|
|
It's the low fat, very high carbohydrate diet that we've been eating for the last 40 years, which raises levels of the hormone insulin and programs fat cells to go into calorie storage overdrive.

It does this by leaving the intestine and traveling to the animals' fat stores, where it induces fat cells to secrete something called IGF-1, which acts as a master regulator of muscle-wasting pathways.
|
|
Yet clinics around the world offer unregulated procedures, typically using fat cells that are removed from the patient's body, treated, and injected back into it—the process that blinded the three women in South Florida.

This past February, Allergan agreed to buy Zeltiq to gain access to a device which uses cooling to kill fat cells, adding to its line-up of aesthetic products that are not dependent on reimbursement for sales.

From there, it would enter the bloodstream and migrate to other tissues, particularly to fat, where it would jump-start a series of biochemical processes that caused some of the fat cells, normally white, to turn brown.

"Marijuana is very lipophilic, so it will adhere to fat and incorporate itself into fat cells in the human body," Ron Flegel, director of workplace programs for the US Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA), told me.

So for the new study, which was published this month in The American Journal of Physiology — Endocrinology and Metabolism, researchers from the University of Bath in England decided to home in on relatively average people and their fat cells.

It will even go so far as to start depositing fat cells on our muscles, liver, and other organs to create space to store all this extra energy from calorie-rich diets—especially when combined with a low activity lifestyle.

Another fun fact: We tend to talk about fat like it's something you shed and gain, but in reality, the number of fat cells you have is set during childhood and adolescence, and that remains pretty much constant throughout adulthood.

Nutrition "Any diet that promotes obesity and insulin resistance will lower testosterone, because fat cells act like a sponge, soaking up testosterone and making it less freely available," explained Dr. Ronald Hoffman, who penned the book's chapter on diet and testosterone.

"Women who are overweight or obese likely have an increased risk of postmenopausal breast cancer due to increased hormone levels associated with fat cells," said Dr. Daniel Schauer of the University of Cincinnati College of Medicine, who wasn't involved in the study.

Speaking to VICE, Ludwig said that cutting fat from your diet in favor of processed carbs can trigger a cascade of unhealthy metabolic shifts that fuel diseases like diabetes and cause your body's fat cells to lock in—rather than dump—their energy.

Fat also bolsters immunity: "the cells that are precursors to fat cells, called preadipocytes, act like special immune cells that devour invading germs and bacteria, which helps explain why people who diet to extremes tend to get sick more often," Dr. Lavie explains.

Speaking to Tonic, Ludwig said that cutting fat from your diet in favor of processed carbs can trigger a cascade of unhealthy metabolic shifts that fuel diseases like diabetes and cause your body's fat cells to lock in—rather than dump—their energy.

My Wellness Solutions, a holistic health center with locations in both the Bronx and Harlem, offers a butt-lifting treatment that, according to their website, uses suction to help with mobilizing the fat cells to the desired area while lifting and plumping the buttocks.

"I don't care about that judgment," she told Good Housekeeping back in 2017 of her decision to get CoolSculpting (or cryolipolysis) — an FDA-cleared nonsurgical procedure that crystallizes fat cells in hard-to-work areas to kill them off and prevent them from growing back.

More brown than white on the cards A common focus to tackle obesity has been on accelerating the production of brown fat cells so people burn more calories, but this new insight could achieve the same but through enhancing the activity -- and efficiency -- of cells.
|

"The overall picture seems to be that when we (mice only have been studied here) eat a high calorie diet, RCAN1 expression increases in places like fat cells, and this causes us to burn less calories at rest and to store more fat," Keating says.
|

But research now shows many of us still have brown fat cells lurking in our bodies: One 2009 Harvard study revealed that 7.5% of women and 3.1% of men had small amounts of brown fat, and that these people tended to have healthier metabolisms.
|
|
He points to research demonstrating that high-fructose corn syrup and other forms of added fructose (as opposed to fructose found in fruit) can trigger the creation of compounds that lead us to form an excess of fat cells, unrelated to additional calorie consumption.
|

There are several possible theories for this, including that the body simply runs out of the ability to make new healthy subcutaneous fat cells to replace old, dying ones; or that weight gained quickly overwhelms the body's ability to store healthy fat, he said.

Future Meat production tanks for meat and fat Future Meat production tanks for meat and fat The secret to Future Meat's success is its use of undifferentiated fibroblast cells that can be triggered with small molecules to turn into either fat cells or muscle cells.
|
|
And a few we'd rather not discuss Then, in 1995, Dr. Jeffrey Friedman of Rockefeller University discovered what looked like the equivalent of insulin for diabetes — a molecule he called leptin that is secreted by fat cells and tells the brain how much fat the body has.
|
|
"Any pain from the heat will end within a second or two of you letting me that it's too much," she says, adding that pressing the panic button will shorten the length of time that fat cells are being heat damaged and therefore diminish the efficacy of the treatment.

Second place was a four-way tie: Weight Watchers, a version of the Medifast meal-replacement plan called Optavia, and the Atkins and the keto diets, which both emphasize low-carb, higher-fat meals that place the body into a state called ketosis, in which it burns fat cells for energy.
|

In the external-device realm, "the first and most well-studied [tool] to truthfully kill fat cells was CoolSculpting," says Beverly Hills dermatologist Karyn Grossman, MD — a technology inspired by a phenomenon called Popsicle panniculitis, a loss of cheek fat (and subsequent dimpling) seen in kids sucking on ice pops.

There are also nooks for manicures and meditation, working on your golf swing (at a PGX showroom), dry salt therapy (to breathe in the benefits of Himalayan salt), freezing off fat cells (in a non-invasive way) and, of course, shopping — for beauty products, workout gear, gym accessories and more (so much more).

In March, Alfonso Diaz, 250, a director and host with the international television channel Nuestra Tele, went to Dr. Jennifer Levine's office in New York to have his first of four sessions of SculpSure, a light-based body contouring treatment that, through intense heat and cold, targets and destroys fat cells in the flanks and stomach.

In fact, in its most serious form, the disease is estimated to become the leading cause for liver transplants by 2020, outpacing even hepatitis C. It's known as nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD), an umbrella term for a range of liver conditions that, as the name implies, affects people who drink little to no alcohol yet have more than 5 percent of their liver made up of fat cells.

Clunky gadgets may be a passing phenomenon, but in the place of magic bullets, America has found magic itself; with a dash of belief and a heap of disposable income, we bathe in vitamins and serums, bask in the light of Himalayan salt lamps, breeze through the mist of good-vibes chakra spray, receive the healing photons of lasers, lie beneath cryolipolysis wands which melt our fat cells, revitalize our faces with emollient of mud. Mud–mud!
