HOW BIG ARE FAT CELLS?

|
The size of a typical fat cell in an adult at 'healthy weight' is about 0.6 micrograms, but they can range from 0.2 micrograms to 0.9 micrograms. Overweight individuals take a double hit in the 'fat cell climax' because not only do they have more fat cells, their fat cells are about 1/3 bigger than people with healthy weights. Take note that the more fat cells a person collects, the harder it can be to lose weight, so that's a very good reason to begin now instead of producing additional fat cells which will only serve to make future weight loss efforts even more difficult. |
