and torso fat.

I do believe, however, that there are two points in our lives when we put on additional fat cells: in infancy and again at puberty. After that, they are a set number for life.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
