Is during pregnancy. Is this true? Can anyone give me a sound answer and the basis for it? Please keep in mind, I am not talking about reducing fat or losing weight, but the release of actual fat cells.

No. Once a fat cell splits it stays two cells, even if you lose weight and the cells shrink. Liposuction is the only way to remove them.
I take that back. Should a cell become cancerous, the body's natural cancer defense system (apoptosis and NK immune cells) will destroy the cells, no matter what type, so I suppose this would apply to fat cells, too.

Nope, that's not true. The amount of fat cells you have in your body is determined during infancy and toddlerhood, and is dependent on how much fat you eat. You will never naturally lose fat cells. During pregnancy the fat cells will store more fat than usual, but the amount of cells remains the same.

Yes. Fat cells just swell up when we get fat. They do not multiply. When we lose weight, we don't lose fat cells. They shrink.
The only reason you'd lose fat cells during pregnancy is if you got a c-section. Then, you might lose a few because you got cut but still, probably not.

When you fast or do not eat for a while or eat food with very low fat. You have to create a situation so that body system will look for the other options inside the system.
