Default Fat Cells

I read somewhere a while back that if you put on weight your body can increase the number of fat cells it has as well as the size of those cells, but if you loose weight the total number of fat cells in unaffected and the cells just get smaller.

On the other hand... I have also heard that this is BS and that you have X number of fat cells regardless and that the size of the cells can change but that their quantity remains stable.

Which is correct?

Cell death doesnt happen very often, but the body is quite adept at forming new adipocytes.

Does that imply that once you have been fat you can never totally get rid of the fat cells (just make them smaller)?

Without extreme measures, yes.

I second that notion. I wish someone would have told me that before I let myself gain 20 pounds last year. I might have taken it a little more seriously. How can you get more fat cells so easily but not lose them with just as much ease? I know you can shrink them down and look great, but I just don't like the idea of carrying arounf all these extra fat cells. I wish I hadn't read that.
