A member asked:
Is it possible for fat cells in our body to be resistant to diet and exercise or is this just a way of promoting liposuction?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Fat cells: Ultimately, fat burning becomes universal in distribution. However, fat cell resistance is real. Fat tissues have less circulation than other tissues and so are less exposed to burning dynamics. Low insulin is essential for adipose burning. And glycogen burning, ie stored starch burning, is first in line. Adipose burning kicks in with low insulin AND depletion of glycogen stores. Difficult!
