Alright, fat-bellied folks, it turns out exercise might just be the key to slimming up, because it helps to reduce the number of fat cells you have. This is good for the simple reason that it you have less cells to work with, so losing weight is that much easier:

Among a group of obese women who were placed on a regimen of calorie cutting alone or diet plus exercise, those who exercised showed a reduction in the size of fat cells around the abdomen. Women who only dieted showed no such change.

It only seems to work for the abdomen. No study is perfect, of course, but the results are encouraging. It’s long been though that diet and exercise are the one-two punch of weight loss, and now there’s even more proof it. If you haven’t already, make sure to start an exerise program today.
