United States: Recently, reports from esteemed research institutions revealed that fat cells have ‘memory.’
The research revealed that it is possible to shed excess pounds, but a memory of excess weight is retained in the nucleus of fat cells, which controls metabolism and stimulates the regaining of the lost weight.
More about the news
According to Dr. Whit Roberts of Health Utah, “The fat always comes back,” and “Unless you do one very important thing. It doesn’t seem to matter how you lose weight. Lose weight with shots, fad diets, cleanses, keto, you name it–the fat comes back. Now we know why.”
For 30 years now, Roberts has been treating patients with weight problems, including the obese, ksl.com reported.
He has observed this phenomenon of repeatedly gaining and losing similar weight with his patients several times.
They shed some weight through calorie restriction, banishing whole groups of food, or some other latest craze.
They can even lose it and maintain the loss for some time, but the weight is always sure to come back.
Then they start to spin the yo-yo again, which is sometimes also referred to as the yo-yo effect. This sometimes gets really frustrating for many patients as well.
The memory of a fatter self
The memory of your fatter self is knots of energy that literally sit on the DNA and instruct it to turn on or off at certain times.
These markers are very powerful. It really instructs the cells what to do, ksl.com reported.
As Roberts explains, “The markers attach to our DNA over time in response to environmental factors, lifestyle, and diet,” and “This means that even if you cut out sodas and fast food, you may be paying for your previous bad food choices for a long time to come.”
At this time, there is no known method to remove the memory of the fat cells immediately.
To date, no single drug has been found capable of washing off these chemical markers.
The markers can possibly be present in the whole life cycle of the cell. The issue with that is that fat cells have what could be considered a ‘long’ lifespan.
This fat cell lasts for 10 years before it is replaced by a new one. What is even worse is that the program at Health Utah does the exact opposite of this.
At Health Utah, there are no forbidden foods, no restrictions on the entire food groups, and no measurement of calories, macros, or points.
One does not have to consume only fats or only meats or eat anything in the way you are following some other extremely rigid diet.
