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.
There are some working theories (with some amount, but not enough yet of good science) this has to do with your gut microbiome. Since these bacteria are a critical (and still largely unknown) link in not only our digestion, hormone response, nutrient absorption, and immune/inflammatory response.
In essence, a particular set of gut bacteria are good at breaking down certain types of food in certain quantities, and they’ll tell your body to keep giving that type food and quantity. So unless that’s changed with longer term dietary changes, you’ll return to your previous state because thats what your gut is telling you to eat keeping your original cycle.
Oh wow, interesting, and seems reasonable.
Any links to even mediocre science on this? Or anythung suggestive?
I wouldn’t call it mediocre science, just the area of research needs more attention before its cemented as a complete theory with actionable paths.
Here’s a primer one some of the foundational ideas from the American Society for Microbiology.
Thanks!
Yea, poor choice of words…I was in a rush, haha.
No worries at all! I’m interested in the topic. If you run across anything on it you find interesting, please share it.
