When you burn fat, do you just burn out the fat inside of the fat cells? Or do the fat cells disappear also?
What Im trying to determine is this, if you are unable to burn off the cells - then one could assume you could quite possibly never get down to the "look" or "size" you want because the cells are there to stay.
Which I would assume is where surgery comes in.
Am I right or wrong here?

there is some process for killing fat cells (can't remember the name / description)...there is a thread that touches on it over at Lyle's board www.bodyrecomposition.com
I think that you generally only empty the fat cells, but that doesn't stop you from getting the look your after.

This is a good question for someone like Emma, but I *believe* short of a process like liposuction, you always have the same number of fat cells, they merely have varying amounts of fat deposited in them.

i dont think you can "get rid of" fat cells (or at least not naturally), but you can just decrease the amount of fat storage in them.

there is conflciting evidence as to whether fat cells "die" with extended depletion of thier fat stores.
PGF2A does kill fat cells, but I would not reccomend it.

Yep - when the average person looses weight you do not kill your fat cells (well... the cells do not kill themselves - something known as apoptosis) you drain the fat from within the cells...Originally posted by Zachary

(annoyingly though - you CAN very easily create fat cells... Argg!!)
However - there is some new research into the effect that some suppliments have on body fat - with the most advances in CLA....
I am in a ruch at the moment (argg...!) but read these:
