True weight loss refers to the reduction of body fat and a decrease in body fat percentage—not just a drop in overall body weight. It is important to distinguish this from losing water, muscle, or protein, which are not desirable forms of weight loss.
One effective method targets triglycerides stored in fat cells. When exposed to low temperatures—around 5°C—these triglycerides solidify. This process causes the fat cells to crystallize, age, and eventually die. Over time, they are naturally eliminated from the body through metabolic processes. As a result, the total number of fat cells decreases, leading to long-term fat reduction and body contouring.
