Although you can’t tell by looking at them, some people have tiny fat cells that shrink and develop as their weight fluctuates.
Doctors at Karolinska University Hospital Huddinge in Sweden measured and weighed people’s fat cells to see how their varying sizes affect their weight over time.
Fifteen years later, they weighed the same folks.
Researchers have revealed that persons with fewer fat cells are more likely to acquire weight in the future than those with larger ones, who are more likely to shed weight.
