Some interesting facts about fat cells we have been lead to believe that fat cells can disappear when we lose weight That is far from the truth

When fat is metabolized, it's primarily converted to carbon dioxide and water, which are expelled through breathing, urination, and sweating

metabolized for energy, causing the cells to shrink.
Number of fat cells remains stable:
The total number of fat cells in your body typically remains relatively constant throughout adulthood. While new fat cells can be generated, they are also broken down at a similar rate, maintaining a relatively stable number.
Weight regain:
Because fat cells don't disappear, they can easily expand again if you regain weight, potentially explaining why maintaining weight loss can be challenging.
Liposuction:
Procedures like liposuction can physically remove fat cells, but this doesn't prevent the remaining cells from expanding if you gain weight.
Where fat goes:
When fat is metabolized, it's primarily converted to carbon dioxide and water, which are expelled through breathing, urination, and sweating.

TRANFORMATION

change doesn’t happen overnight. It takes dedication to eating a healthy diet , and building muscle to increase metabolism
By no means is this easy. That’s where personal trainers are you go to.
Don’t feel like gym … maybe I’ll start tomorrow. This is very common
When you have an appointment with your personal trainer, that’s not an option
1st step - get to gym
2nd step - remember why you
you are at gym.
3rd step- make yourself accountable

Only your dedication will get you to your goal
It will take time and patience, it took a long time to get to your current weight or lose fitness. Which ever is your goal.
You will get to your goal, but have realistic expectations

My latest transformation

This took approximately one year. Look at how your confidence grows with making your goals a reality

For the ladies, muscle will give you a beautiful toned appearance. You will not turn into the Hulk. Women’s hormones don’t allow for that. Don’t be afraid of lifting weights

Thank you for your dedication, it payed off. With determination I seldom see.

Do you know you can over hydrate?

We are constantly told to keep hydrated, but drinking too much of any liquid could have negative consequences
Over hydration causes water toxicity. It upsets the natural electrolyte balance.
Confusion, nausea and vomiting are symptoms. Severe cases can cause seizures, coma and death.
