Question I heard another rumor.... any truth in it?

Someone said to me that our bodies stop producing fat when we are very young. He said that once we stop producing fat cells, we'll have the same # of fat cells throughout our life, and when we gain weight, those cells just swell up. We can't create new fat cells.

Exception: He said that women, when they're pregnant, can change the # of fat cells in their body...

Other than that, we're stuck with what we have.

Sure, we can loose weight, and decrease our bf%... but we still maintain the same # of fat cells. Thus, some people are pre-disposed to be fatter than others.

BS?
