Scientists might be able to predict whether you will gain or lose weight from the size of your fat cells.It has long been known that the size and number of our fat cells determine how much body fat we have. But exactly how they impact long-term changes in body weight has been less well understood.To explore these associations, researchers from the Karolinska Institutet in Sweden measured the size and number of fat cells in the abdominal fat of 260 volunteers with an average BMI of 32.
It is easier to make empty space in the room by letting out air from the big rather than the small balloons.'Conversely it is easier to fill up the room if many small balloons increase their volume a bit, as compared with having few large balloons and filling them up just a bit.'Having small fat cells isn't all bad, though.
