Fat Cell Theory has been popular in medical fields for more than 30
years. The idea behind the theory is that each body is programmed to have
a basic set number of cells. Fat cell theory shows that during growth, fat
cells increase in number. When energy intake exceeds expenditure, fat cells
increase in size. When fat cells have reached their maximum size and
number again. When fat loss, the size of the fat cells shrinks, but not the
number.
The theory states that the creation of new fat cells is far easier than
losing old ones, a fact that plays an important role in adult weight loss.
