Weight Loss according to Individuals
Ignoring
environmental, social and genetic effects, the more
fatty cells that there are, the more that a person is likely to
develop obesity. Fatty cells multiply under the influence of the growth
hormone, underlining the importance of controlling a child's weight
especially as they grow up.
The fatter a child is the faster
the fat cells will multiply and the more likely they are to have a weight
problem later in life.
Males and females also develop fat
differently. The maturing male and female hormones influence the fatty
cell receptivity to insulin. Thus the scalp does
not increase volume contrary to the belly area for men and the hips for
women.
