Fat Cells Are Forever: Reducing Fat Cells Numbers is Impossible

Brain cells come and brain cells go, but fat cells live forever.~Author Unknown

It saddens me to say it but you cannot get rid of your fat cells. The number of fat cells that you have is fixed and, if you get more fat cells, that number will never go back down. The only way you could get rid of fat cells is with the help of liposuction, but that isn’t a good option as you will find out soon.

There are two periods in our development when we gain fat cells. We get our first fat cells during while we are a fetus in our mother’s womb. The second wave of fat cell creation takes place during puberty. From that moment on if you are lucky you won’t get any more additional fat cells, and you will have the same amount of fat cells all your life.

Recent studies have shown that while it is impossible to get rid of fat cells, it is possible to make new immortal fat cells. The process is quite simple. When you gain weight your fat cells increase in size. When they become about 3 times their usual size your fat cells start to divide, making brand new fat cells. The exact point at which each individuals fat cells start to divide and multiply is different, but what is certain is that nobody is immune to the process. All it takes is a sudden weight gain.

The more overweight you are the more fat cells you have and the more effort you will have to do to lose weight. And after all that work you will still have the same amount of fat cells, just that they will be deflated, making you look thinner. Bummer, I know, but that is what scientists are telling us is happening.

You could try using liposuction as a last resort for reducing fat cells count. But there is a problem with this instant weight loss solution. The instant you remove your excess fat and fat cells from your body, your Leptin levels drop way below their usual level. This forces your body to take immediate action to correct the deficiency in Leptin. What exactly does your body do? It increases your appetite, making you eat lots of food to make new fat cells. I guess after liposuction you are struck with a monster of a hunger, and battling hunger is always a losing battle.

So the only good option remaining is sucking the fat cells dry of fat, making them look like deflated balloons. A recent study done at Wake Forest University School of Medicine in Winston-Salem, North Carolina showed that the best way to reduce fat cells in size is by exercising. Exercising proved to be a whole lot better than dieting, especially when it comes to reducing the size of the fat cells from your belly. If you want to get rid of belly fat, start exercising.
