Biohacking?

A bizarre article, both in subject and tone. At least it taught me the word “solipsistic”.

    "Bulletproof Coffee Breakfast"

    Well, I have lost 30 pounds since February by having two Starbuck grandee lattes, low fat to start the day, and 600-800 calories throughout the rest of the day. Does that count?

    When you really think about what a human is, we are just a huge pile of cells. What are cells?

    Well, bubbles.. lots and lot of tiny bubbles. You just gotta get rid of some of the bubbles... the little fat ones. The required process is called lipolysis, regardless of what you do to get it started.

    I understood that after you had gorged yourself for years causing your body grow lots of extra fat cells to store the excess energy it was impossible to reduce the number of fat cells back to normal by dieting. You could only "deflate them".
    Any medics around who can confirm this?

    That's what I thought, Heater. So liposuction is biohacking?

    Darn it. I thought I was killing those nasty little fat cells and all they are doing is shrinking and waiting for their next meal.

    And to make it worse, liposuction is one of the items that will trigger your body to make more fat cells. It seems that once you got em, you almost can't get right of them.

    Those nasty little fat cells are actually aliens from the planet Adipose 3.
    As explained here : http://tardis.wikia.com/wiki/Adipose

    I may have to visit a budget liposuction clinic in Thailand to get rid of the little beasties. Having aliens under my skin gives me a creepy feeling. I've always thought that Adipose might have a hidden meaning.
