It is believed by most that lipedema fat, usually accumulated in the lower body, is irreversible and can not be lost by a caloric deficit.
Ray was once asked about this and responded that by fixing hormones, lipedema fat can be reversed. However, this seems to be a newer phenomenon so I wonder if he may have mistaken the term in question for typical edema or water retention in the legs, I could be wrong.
When lipedema fat is removed surgically, hard pebble looking fat is shown removed from the legs. It can be felt through the skin as pea shaped rather than smooth.
What do you guys think? Can this type of fat be used as energy like any other fat or is liposuction required, similar to gynecomastia?
