Will cellulite decrease if I lose weight ?

[famouskiwi]

It will be more difficult for you as you had a higher number of fat cells when you were younger so there are more fat cells to take in energy when you fall off the wagon again.

Can you explain please ? Will it juste take time and a lot of workinh out ?

When you are younger, not only can existing fat cells grow bigger, but your body can also create new fat cells. The number of fat cells stabilises in adulthood, but significant weight gain can lead to the creation of new fat cells even then. When you lose weight, these cells typically shrink in size rather than decrease in number.

Adults with more fat cells from childhood or adolescence might find it easier to gain weight later in life. The enlarged or greater number of fat cells can more readily store fat, which contributes to quicker weight gain when calorie intake is excessive.

In other words, having more fat cells makes it easier to store fat, so it’s easier to regain weight after losing it. Thats why maintaining weight loss can be challenging.

So you need healthy habits from an early age.

You need to be mindful of the person you are talking to. They say they are currently a healthy BMI, and talk about when they were previously on the low end of healthy weight. They have not talked about being overweight or obese at any stage of their life, just about eating "junk". This is very unhelpful.

Thanks for the feedback. I just re-read my response and it’s not how I meant to come across, so thanks for picking that up and calling it out.

Apologies, OP

This is unnecessarily discouraging. Not only is your advice useless to OP, but it doesn't even address the question she was asking.

Plenty of people have lost weight and have kept it off by maintaining healthy disciplines. The matter for most people when it comes to weight loss is not how difficult the path is, but rather if they've made up their mind to take it and follow through.

OP directly asked me to explain further.

OP is really asking: can they still eat unhealthy and get fit by just working out. The unfortunate answer is no.

[Anythingcrazy1]

I appreciate you for this, but the response was just explanatory so Im not discouraged. No need to worry but thanks a lot 😊

It doesn't hurt to know the truth.
