...does liposuction reduce the size of any remaining fat cells; large fat cells appear to produce more harmful proteins than do small ones. Some doctors believe the results would have been better if the patients had been only a few pounds overweight. In any case, the best way to shrink fat cells is still to create a negative energy balance by - you guessed it - eating fewer calories than you burn. Disappointing as this study might be, there is hope for folk who struggle with weight. It's becoming increasingly clear that even modest weight loss - even as little...
