Guest guest Posted August 9, 2004 Report Share Posted August 9, 2004 While I suppose that its possible that alcohol consumption at high levels could contribute, I'm not sure that it does. Alcohol is not a " sugar " by any definition. Severe alcoholics may be getting a large percentage of their calories from alcohol, which is metabolized sort of as a fat. I think that people with lipodystrophy have lost fat cells in the extremities, so fat deposits in the belly, or wherever it finds fat cells to rest in. There are genetic differences in where we store fat (go sit in a mall and watch fat people, it's interesting). To minimize the appearance of lipo, a person would have to maintain body weight below their pre-lipo weight. JB Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
