How can I kill all the fat cells in my body and stay slim forever?
This is something we hear often:
“I wish there was something, a pill or a procedure, to kill (almost) all my fat cells forever, so I can eat whatever I want and never put on weight anymore”.
Or:
“What do you think would happen if we didn't have subcutaneous or other fat”?
Most people actually use the word “almost” to mean that some fat should stay intact in all the strategic places (butt, breasts, face etc), with the rest mostly gone.
To which my answer is:
“Be careful what you wish for…”
Because, believe me, you would not want such a thing to happen to you, as without fat cells you would end up dead.
Let me explain.
Imagine if you could keep fat just where it looks nice with the rest gone, just like those top models do. That would be amazing, right?
Wrong.
What you don’t think of is that those top models are slim because:
They exercise, thereby keeping fat and sugar in their bloodstream at normal levels
They eat little, thereby keeping fat and sugar in their bloodstream at normal levels
They are usually young with high metabolism, thereby keeping fat and sugar in their bloodstream at normal levels
If said top models did not do any of the above three things (exercise, lean eating, naturally high metabolism), their fat cells would swell to store the fat and sugar in their bloodstream, derived from their food. As a result, they would become “average”, just like all of us who wish we were slim.
If you, me or anyone else, lost our fat cells with some miraculous procedure or pill (except perhaps some fat cells left in strategic places, as noted above), what do you think would happen?
The fat cells in the so-called strategic places would fill up excessively, leading to extreme sized breasts, butt and face
And when those limited fat tissues expanded to their maximum capacity and filled up to the brim, triglycerides and glucose (ie. fat and sugar) derived from the “I can eat all I want” diet would accumulate in your bloodstream and kill you (Have you hard of diabetes / blocked arteries? Exactly…)
Fat cells are here to store fat but also to clear up fat and glucose from our bloodstream
Although fat cells were originally designed by nature to store calories to be used on a rainy day (see starvation, disease etc), they also serve another purpose: to scoop excess triglycerides (fat) and glucose (sugar) from the bloodstream and thereby act as buffers of blood chemistry, absorbing glucosenn and triglycerides (the liver does something similar, but with a more limited capacity).
Basically, fat cells are your friend and only become nasty (i.e. unsightly, inflammatory etc) if you abuse them with excess food and too little physical activity.
So if indeed there was a way to keep some strategic fat with the rest of the fat gone (or all fat gone) in order to look like a model, you would simply die - unless you…
followed a lean diet
exercised a lot
had high metabolism
or any combination of the above
…like top models do to stay slim and healthy.
But that would defy the whole purpose of the “wish”, which is:
To eat “as normal”, i.e. our unhealthy and excessive Western diet and largely sedentary lifestyle - not to mention cocktails, wine and champagne
And never put any fat on - and no, one hour of yoga and one hour of pilates a week do not count as a physically active lifestyle
Sure, there are ways to never put any weight on, other than dieting:
Ozempic/Wegovy/Mounjaro (GLP-1 inhibitors) make sure you don’t eat - but that defies the whole purpose of “I want to eat my cake and stay slim”
Stimulants increase your metabolism, but they are detrimental to health
Lots of exercise works in keeping you slim, but again that defies the whole purpose of “I want to eat my cake and stay slim without exercising like crazy 5 days a week”
All in all, there is no magic “kill all my fat cells, except some” solution to staying slim and trim while living the Western lifestyle, including rich food, alcohol and bingeing on endless Netflix series while immersed in the couch and eating pizza and ice cream.
The magic solution is exercise a lot and eat lean and clean. And perhaps something will come up in the future which will ensure higher metabolism (to give us a helping hand), without the detrimental side effects of stimulants. Or perhaps we can use future GLP-1 inhibitors to get a helping hand with eating less but without the side effects of the current ones.
How about killing all the fat cells on one or two places at least, especially my thighs and stomach?
Sounds like an amazing idea.
Have liposuction, liposculpture, mini-lipo, vaser, bodytite, smart lipo, microneedling RF, extreme intensity RF, HIFU or any other hyped-up miracle procedure, to melt / burn / “coagulate” / damage / blah blah blah / destroy local fat tissue, which will then never grow again.
So at least you can stay slim forever just on the thighs or the stomach (or the arms or the waist or the back etc, whatever you fancy) and perhaps put on fat anywhere else instead.
What people who promise you this miraculous fat melting / burning / coagulating / forever damaging / destroying / blah blah blah don’t tell you is that fat cells can differentiate from mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs), enlarge to 3000 times their original size and proliferate, if there is a positive calorie balance and/or lack of mechanical stimulation due to inactivity.
In other words fat cells can grow LITERALLY ANYWHERE in the body and swell out of all proportion if one eats enough, drinks alcohol enough or does not exercise enough. And it can REGROW even on areas where fat was removed by said miraculous procedures.
Why didn’t they tell you that before you had your procedure?
Some of them because they didn’t have a clue (sorry, that’s the truth), despite the tens of thousands of research papers in the last three decades (unforgivable ignorance, especially from doctors)
And some because they simply lied to you (sorry, that’s the truth again). Yes, that includes even those highly esteemed plastic surgeons, who definitely, absolutely know how adipose tissue works.
So again, have those procedures if you wish (be careful, some work, most don’t, many are unsafe), but make sure you follow a healthy, clean, active lifestyle afterwards. Otherwise fat cells will regrow, even on the areas where fat is removed. FACT.
Fat cannot be efficiently removed without surgery - but cellulite fat can be
Since subcutaneous fat (what people call “fat”) cannot be efficiently removed without surgery or without procedures that may cause burns, scar tissue and damage, we do not offer fat reduction treatments.
But always follow a healthy, active lifestyle afterwards, to maintain results
For reduction of hypodermal fat (what people call “cellulite”), which works very well with our (99.5% safe) deep-acting, high-power radiofrequency and high-power ultrasound cavitation treatments, we are honest and truthful to our clients and recommend an active lifestyle and healthy eating during/after their course of treatments, to prevent cellulite from reappearing again.
Please note: there is not permanent cellulite reduction with any method of any kind, including surgery (especially not with surgery, which is the worst option for cellulite reduction).
