Your fat cells don’t care about diets …

May 7, 2008

… just their size does.  A Swedish research team found that fat cells do reproduce, in contrary to what was previously thought. More interestingly, researchers found that people on diet do not reduce the number of their fat cells: fat cells shrink or expand depending on the chosen food regime and go on dividing keeping their number quite stable. So don’t get crazy if, even being on diet, your roundish shape is not affected: fat cells are tough to be defeated.
