How does the body decide where to add or take away fat when gaining/losing weight?
In: Biology
You have a set number of fat cells in your body. Depending on your genetics there may be more or less of them in certain parts of your body. If you gain more body fat, you’re not gaining cells, they’re just getting bigger. The same with losing body fat, those cells get smaller. They more or less all grow and shrink at the same rate.
