My question is once this procedure has been completed and say the person really got into some heavy cardio and thus were burning a lot of fat would the body be able to burn the fat that was moved to the buttocks or does it not have the associated blood vessels to enable this?
I’m not even sure if that’s how lipids are metabolised, but I assume it’s through the blood.
What about ketosis? Are ketones a legit way to remove fat?
Yes, ketone bodies are the result of the beta-oxydation of the fatty acids in triglycerides. It’s the way the body breaks down fat into molecules that it can either burn or tranform into other molecules like sugars.
The Atkins and ketogenic diets are legit, but they can be risky and you can harm your body (like your kidneys) without professional guidance. And you can also bounce back to your original weight afterwards, which is something I find fascinating.
I wonder if the bounce back is the body trying to find homeostasis… of sorts. I’ve gone hiking for a week and come back having lost 10 lbs. A month later I’ve gained it back. I know it’s your diet, but gaining it that fast can’t be normal.
Probably at least half of it is water weight, so it might be pretty close to the recommended pound per week
