Bits of trivia I have learned this week about the subcutaneous substance we all obsess over:

A new study says that you CAN get lose fat cells, if you lose more than 10% of your body weight. – Hurray! Never mind, that was from an “O” Magazine in January.

There are two kinds of fat cells in your body – brown and white. Brown burns energy, white stores energy.
Scientists are working on a method to make the white ones turn brown. Is that possible? And if so, can we also convince them to do a little tidying up in there? That whole cellulite thing is a drag.

Yours in health, Kate
